I don't know if I should ever bother about Herriot spoilers. It's mostly just resetting a cow uterus most of the time, and several times.

They are are damn good books, though, and the full set isn't very expensive

Five to go.

That's pretty badass, imagine a Atari collection remake with just visual upgrades like this.

Custer's Revenge, please.

Still faster than dealing with their ads, though that is indeed scummy as fuck.

The non-answer answer from google is even more scummy.

To support a diverse ecosystem of creators globally and allow billions to access their favorite content on YouTube, weve launched an effort to urge viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium for an ad free experience. Users who have ad blockers installed may experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using.

There's no "urging" here. It's just an arbitrary five seconds of the UI pretending to load.

these are the important parts:

Redditor vk6_ has shared a video showing a five-second delay when loading into a YouTube video on Mozilla Firefox. Upon manually changing the user agent on the browser to Chrome, the five-second delay no longer appears. The video has been reproduced below:

Google is targeting useragent-string (or maybe not, according to the reddit nerds), so there's a fairly-trivial workaround of messing with the browser's reported useragent.

However, multiple users have reported the same across Firefox and Edge. The users claim to have experienced the delay without any extensions enabled, indicating that the delay could be on a per-account basis. The delay also does not trigger just once; it is reportedly triggered every time YouTube links are opened in a new tab.

Or, an even more trivial workaround of just not logging into youtube, which seems to also help hose the anti-adblock mechanism.

The detection used in their Youtube Adblock ban is illegal, too: https://www.dexerto.com/tech/youtube-accused-of-using-illegal-adblock-detection-in-premium-sub-push-2387652/

https://iabeurope.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/20160516-IABEU_Guidance_AdBlockerDetection.pdf

this is an interesting bit:

Publishers may want to err on the side of caution and obtain consent for the
use of ad blocker detection scripts to preempt and avoid any legal challenges.

Yeah... that's not going to end up as obscured and abusive dark patterns at all, right?

Publishers could use two practical solutions to request and obtain consent for
the use of ad blocker detection: a consent banner or a consent wall.
Publishers could also make use of a combination of the two to complement
each other.

...and that was fast.

That'd be the first time since Heller that was got a proper, contextual, and historical reading of the 2A. And, as a bonus, we could throw that bizarre "history and tradition" standard in their face they've been trying out, because they ignored the actual history and tradition standards of the 2A.

Let's say that happens.
How do you suddenly enforce that, when there's more guns than people?

Dobbs is the most useful model here. That has already been a disaster.

Why not?

Because the law-abiding don't have guns there, but the shooters do.

Nobody ever gives a damn about gun violence in 'merica, until some white dude shoots several other white dudes at once.

Iowa isn't supposed to be "hick" - that's for the next one south.

There isn't a goddamn thing that can be done for gun control, that Ronald Reagan didn't already do in 1986.
It's theoretical, that a hard-left SCOTUS can decide that the 2nd amendment doesn't actually mean that civilians are meant to have firearms, but that is going to be a very disastrous day.

If America knows that gun control vastly reduces gun crime, why does it instead continue to manufacture tons of firearms nonstop?

Gun control is impossible when there are more guns than people.
