It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.” - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (slightly modified by me).

- insanitybit 3y agoSo if Youtube required a sign-in you'd say that they have a right to enforce ads not being blocked?
