UBlock Origin works for me in Firefox, but the last time YouTube was at war with adblockers I had to retore default settings in uBlock every few days.

I can't remember the process but I think I had to reset the settings and do something with the lists.

You can also try a desktop app like Freetube. There is no algorithm through, if you are looking for that. It sometimes breaks when YouTube makes changes and everything is stored locally, so you have to back up your subscriptions if you plan on reinstalling Windows at some stage.

See if you can default uBlock Origin, that method worked before.

I don't think I had seen a Wes Anderson movie until about 3 years ago when I watched one with friends.

It was 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou', and my reaction to it prompted a friend of a friend to suggest that maybe I should watch more of his movies.

Now, I am no fan of certain directors or produces and know/recognise their work. I just like a movie because I like the movie.

So I cannot say if this is a good one to start off with or how good it is compared to other works of his.

Edit:

Wait, I lie.

I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel a few years before The Life Aquatic and I enjoyed that one as well.

I didn't realise that was one of his as well, but I had a hunch and looked it up.

Some of their art seems to have a signature, some not.

I once worked with an engineer from Glasgow and I had him at our logistics depot in London so I could do some training with him.

Somehow, no idea, but he just wandered off and found the one other person from Glasgow in the whole building. Turns out they were even from the same area.

Sniffed him out. Came back to me with a smile on his face and said it was great being able to speak to someone without having to put on an accent just so they could understand him.

Bonus story.

Him and I were walking to the store to get some lunch and he was telling me about all the London stereotypes he heard of and he mentioned rats. Rats everywhere.

I told him I've never seen one, but I have seen a few mice here and there running around on the tracks in the central London tube stations and just a few seconds later, this bloody fat rat ran across the path in front of us and into a bush.

THERE THERE, SEE! THERE! he yells.

Dammit... of all the times I see a rat in London it had to be with him.

A small rug I guess, just a square piece of carpet that I couldn't bring myself to call a rug.

This was in her bedroom, and it looked like the regular snail or slug slime trail.

If you had seen it in person, you'd have known.

My guess is it got in through the window and was never able to find its way out and probably hid somewhere in her room during the day, coming out at night to uh... feast on... no idea.

It's probably like a fly, can find its way into houses and things but not get out. It probably found a way onto the mat through the least resistance and then didn't find a way back out by the time I found it.

Years ago I had a housemate and she told me that every night, a slug would leave a trail on her bedroom mat and this was going on for years. She could never find it or catch it.

She went away for a week or so for work so I poured some salt on her mat.

Next morning I go look and I find the slug stuck in the middle of the mat unable to escape.

Took a photo of it, tossed it out into the garden and vacuumed the mat.

Showed her the photo when she returned and told her what I had done. She was so relieved that the phantom slug had been dealt with.

My guest mug is my face photoshopped onto some buff dude dressed up as a unicorn.

I don't, but my coffee mug does.

First thing I thought as well, there are a lot of issues in the photo.

Not even sure what that thing is on the floor to the left, the letters look wrong and so do the buttons and stove knobs.
