Lovely idea, well done you

Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 09:38:03 PM* *    Underneath all that writing,  are two boxes.  One says 'Reject and Pay'  and the other one says ' Accept All.'
I was using a Firefox browser at the time,  but have since tried with Chrome and its just the same.

Ah I see - yes that's just a pretty standard cookies acceptance thing because of an EU law. You may as well just accept because you'll just get tracked by your browser fingerprint instead of cookies if you Reject and Pay. - https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

I use a PiHole on my network that blocks all the tracking stuff and Brave browser with gives a randomised fingerprint and can block tracking cookies anyway. I don't see many ads and rarely get challenged about using ad blocking as mine isn't broswer based. The only ads I see are those published by the site themselves which rules out any tracking cookies anyway.

Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking.
Is your browser:
Blocking tracking ads?   Yes
Blocking invisible trackers?   Yes
Protecting you from fingerprinting?   ◕ your browser has a randomized fingerprint
Still wondering how fingerprinting works?

I can understand why the girls need to be wary but boys too? I that meant having your bits cut off in Sharia law.  Mind you didn't the scouts have to accept girls too or something? Perhaps the badge is for them?

Sunny,  but still on the cool side here.

I have just bathed and dried Liffey,  so she'll be ready for her haircut this afternoon.

This breed's coat is not like normal dog hair,  its more like a sheep's fleece when it is trimmed,  it's a big wad of wool,  all lovely and soft. 
So what I do, is keep it all in a carrier bag until early every spring each year,  then I fill a couple of those little wire 'cages'  they sell to put fat balls in for the wild birds.   I poke all the wool down until the cages are full,  and then hang them back outside again.
I always know when the birds are starting to nest,  because they come and take beak fulls of the wool to line their nests with.    They have been busy taking it already this year.

It's nice to hear a story of police actually helping someone instead of their day job.

Thanks Ashy,  that linked was no problem.  

Go on you lot just take the mick
Tell me I'm a silly dick
But don't sit there and frown
Just go and have a lie down

Morning All, Not too bad here this morning. Had my swim, did a few things in town, sat at the ocean for a bit and had my latte, now the washings on and I'm away to clean up and scud round with the hoover. 

It'll be -2 by the end of the week
Or so said the young weather geek
The snow and frost is to return
Can we afford oil and gas to burn?
Bugger its limericks - your forgiveness I seek

That's what comes of posting in bed
I mistook what was being said
It seemed to be about the cold
I guess I must be getting old
Just too easy to be mislead

Go on you lot just take the mick
Tell me I'm a silly dick
