Mistakes happen. My grandparents got one because the sign was a good 50m away (a long way for a disabled driver) and looked like it was referring to another part of the road, and my mother got one when she stopped for 20s to pick me up from

Standard practice at university. Everyone just had a generic <Name>, Selwyn College, Cambridge address, so you'd just meet them at the main gate. Rarely checked ID (non-Deliveroo).

I have read, though I'm struggling to find an original source, that it was due to memory constraints - it was easier to spawn a vehicle if it was already loaded than to keep paging between them.

I can see the argument, but completely ignoring the date means that you only have to control the domain _once_ to have a certificate forever. A grace period of a few days might more sense, but completely ignoring the date seems risky.

That doesn't counter "That alone". A single example doesn't prove that that alone may may cause it - even within that example, there may be other factors at play.

It's not best of 2 - it's a new vote. It supersedes the old one, and when you lose, you don't lose _permanently_ - in any functioning democracy, there's _always_ another vote.

If you can think of a good reason to do so, maybe. Two and a half years passing, having far more information about the process, and questions about the legality of the leave campaigns seem like perfectly legitimate reasons to hold a second

I believe rhexs's point is that it's using the same domains for video data and ad data - i.e. you're seeing hxxps://youtube.com/video_data, hxxps://youtube.com/ad_data, hxxps://youtube.

The best way around this is to pick the right block lists - I can count on one hand the number of times it's blocked legitimate content (and I run rather a long list of block lists). wally3k's list is good for this - https:/
