When I took my driver's test, which was only 6 years ago, they had just implemented the road sign quiz during the test.  As you were driving, you'd pass a sign and the person would ask what sign you just passed.  They do it 3 times and I had no idea on any of them.  I just told the person to mark me wrong on all 3 after I missed the first one.  I aced everything else though lol

I knew what the course was going to be from a lot of friends who had taken the test so it went pretty smooth for me.

I LIKE 10.

I've been using it for a while now.  It had a few quirks for a bit, but seems to be great now.

Yeah it uses a lot of disk space but disabling the notifications in the settings helped settle things down there a lot

Apparently, this is going to be a cicada year in the mid-Atlantic (and surrounding states).  It was pretty horrible last time.  They weren't even useful as bait.

Lol, I tried them as bait also... No luck with them either

Fish wouldn't touch them.  Too bad because they were so easy to catch.

Exactly what I was thinking. Still waiting to catch my first rockfish of the year but it won't be long

Off topic but apparently websites like forbes that block users from using adblocker are seeing massive drops in traffic. It's going to be increasingly difficult to make money on the internet with advertising.

But if the dump thread is an off-topic thread, shouldn't football talk be encouraged because it's off-topic?

But if the thread itself is off-topic then shouldn't it be closed because things on this forum are kept on-topic?

Well that's because Forbes was a real jerk about it.  I would get the full-page splash ad, then after a few seconds it would inform me that I was using an adblocker and to disable it.  If I just clicked "continue" it would reload the full page ad again and tell me to disable my ad-blocker.  Repeat ad-nauseum until I either decided to disable the blocker, or just tell them to bugger off and close the tab instead.  I now refuse to go to to their site because no article is worth reading if they're going to just deny me content because I don't want to see their ads or risk being infected with malware because they aren't properly policing their ad networks.

Not necessarily.   North County of san diego isn't bad, you can actually have a yard and some garage space.   For a suitable place is about 250-300k imo
