re: barcodes and adblocking:

Some not insignificant portion of UPCs have results in Google shopping that don't show up in a Google search if you have an adblock running. E.g.,

vs.


This happens especially with items like clothes, which have size and color options so the websites don't directly display the UPC in plain text, but it's there in the source code and these shopping results are usually reliable.

So if you're working on these HITs, consider whitelisting Google on your adblock while you do them.

I turned it off when it was 4-0 in the top of the 7th.
Really surprised when I checked the news this morning.
Hinch fucked up when he pulled McCullers in the 7th. It was all hell after that point. Like a slow death

tell me how you've been enjoying the south park game if you get a chance to play it.
Got as far as choosing my second class last night but am planning on going full ham tonight



The fight against the two priests trying to have sex with you has been my favorite so far.

Is this something new? I feel like I've really only been seeing these for the last couple days, but they're becoming very annoying. They keep throwing me off because I'll get into a groove with a bunch of not founds in a row, then one of these pops up and I'll immediately close the tab, thinking it's also a not found. Then that thing on the side finally registers and I have to go back and look. >.<

It's been like this for at least the whole of the recent daily postings, as far as I know. I only saw it because I started using Opera for them, which doesn't block the ads. Back during the twice a week days, I used Chrome with ublock and never saw them.

Weird. I've always done them in Canary with no extensions or anything, so I've never had an adblocker. I feel like I've only been seeing them for the last couple days.
