I'll probably be mostly updating @escargotim unless I'm bitching about something or insulting someone. So, maybe follow there, gorgeous? Yeah, you like that? Hmmm Mmmhmm oh yeah, ... I mean, what was I talking about?

With the modern telegram clone that is "ICQ" going away, that leaves only the real #ICQ from NINA. Currently versions ICQ 2000 to 8 supported. Learn more at nina.chat where you can use ICQ without giving your phone number. We're also on @escargotim

Well, follow up: @YouTube / @TeamYouTube did it yet again. I love going to my library and clicking thru endless things to get to what was once easily available. And they fucked up Search too, now you go to Search only to go to Search again at the top. No more Premium, I'm done.

Why did @YouTube / @TeamYouTube have to break the Library section of the Roku app? Nothing like going through tons more crap to find what I want, what garbage. And yet still no "Go to Channel" option on the Subscriptions section. Gang of idiots.

@frncsbkr @ej_beehiiv @helloitsolly @chris_byrne @beehiiv 2/ what's worse is the utter morons who say bafflingly stupid stuff about UCEPROTECT like "if they were a scam, big companies wouldn't use them!" & "if you don't want to be on the list, maybe stop spamming?" It's like tattooing on your forehead that you know diddly-dick about #IT

@frncsbkr @ej_beehiiv @helloitsolly @chris_byrne @beehiiv It's sometimes blackholed, sometimes in server logs if they are a MS or Y! host, explicitly: MS uses UCE. The only blacklist we've ever appeared on is UCE and if you search plenty of people have called out MS for using them for hotmail & outlook (customisable or not) for *years*

What's your view on "powered by" branding on paid tiers? I just upgraded to @beehiiv's $99/month plan... and can't remove this element. Thoughts?

@frncsbkr @ej_beehiiv @helloitsolly @chris_byrne @beehiiv If a lot of your users or customers use Microsoft (outlook, et al) email or Yahoo or are hosted by these companies (among others) then you'll find it is indeed "major" since for some insane reason Microsoft, Yahoo, and others help promote this scam.

@ej_beehiiv @helloitsolly @chris_byrne @beehiiv IMO, Dont worry about UCEPROTECT. They are not by any means a major blocklist. I'd argue they are more a scam. They list by IP Range, and charge to be delisted. (Feel free to Google them if you wan to learn more.)

@mangopdf chocolate pie, or cheese cake. I stumbled upon your site randomly, it was fun, and dessert is delicious.

Oh, friggin' sweet bro! @Wikipedia now is yet another site that pretends you're on fucking mobile/tablet no matter how wide your screen is. That's not all, it gets even better!! When you open menu, magically more useless whitespace knocking the content over. Great work guys! #DUR

Makin' progress... (hey @InternalLoss 👋)

I wish @Walmart provided a way to disable "delivery from store" on shipping items, because nearly every time we've had our items stolen by the drivers. Fedex takes longer, but at least it arrives. Guess we're switching to @Target for essentials. Tired of filing for refunds.

@ox They're alive and breathing. escargot.chat

@SociableBarely I saw your Sphinx video, I saw it when it first aired and also noticed over the years no one spoke about it. It's discussed in some detail in the Jul 11 '96 Coast to Coast episode with Graham Hancock (who is a quack anyway, but still interesting). I have an mp3.

"Made In" has got to be one of the most incomprehensibly stupid fucking names for a company I've ever seen. Might as well call a software company "Developed By". I can't wait until they go out of business; buy any cookware so long as it isn't theirs. #food #commercials #cooking

@robin_warder @TraceEvPod Are you suggesting I would listen to anyone except you, and that I'd listen to his podcast, ever? Because yes I do and you're probably right.

@TonyShowoff Ah, I know that @TraceEvPod covered this case, so I wondered if that's where you heard it.

@robin_warder Didn't you cover an early/mid 20th century case where a woman was murdered, cigarettes put out on her floor, perhaps also she was found halfway in her bathtub? If so, which story was this? I can't find it. Please help :O

@robin_warder I managed to find it, you didn't seem to cover it, I think you're right, based on the details about the bathtub I mixed it up with the Walker family murders. I must have read this article on the same day I listened to that episode. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgette…

@TonyShowoff Sorry, drawing a complete blank on what else it could be. Not recalling the detail about the cigarettes from any other case.

@SciBry From Reddit:

@robin_warder Must be that pesky Mandela Effect again, couldn't possibly be me being totally mistaken, as I am never wrong and my memory is flawless ;-) Thanks for responding though, maybe one day I'll figure it out

@robin_warder Unfortunately that's not it, the mean identifying details was that it was a lone woman and that the killer put out cigarettes on the hardwood floor of her living room, though I may be misremembering the bathtub part. Surprisingly, trying to google about this is quite difficult.

@TonyShowoff You might be thinking of Episode 154, the Walker Family Murders, which had cigarettes at the crime scene and a bathtub and it took place in 1959.
