From another thread (still relevant I think): uBlock, NoScript and RequestPolicy are my tools to control the content my web browser displays. My general rule is that I'll only disable ad blocking on a few trusted sites and never on a

If something like that bothers you that much, you can do what I do and route your web traffic through a cheap VPS. I don't really do it because I'm super paranoid or because I'm attempting to hide illicit activity. I just do

These types of creations always make me feel embarrassed about the things I've built in Minecraft. Then again, I don't really have the free time outside of family and work to dedicated to building things on that scale.

It is absolutely ridiculous how pricing schemes like that are even legal. Have insurance that covers a non-typical lab test? They bill $1000 to your carrier (regardless of what th e contracted rate will be) and you are usually responsible
