Glad you enjoyed it.

The Van Damme cables seem less of a scam to me. Instead of specifications from fantacy land, they seem to have put some effort into actully making a better cable.

If nothing else, however rediculous "silver plated oxygen free copper" sounds to me for an audio cable, it is a lot better than "carban based noise dissapation layer".

I am curious, in what situation would you decide to buy something like a Van Damme over a regular name brand well made cable.

What you mean I dont need a $400 XLR that has

advanced geometry, solid Perfect-Surface Copper+, Hard-Cell Foam insulation, Triple Balanced geometry, and a Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)??

Those big fancy words sound super important. It's even got special features such as a disconnected ground

Whereas almost every other “balanced” cable uses its shield as the ground reference, AQ Triple-Balanced cables use a separate dedicated shield that is only connected on one end.

God this is so bad, I don't even want to link it, but here you go Did I mentioned the Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation?

Ha, glad you enjoyed it.

I've tweaked it a bit. Now featuring - improved grammar, an ending and a few more jabs at YouTube.

• Finally, we've thought of the little ones with our special version of YouTube for Kids, called YouTube Kids. Here we use an advanced AI system of people who can find the report button to filter out any content we decide goes against our ever changing guidelines. We allow your children to only watch the most mind numbing, cheaply made, addicitive garbage to keep them ocupied while you do more important things than raising your child.

Still not convinced, lastly we added in the amazing feature called offline viewing. This will download the videos you select to your device offline in an encrypted format so hackers can't steal them from you, allowing you to watch them anywhere, provided you have an internet connection so we can verify you downloaded the videos.

Buy YouTube Premium today, and buy it again every month, for the low price of your daughter's medium latte macchiato coffe milkshake with extra caramel, whipped cream and a cute bright red40 cherry on top.

My schools blocker used to block their own site from time to time. I wouldnt really call it stupidity, school IT or the vendor (im sure they payed some absurd amout for the service) would tweak the filter and the school site would get flagged.

3 for sure

The IRS is (supposedly) under funded. That's (supposedly) why they can't actually go after the rich people and business. They can't afford the legal fees.

The reason there's no federals site is corporate lobbying. You see if there was federal site, business like Turbo Tax and HR Block would fail. They convinced the government "let us take care of the online platform", the gov said "okay, but as long as you make a free service for low income people".

Then the corps branded the free version a different name, burried it and advertised the paid one. Then they filled the service with all kinds of dark patterns to get people to pay for crap they don't need. Government hasn't done anything about it.

I see you're playing with the slevless outfit mods.

Thats what I said

Watch out for Sonic!

For some its not a big deal. For anyone with the computer in their bed room, they want to click shut off and not have all the flashy lights and fans on for the next 30 minutes while windows undoes all the debloat tools you've ran.
