Do you have a context-menu altering addon, like that allows you to configure your context menu? Something like that may list all possible menus like that. idk.

Broke my collar bone on the second run yesterday. Bluebird skies, 50 degrees. Got a sling and kept riding for the rest of the day. Now they're telling me no athletics for months. :(
Just not removing this.

Sounds like ouch, Jordan.

I finally set up a football game with people from church, and it got rained out.

Walking three miles in flip flops at 10pm after a long day isn't exactly a fun experience.

Out of curiosity, how much could inline ads actually make? Since they have to go through all the content on each page request, wouldn't that just dramatically increase bandwidth? Contributing to the problem?

I'm not protesting its use, but I do notice that the site is transferring data from x about 12 times longer than it does when I turn adblock back on.

This isn't for Sourceguy really, anyone's input who could give me an idea.

The bandwidth is used on the advertising agency's side, the ads aren't hosted on HM.

Still debating whether I enjoy the lack of a filter or not. I think it should've been kept, but some words shouldn't've been filtered, anyway.

Some of the inline ads are showing up with a single underline, instead of what I believed was supposed to be two. Not sure if that was the situation when they were implemented, but now I can't tell if a link is actually a link, or if it's just more of the same crap that I ignore.

I hate how people got so worked up when Obama commented that he bowls like the Special Olympics. NBC had the chairman of the Special Olympics on to whine about it. Obama had to formally apologize.

Get over it, people.

As a photographer with my city's local Special Olympics chapter, I have to say: They're not that bad at all.

Came so close to getting the Untouchables achievement in Left 4 Dead earlier, but one of our guys got jumped by a hunter during the last dash to the escape boat. :(

We were on expert too, that would have been awesome...
