There was a prequel to The Crows Have Eyes 3: The Crowening?

AdAway (F-Droid) will do the same but on-device (so it works everywhere), and if you're rooted it'll do it without the VPN by directly updating the hosts file.

My mum would marry this man 😆

Watching my elderly parents and those around them interact with modern technology I really understand her frustration.

Technology everywhere comes with shitloads of user-hostile patterns and defaults, tons of assumed context, and the inevitable replacement will work completely differently. In the case of streaming services we can't even vote with our wallets because it's HBO's own content.

No doubt Plaza's in a position to get herself some assistance, but that doesn't mean it's not a super legit gripe for everyone else.

I assume you're joking lol, but just in case that's Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter movie franchise.

Have my angry upvote.

Oh there are huge problems with my viewpoint - I wouldn't even say it's rational lol! I think that's probably why I have trouble with the great rational arguments like yours (and many others in this thread).

I didn't know there was a proper name for the 80/20 rule, thanks!

Hi all 👋

I'm looking for some help locating large packs/collections of crossword puzzles (in my case for use with the Shortyz/Forkyz Android app) pretty please (sob story below if you're interested). I promise I'm not trying to be lazy (though it's possible, as my mum would say, that I'm having a boy's look), but I've looked around on archive.org, all my usual pirate sources (the generals and MAM have a bunch of books in PDF/ePub and the like, but nothing in machine-readable format), Forkyz list of sources, and ofc Google, and come up I feel surprisingly empty.

Anyway, thank you in advance to everyone 💙

<sob-story> Dad's in palliative care and my step-mum is getting a bit bored with her Sudoku puzzles, which of course I've had no trouble providing lol. </sob-story>

 

Hi all 👋

I'm looking for some help locating large packs/collections of crossword puzzles for use with the Shortyz/Forkyz Android app (.puz, .json etc) pretty please (sob story below if you're interested). I promise I'm not trying to be lazy (though it's possible, as my mum would say, that I'm having a boy's look), but I've looked around on archive.org, all my usual pirate sources, Forkyz list of sources, and ofc Google, and come up I feel surprisingly empty. I've found a couple of packs of the NYT crosswords, which will work, but I'm hoping I can find some to ease her in to because she's used to doing the ones in our local news rag which don't quite match up to the NYT.

Anyway, thank you in advance to everyone 💙
