Same here.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

YES! I have been noticing too many websites that do this. Similar to this are websites that load but then put a login dialog on top. A lot of news websites used to do this before Trump got into office - I guess they figure that if it is important for conventional news organizations to get the word out, they shouldn't be denying access to the casual (or cheap in my case  ) visitor. BTW, I have figured out that the way to avoid this dialog to time hitting the stop tool button just right so that the page loads but not the dialog; I was getting really good at doing this against the Washington Post & Los Angeles Times before they removed it.

I rarely use CP at home and at work I have tghe best AdBlock ever: no access to anything outside a few approved domains. I wasn't even aware CP had ads... now I feel like a thief.

It couldn't happen to a less internet friendly government. USA for example. So far anyway. I hope it was Anonymous.

I'm turning 30 this year, time to act my age.
So, I'm leaving on an elderly cruise in Germany tomorrow 
Vacation with my parents and grandparents.
We did this last year as well, because it's the only way to get my grandpa to come on a vacation (he likes boats) and my grandma wants to go on a vacation, but she doesn't want to leave grandpa at home alone anymore.
And last year was a tremendous success!
Before we went my grandparents were like "we're too old for this and this will be our last vacation", but since we came back it's all they've been talking about and they couldn't wait to go again this year
My grandma and me have always been travelling buddies ever since I was little, so it wouldn't feel right to not go with her now.
The youngest person on the ship after me will be twice my age, but the three meals a day are good so whatever
Bingo, Yahtzee, bus trip excursions, here I come!

30... wow ... hard to remember that time!
Enjoy every single moment!
My big "5" is coming dangerously close... Will celeb in Vegas in a few years. At the WSOP. I already won way more than the the buy-in in my poker-career, so the money is there, and on my 50th I will just go to the counter, slap the money on the table and tell 'em "count me in!"
Yeah... my big showdown 
Enjoy your trip - at least every 10 years a big one has to be! Good thing and happy birthday

That sounds great for your grandparents and you too.
I hope you have a good time, whippersnapper!

Sounds like fun! I took my first cruise (western Caribbean) a little over two months ago. It was by far the most relaxing week I've had in years...due to the sweet fact that I didn't receive one email, text message, or even a phone call for almost a week!
Enjoy yourself and enjoy the company of your family! Bon voyage!

I envy your relations with your grandparents - the best of mine offered money to my mother to have an abortion and get away from my father when she was pregnant with me.

Good morning!
Maybe some of you remember my story: Working with professional artists[^]
Well... today is the day! In roughly 14 hours I will sit on-stage behind a drum kit and I will have to play live-on-stage a song together with the band!
I am so damned nervous... couldn't sleep well, trained the song over and over and over again... I am close to the point that "I can't hear it anymore! Arrghh"
All my friends, family and even lots of my colleagues at work will be there tonight... oh man... if I crush this... I'll dig a hole and jump in!
Luckily it's a rather small gig, not really a pure "friends&family" show but we are not on an open air stage, we play in a club/bar tonight, so the amount of people is limited. At least there will not be ten thousands of people watching me fail
I will post the video tomorrow if that's ok and then I'll also post the link to the app so you can take a look at the work the band and I did together.
For now, I have two things that I want to ask and tell:
First, what would you do? Imagine you are in my situation. You are about to do one of those once-in-a-lifetime things and you know, lots of people will be watching. What's your "Plan B", if something goes wrong? I mean... I really don't want to break the song but especially when drumming and you are over-nervous, your perception changes, time has a different speed, you see some things in slomo... and "time" is EVERYTHING behind the drums... The guitarist told me, his best trick right before a gig is a beer 1 hour before they start, a second beer 45 minutes before, a third 30 minutes before... well I guess you see the algorithm... I think I will trust him and I will use the same trick
Second, more important:
The band and I have a problem. I can "only" do Android Apps. I don't own a Mac and probably never will, I never had an iPhone but there still plenty iPhone users out there.
We are looking for someone (preferrably in Central Europe, but today on this planet, physical location doesn't matter that much) who would like to join us and port the App to iOS.
But I want to make one thing clear: There is no money involved. It is a Fan-Project, I did it for free for the Band because I damned LOVE their music, and anyone who ports this to iOS will do it for free, for the fun of it too. Are you someone who would be interested in that project?
Android is live, so there are no surprises, a quite simple server-file-format for the content files, the app is a more-or-less-sophisticated parser for content files, plays youtube-videos, shows lyrics.
It's not a technical nightmare, it's straight forward. I can give extensive docs about the format, and this should be possible in a short time (prob less than 100 hrs) in your free time.
Anyone interested to be part of a Fan Project? Your skills should cover: Async web requests, embed youtube videos, background checks (once a day) for new content, show notification.
You need to have an active developer account with apple and you will/may/must publish the app under your account/your name. THE APP IS YOURS AND STAYS YOURS. No Ads allowed. This is a free-fan-app with no monetarization background.
Your benefits would definitely be that you will meet the band (if you are luckily located in Vienna, Austria, Central Europe, Planet Earth, Milky way ) and join them in the studio, maybe even play along with them if you know how to play an instrument or if you can sing. Oh, and if you speak German, at least a little bit, it would help too 
Leave me a reply if you are interested.
Cheers,
Mike

Might be worth a post here as well: Collaboration / Beta Testing Discussion Boards[^] - it doesn't move as fast as the lounge, which will page this out of sight in a day.
(I can't help: I know sod-all about iOS except it's an annoying OS to use if you are familiar with any other one...)
