Why are you looking at your phone while driving? Are you asking for an accident?I want good ads. Like I want the bot to guess that I'm craving fried chicken, and let me know the chicken joint I'm about to drive by is having a sale.

Why are you looking at your phone while driving? Are you asking for an accident?
At some point I start wondering how some places on the Internet are sustainable at all. You’d think that people using AdBlock on annoying sites or just not visiting will put a big dent in a site’s revenue.Constant Contact's annoying YouTube ads.
Also just YouTube ads in general. They always seem to cut speakers off in mid-sentence, and there will usually be two ad breaks in a 15-20 minute video. It's aggravating. Don't even get me started about the 15-second unskippable ads.

Dyson. Effing Dyson.
Crap products. Crap customer support. Crap warranty return procedure where they give you a 'freepost' label that was produced by the work experience kid from the local primary school that produces barcodes no scanner in the world could possibly read they are so fuzzy.
I'd rather suck the dog hair off the floor through a straw than ever have to deal with a company that is so far up its own fundamental orifice it feels it can sell overpriced crap and treat customers like utter garbage afterwards.
In my own defence I didn't buy the POS. I had a Dyson once and I'd rather have root canal daily than ever own one again.
Unbelievable.
Sooooo it sounds like you're 50/50 on the value vs. cost if I'm reading that right. . .
So tell us how you REALLY feel about them.If the factory was next door I'd burn the bastard down.
I suppose they can say, "Dyson, at least we don't suck".

"Dyson, we make products that suck. Literally"I suppose they can say, "Dyson, at least we don't suck".
I am guessing you have a cordless one? We have a floor model, as does my wife's parents, and they work well. Our cleaner purchased a Nilfisk industrial vacuum and she wishes she had purchased the Dyson.Dyson. Effing Dyson.

I have a DC4 I found at the side if the road on big clean up day( once a month council pick up day for those outside Oz) bought a charger $20. Good as new. I love it, but I'm with you on the Kardashians and the ball Dyson.Big Ball Kinetic.
It came with a timber floor attachment which scratched up the floor quite well.
I had one around 10 years ago and it was good, but I will never touch a Dyson product again unless it is to hurl it in a rubbish skip.
The filters have been serviced.
YMMV. I mean, some people like the Kardashians…
I know some people love their Dyson, but this has been useless since day one.
Apple were a good company once as well. Look what happened there…
I refuse to go in a Walmart because of that. It causes instant depression thinking of how primitive of a society we really are.Jumps back on the soap box. My wife and I went to Walmart for some stuff today. Again I ask, are there no mirrors in these peoples houses? This town is full of slobs. Going out in public in clothes I wouldn't work in the yard wearing. When I go to Eugene Oregon every year, I have said the same thing. Oh look, normal people. Half the town here is a heart attack waiting to happen. Most of the other retirees are ok. But the rest don't look like they have 2 brain cells. We were at the VA clinic before going to Walmart. Normal people there. But Walmart, yuck.

Being in a power chair, I went into a Wal mart after getting messed up. I looked up while riding in a mobility scooter and told my wife, " I've reached the low point of my entire life, riding amongst the low-life obese trailer trash in a Walmart"I don’t know. When I go to the local Oz equivalent I come out feeling young for my age, hygienic, savagely underweight, and almost passable.
This ^^^^^^^^At some point I start wondering how some places on the Internet are sustainable at all. You’d think that people using AdBlock on annoying sites or just not visiting will put a big dent in a site’s revenue.
The worst are the sites where every mouse click outside of a 10-second window opens up an ad in a new window. Or those that just send you into a pornado.
There's a new thing called a pop-up blocker. It's come a long way recently, say, in the last 20 years.The worst are the sites where every mouse click outside of a 10-second window opens up an ad in a new window. Or those that just send you into a pornado.
I've never seen a pop-up on TRF. Banner ads, yes, and they've never caused me any trouble logging in, as the login dialog box sits over them. Not that I have to log in often, since it's only once in a blue moon I find myself not logged in when I arrive. (I logged out today to take this screen shot, then logged back in to post itrocketryforum.com is one of the worst offenders if you happen to open it without logging in.
And then at that point it's impossible to log in because there is a strip ad that goes horizontally across the screen right where you have to enter your username. So I have no way to click on that box.
I chose "stay logged in". Don't have to log in every time.rocketryforum.com is one of the worst offenders if you happen to open it without logging in.

Instead, after researching and buying a truck my ads are for trucks for a year or two.
Absolute Capitalism= Shell Oil-In its earnings report for the first quarter of 2022, Shell reported a net income of $9.13 billion—nearly triple of the $3.2 billion reported in the same quarter last year—beating out its previous record from 2008. While giving it's employees none of the profit, you know, the people who actually do all the work to make profits possible. Just like Amazon, greed beyond belief.
Yes, yes. I'm well aware of ALL this.I chose "stay logged in". Don't have to log in every time.
In account preferences you can also choose "disable advertising" and "disable sponsor ads."
And there is Adblocker. Just got an email today with stats. 2.5 mil. ads blocked this month, 2.1 mil. trackers blocked. Saved 8.1 gb of data. Websites load faster, data usage reduced.
Haven't seen an ad on this forum for months.
And 10-20 cents/gallon in Libya, Iran, and Syria. Doesn't mean I want to live there.You're upset with the wrong people. Oh, and gas is $2.51/g in Russia right now. Haha.
