My very first penfriend was Betty Marie Jensen from a small place called Nibe, Denmark. I tried to find her on the internet, sent a letter to her old address. No luck. All I know is her name, old address and birthdate. I have her photos, but I don't want to publish them on the internet for her privacy. Is there any government agency besides postal service who can forward my letter to her?
Recently, I tried to revive this hobby. Unfortunately, IYS is closed now. I found a few good penpals on GlobalPenfriends.com Also tried several other websites like Interpals, Penpal World etc. but they are full of scammers.
My question is how do they detect that I am using a VPN and is there any workaround to access their site when I continue using VPN?
I changed the setting for widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override from 1 to 50 and it increased size.
The initial value of 1 was confusing me because I kept thinking it is Boolean 1.
Posting a solution here in case someone else finds it useful.
But I agree with your overall sentiment that the real estate market is a cartel.
What is the value proposition you are offering by charging 1% management fee?
for politicians, lawyers and tv evangelists because it gives me something to laugh at.
for the significant other who hogs the covers every night, because he/she is not out with someone else.
for the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching tv, because that means he/she is at home and not on the streets.
for the taxes that I pay, because it means that I am employed.
for the mess to clean after a party, because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.
for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.
for my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.
for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.
for all the complaining I hear about (legal abortions, the loss of the environment, the inefficient government, greedy corporations, etc.) because it means that we have freedom of speech.
for the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.
for my huge heating or cooling bill, because it means I am comfortable.
for the ugly fat lady behind me in church that sings way off key, because it means that I can hear and see.
for the huge pile of dirty laundry, because it means I have clothes to spare.
for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.
for the alarm that goes of in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive.
and finally.......for too much spam and advertising, because it means I have friends, family and spammers/advertisers who are thinking of me.
This prevents them from creating my profile and helps me protect my privacy. (I hope so).
I have made a concious decision that I would rather trust a VPN like Mullvad than my internet provider or websites.
I wished that there was some way (maybe an app on the phone) that will automatically control volume level at a set limit. The phones already have a way to measure decibals (sound meter app) and also a way to control audio receiver volume (remote control app). If we could combine these 2 in a single app, that will be great.
I can set the volume level in the app. It will monitor sound level say every 3 seconds. If it exceeds say 10%, then automatically reduce the volume. Someone, please build such an app. I will buy it or consider sponsorship/financial help. The loud commercials are driving me crazy. Thank you for listening to my request.
However, that should be last resort in my opinion. Based on my experience, people (especially IT staff) are reasonable if you explain the issue nicely. Remember, honey attracts more bees than vinegar.
