You get given water during races, and you don't need a support team for that to happen. There are people handing them out at set locations, so there's no need to carry all of that with you. You often get gels too and its worth t

> Marathons are about running my own pace. The fact that there exists a world record is a piece of trivia. I do find the record fascinating. If I take the 5k, 10k and half-marathon world records and double them then I can run faster tha

How is buying a midrange phone new a scam? Just because a second hand premium one is better value (assuming you don't place any value on being brand new). You buy it knowing full well that it isn't a premium device but most peop

I expect a lot of people who run adblockers on mobile, also configure their DNS or use a VPN to block ads. On Android, you can't even get an adblocker on Chrome, which is the browser most users and using.

Blocking the domain of the video player works. For example, primis.tech you can add this to your uBO filter: ||primis.tech$domain=~primis.tech Primis is one of them, but there are a few of these companies. I can't remember the

In 10 years - 100MB In 20 years - 20MB I think there'll continue to be growth in page sizes, but then maybe we'll consider efficiency, or the NYTimes shuts down and the 20MB page will be the liquidators selling the domain. Maybe

Even with ad blocking, it's transferring over 200KB of data, half of which is to load a couple of fonts. Not terrible but the basic HTML is only 17KB.

If scripting wasn't allowed, we'd probably all have a different browser that allowed it - probably wrapped in a Flash wrapper.

27KB of CSS for me, but only if I switch off uBO. Otherwise, there's no CSS. I think the CSS is just for the cookie popup styling.

The good thing about the heavy use of GTM, is that its easy to block. Just block that one endpoint and you remove most of the advertising and tracking. When some new advertising service is invented, its already blocked thanks to the block
