Pretty interesting stuff. Gov auctions off a bunch of random stuff from a warehouse on Hawthorne.

This has been a thing for over 50 years across the country. I scored an escalade for next to nothing back in 2019. I just had to clean up the excess contraband tobacco all over the carpet and then it was good to go.

Just before car/truck prices went full apocalypse. Good score.

Also. Does anyone know offhand a spot close to Paul Anka/McCarthy opening early Sunday? I know there is Riverside pub, Royal Oak and obviously Moose across the street which are handy locations. I could call around to see if open but if anyone knows I would appreciate a heads up.

I wish to complain about the pop-up ads on this site suddenly replacing the typing window resulting in accidental entering ad websites with no obvious exit back to the typing window. This has become particularly intrusive in the last few days.

I've had that problem for a few months. Annoying too when trying to navigate through different sections.

I'll see if I can ask someone about that.

Are you not using an ad/popup blocker? The uBlock extension/plugin works great for me in Firefox or Chrome... I never see ads while browsing.

I've had problems with the website harassing me when I use pop-up blockers, or even not letting me in.

I don't mind some ads to help fund the website, but this is too much.

I use my phone now. I have given up using my computer to work with this website.

Hmm.. thats funny. Using Google I cannot exit the you are using an ad blocker message whether or not I make an exception.

So I use Firefox to browse here, stream hockey games and torrenting. My VPN is tied to Firefox and everything works on for me.

Feel free to DM me if you want a great site for hockey.
