Pet Peeves

[101_North]

I bought a lifetime license to Adguard and it's been life changing on my Android but there's an IOS version too. No ads, cuts out tracking, can change your DNS servers easily and all for the cost of a few beers! Also means you are free to keep using the browser and apps you like rather than having to switch to an alternative because of ads. Highly recommended

Use the code SOLOPLAN at checkout and it works out at about €10

Lately it seems there's been ads that cover half the screen on your phone, but also don't have an option to 'x' them out. Not even a hidden one anywhere. I rarely use the ad blocking browser because I'm so entwined with Google now (another pet peeve), but I'm going to have to start using it now.

I use Brave browser and it blocks almost all of that shit, wouldn't go without it.

Started using brave for watching anything on the phone and it is indeed a master job

Yeah it even blocks most of the ads if you open a YouTube video on it. Good sauce.

It also forces a mostly correct dark mode on most websites if you instruct it to too.

Got all 4 wisdom teeth out earlier today. Currently feel like I've been kicked in the head. Hard on the wallet too so double boo

I prescribe copious amounts of ice cream.

I've just eaten an entire trifle

2 or 3 days off and a bottle of whiskey.

Sounds like a Pantera song.

A day of trying to record new stuff and everything I touched turned to shit... I need to practice more I think

When I sit down with the guitar, I love how my fingers will naturally start off playing something stock  usually I have to nab the 12 string acoustic instead for better results funnily enough, I put it down to the sound but probably a placebo effect

Ah it all went to shit today for me. A few decent riffs came out but everything else was a mess. Usually after a real bogey one I'll get some good results. Fingers crossed.

This was me for a few weeks, nothing hit the spot and everything was going in the bin.  No interest to work on old stuff.  Just clocked one evening with those two new tunes so I didn't force it much and just worked those to finish over a few evenings.  It's bum when nothing sticks though.

I went back to it this evening, revised my approach and ended up with the guts of a song. Sometimes you have to slog through those shit sessions to get to something good

I haven't been able to get anything going tune wise in about 3 years now. Just can't get over it. Need to pick up the bass and start again
