Had I seen someone do that to my car, I would immediately assault them and there’s a 99% chance they, not me, would end up in jail and fined for damages.
Sorry to everyone in a blue state.

it still works for me. there is a thread on reddit about how to try to fix it from the ublock team. what i gather, reset to factory defaults and update filters. seems to be a back and forth fight with youtube

lived in 2 places that had popular live music clubs shut down when someone moved in and sued. one of them was mostly acoustic and been there for like 50 years.

Just got back from my sister's wedding in middle America. Her and her husband are both military aviators and all of their friends are too. I spent half a day drinking with a bunch of line-dancing bridesmaids that want to bomb Chinese carriers and think the CIA planned the Ukraine war. Then I get home and my girlfriend is mad at me because I don't appreciate New York's housing policies or something.

Going to try to explain this because I'm not entirely how or FUCKING why it happens but here we go...
My wife, Karen, yes, that's really her name and yes I relentlessly make fun of her for it. Anyway, she has type 2 diabetes that she got with her 3rd kid.
She's currently in the ICU after violently throwing up blood and pissing all over self as her body started shutting down.
This happened within hours of taking her new medicine that she injects once a week.
I'm almost 100% positive this medication is what almost killed her because THE FUCKING INSURANCE OVER WROTE THE DOCTOR and said she needed to be on this cheaper shit.
How in the actual fuck are insurance companies allowed to override a doctor? Not only override the doctors prescription but he (doctor) also can't do anything about that.... what the fucking fuck?!?

Don't use insurance, pay out of pocket for whatever medicine you want or they will control it and you have no say.

Sorry remember that contract you didn't sign because you're effectively required to sign up to whatever trash your employer offers??

What was the medication she was supposed to be on and what did they give her as a generic?
Much as it pisses me off, this. Had a few times where I needed a CT done, insurance went "Nope, need to go through these other things first" so I wound up asking the clinic what it would cost out of pocket and got back "Hundred bucks?", here you go, CT that day.
Insurance companies should be downsized by roughly 90% and streamlined into actual functioning useful things

Is she using Ozempic because she actually needs it for diabetes or is she using it as the fabulous weight loss side effect? I ask because Oze and its knock-offs cause some serious vomit issues. Riomet/Metformin are diabetes drugs so I am assuming this is the reason? They do have an interaction warning if she is Type 1 diabetes and not type 2.
"Ozempic and metformin are only to be used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. They cannot be used for Type 1 diabetes. Metformin should not be used in patients with metabolic acidosis."

Riomet is just the brand name for metformin. Unless it was a weird batch or some kind of janky generic that isn't actually metformin, I'd look for another cause.
As pointed out though Ozempic is known to cause nausea issues so I'd look at that. She's on quite a cocktail of diabetes drugs so I'd hit your endocrinologist back.
