Other platforms exist. I'm sure they'll be fine.

You're in for a treat, my friend. I hope you love the book.

Manual lawnmower.

The surface RT and windows ME e-machine computer were both a close second.

Who's driving that ambulance?

If we used billboards for something like missing children or traffic announcements etc I'd be okay with that. But pretty much no actual ads for products. Billboards are a driving distraction and I don't approve.

Whatever floats your boat. But EMS recommends against inserting things that don't have a flared base. Do with that information whatever you want.

It's a novelty lay on toy. Not for insertion.

The thing is, if I want something I'll go looking for it. At the point where I'm looking for it or something like it, I am happy to consume ads even tangentially related to that thing. If analytics marketing worked this way (showing me relevant ads when I'm shopping for something, even if it's for something I am not actively looking for), things would be better. But ads have worked their way into the cracks of everything and that's my problem with them.

I hate Billboards. I don't like circulars (waste of paper and generally too much trash), I hate junk mail and I think it's predatory. Popups (singing, flashing, scrolling when I scroll to stay on the page, tiny exit buttons, video, etc) are garbage.

Trump would kill himself in a week. Vetinari wouldn't even have to do anything except talk to his dog during the debate. Vetinari would even put through a request the the Assassins guild to make sure the price to beat was too high to have him assassinated. Just to make a point.

I mean. There's a balance to walk between changing things to make game play more accessible and fun in a video game setting, and making it broken and perhaps less fun to play.

On the mach E, my understanding is there's a panel where you hook up a jump box that supplies power to those circuits to allow you to use your key fob to open the door. But there's no bladed key to manually unlock the car. So technically there's a failsafe but it's not ideal. And I agree it ought not be allowed.

Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.
