So much.
Random Rants 94 I rant at the thread title and shake my fist menacingly.

Hm. Nothing turned up for me. I've got multiple ad-blockers. When some of the channels I watch already have sponsor placements (only Shadiversity includes them in an entertaining way that doesn't detract from whatever his topic is), I'm not buying (no pun intended) this "think of the creators" litany.
I'm more concerned right now with the crap Google is pulling with searching for Canadian news sites and disallowing Canadian news on FB.

Indeed, Youtube should stop this greedy nonsense and realize there will be either a mass exodus from it or new software (legal or not) developed to still cancel the ads.
I haven't yet encountered any message, btw, so I suppose the "small experiment" is only run in some more populous countries (makes sense).

A couple of days ago someone revived a Dune conversation I was part of... from four years previously.
It was one of those cases of he'd misread my post, just had to scream at me about it, and while I was trying to find his entire post to point out his errors, I found some really interesting comments other people had made in the meantime - including a very nice compliment paid to me for raising the scope of the discussion beyond the current set of movies. They appreciated someone being able to speak knowledgeably about all six novels, plus the Dune Encyclopedia and explain why certain characters did certain things ('cause they're not explicitly spoonfed to the audience, not to mention why Villeneuve's way of writing Duke Leto's approach to parenting and the duties of a ducal heir is just so much BS).
There are some really excellent history-themed channels I don't want to give up. They're interesting and invaluable for fact-checking some of the things I've put into my stories (gotta rewrite that bit about the crossbow, as I really messed up on that).

Rant: mosquito bites. Summer is a silly season.
I have to keep reminding myself that mosquitoes are food for bats, and therefore serve some useful function in the food chain. Otherwise, I really wouldn't mind if they became extinct.
Fixed my garage door opener today (it wouldn't keep the door down and was smoking during use). Ancient thing that is not manufactured or supplied anymore. Absolute Pain ITA... Repair steps:
1. Researching to find out problem was a blown capacitor
2. Removing said capacitor from the unit, including minor electrical work
3. Researching where to find the exact match capacitor
4. Ordering capacitor
5. Installing replacement, including minor electrical work
6. (Still didn't work) Researching why
7. Removing broken bracket, which required socket wrenches
8. Removing and replacing up-force cam multiple times which involved going into my Dad's (RIP) old tools to find a socket wrench that fit
9. Removing and replacing down-force cam multiple times (which had popped of and was in a random corner of the garage looking like something that was important, but I had no idea what it was until I researched it.
Took a few hours (once the part arrived)... made me have to postpone dinner
But now that I think about it... Its fixed! That's rave-worthy... I'm doing it...

Don't forget, we have a whole thread for "What have you repaired lately?"
You* are of course welcome to post such material in the raves thread instead.
Good job, in any case.

What have you repaired lately?
To complement the threads on what you bought lately, and what projects you have. I'm thinking of the target of this thread being repairs that aren't necessarily the size of a whole project, but still restore something to proper working order. Cars, house projects, fixing slightly broken...

I HAVE MANY MERLIN STORIES TO READ!!!
They'd better be up and running by tomorrow. The newest chapter of "Wind Up All the Clocks" comes out on Tuesdays (a Harry Potter story in which Hermione marries Arthur Weasley; they're on holiday in Canada now to visit Arthur's brother in Saskatchewan, and the author plans to have them go to some of the places in Alberta I've been to).

Well, they went down because of a DDoS attack, actually...
