A major newspaper here in Italy has started to do that dumb "you can only read ten articles per month for free, click here and pay us money if you want more" on its website.

They probably track it by cookies, if so deleting cookies and reloading the page when you hit the paywall should reset everything. Should.

Also there's a weird glitch with some news websites where if you Google the article name and click the link from Google it just works regardless of how many you've read. Or at least there was, I haven't tried it too recently.

Doesn't incognito mode disable cookies? Haven't tried it, but seems worth a shot. Usually if a website has a limited number of articles I just find it somewhere else, very few news sites really have unique things to report anymore.

Dr Christmas posted:High winds in my area knocked out the power this afternoon. It went from a brownout at 2 or 3 to blackout between 5 and 6. Still no power. It's noon and the power is still out, and DTE energy's hotline is still playing yesterday's message, saying that we're currently experiencing high winds until 8 PM tonight (last night) and estimates will be unavailable until later tomorrow (today) morning.

Another trick for a lot of websites that have paywalls; if it's just an element that covers the screen and blocks your view (and doesn't actually force you off the page), a lot of the time you can set up custom adblock scripts and just remove the element that's blocking your view. Just right-click on it and attempt to block it.

I was having a bad day and an internet stranger noticed and talked to me. Mostly I just needed to vent and I really appreciated them reaching out. But then it made me realize how few friends I have left now that everyone is off living their lives.

The people who moved in above me who randomly hammer drill for only a second at random hours (including middle of the night) for the past 6 months or so? Well on Sunday they were using some floor buffer or chainsaw that woke me the gently caress up at 9am (Sunday-sleep in late). And Sunday is the Quiet Day (can't do any construction), and they get paperwork that says this. Well and they obviously ignore the Quiet Hours/days, and they still just bzzzzzt for 1 second randomly at random hours. 4:23 AM? BZZZZT! 8:23 PM? BZZZZT! (can't do construction past 5 pm). Here's the good part. I went to dinner tonight and ate some oysters, and they did not sit well with me. So I was vomiting in my bathroom. THEY BANGED ON THE FLOOR. And not a 'eh maybe something fell' type of banging, this was intentional. It was 5-6 bangs, in the bathroom above me. They were timed so there is no way it's something that fell, and also due to the architecure of the building, they were absolutely intentional. HOW DARE SOMEONE VOMIT WHILE I THINK ITS TOTALLY COOL TO DRILL AT 3 IN THE MORNING I never submitted a complaint regarding the drilling because I am really not that type of person to submit complaints, but this is like... wtf. I tried to hit my toilet brush onto the ceiling in between vomits, but of course that's super quiet compared to whatever they were smashing their floor with. e: THEY JUST STARTED HAMMERING (nail and hammer, not the drill. yet.).

I once lived in an apartment where the guys above us had a halfpipe in their living room and would skateboard all the time.

Vomit through their mail slot. Or be mature and knock on their door, and tell them to quit doing whatever it is their doing. Then start filing complaints/filling their keyhole with superglue if they keep doing it.

If they're gonna pitch a fit about the vomiting I'd start with the keyhole glue first.

I have been sick for two weeks. My major symptoms are gone, but I've had a range of headache from small to migraine for the past five days. What the hell. I feel like I'm hungover constantly. And I bought the latest Kindle Fire HD 8 since my first-generation one finally twitched frequently enough to be annoying. But the new one has so many strange features! Recommendations and notifications you can't turn off. No indicator light to say if it's charging or full battery when plugged in. Lots of stupid apps I can't delete. UGH.

I'd pre-ordered a comic book (print edition of a webcomic) months back, and I've been waiting for shipment since. Of loving course, I get the e-mail notification that it's been shipped right as I arrive abroad for a two-week business trip, so there'll be no one home to get the package from DHL. Meaning I will at the very least have to go pick it up myself when I go back, or possibly that it'll get sent back.

My phone case is in tatters and I don't really want to replace it, but it's weird as hell using it without one. I should've done more uni work today but I've been feeling kind of tired so I just listened to a lecture and stared at a group thing for a bit. For some reason I decided to just leave my chef's knife blade up while scrubbing my chopping board so of course I rammed my idiot finger into it. Now I have a cut at the tip of my ring finer and it stings and made doing the dishes a pain. Gitro has a new favorite as of 11:20 on Mar 14, 2017 |

Thin Privilege posted:I got a job! And it isn't retail! I got a second non-retail job!  I also found out that the art exhibition is going to pay me next month! I have no idea why things are going well, just watch, something bad will happen soon  gonna x post this cause this is a complainy thread. complaint: I am going through my eight, yes EIGHT hard drives, most of which I bought when I was drinking and just dumped files into them so it's a complete and utter mess, and there are so many duplicates. It is exhausting and horrible and time-consuming. I'm currently only doing this for a separate project, so I'm only looking for certain things. I will later be working on my art portfolio so I'll have to go through these again, and another problem with that is that I don't even remember what type of works I've made in the past so I will have to look at every single file. Even now I've found amazing projects and I'm like, "wow I made that?"

My box of live animals was not delivered today because the chucklefuck who sent it didn't put the complete address label on the box; he was missing a line from it. The Paypal info even says the address is not confirmed, and I gave him my number in case there were any issues, but he didn't contact me. So now the box is being sent back, the fish inside are all dead, and I am arguing with the sender because he insists he only sent to the address I provided (ignoring the emails and other notes about the full address).

I ordered the second smallest uniform shirt possible and it's still way too big, it's hot, the pants are comfy but slightly too long and it's absolutely not pants weather and the left ear of my headphones doesn't work unless I hold the chord in a very specific way. I haven't had time to do laundry since the uniform arrived so it has a plasticy-new sort of smell and I hate it. I'm feeling super self conscious. This is rear end.

One of my New Year's resolutions this year was to finish a new book every month (have a bunch then got a bunch more for free after a friend moved overseas) and I'm behind schedule on my book for this month and really want to just sit on my rear end and post/play video games but I gotta read instead

I have a Grisham book right now which moves at a decent clip, it just hasn't hooked me lately. My stretch goal for this resolution is to get far enough ahead of schedule that I can take down my friend's copy of Infinite Jest at the end of the year

Jackass still could have contacted be BEFORE shipping live animals in 93* weather when I specifically told him it was going to my work, and amazingly enough the business name is missing from the label. FWP: Animal rescue I work with just got, after months of begging and social media work, got a sedan donated to them. Within a loving day the director was back to blasting and begging for help for a SUV or a full van because while the sedan is nice, it's not big enough. Bitch, this is the second car the rescue has been given in a year! The first was "too expensive to repair" and don't lie, this new one is just for your personal use! Stop begging for poo poo while the new donation paperwork is still wet!

My sleep schedule is all out of whack because I'm sick. I'm constantly exhausted, but I can't stay asleep too long because breathing is hard.  My nose and sinuses are stuffed up, but blowing my nose does nothing and taking medicine isn't helping. Sometimes my sinuses feel simultaneously dried out and full of wet rags. It's terrible. I'm also getting dehydrated despite having a ton of water and juice and tea, so I keep drinking more liquids which means waking up having to pee..And now there's construction going on down the hall.

I bought a shawarma for lunch, but the second I unwrapped it, the pita disintegrated and the contents spilled everywhere. Now I have to eat the pile of mush with a fork. Also, I went to the mall on my lunch break to try to find a shirt/some swag for St. Patrick's Day since we are going out tonignt, and there was literally none to be found!
