Def used Mullvad on desktop, not on mobile. Thanks for the heads up on Aha’s Blitz. I’ve tried NextDNS and Control-D. Will gladly give this a shot.

I’m trying Adblock Pro now and it’s working really well, with no impact. I’d tried Wipr years ago but it didn’t work well at the time. Maybe I’ll give that another try.

Interesting. I had the same setup and didn’t really notice much benefit so I canceled NextDNS and stuck with the AG Home.

That said, removing AG from my phone (or disabling the extensions) immediately sped things - it’s an entirely different experience. I tried a different adblocker now and it hasn’t impacted speeds at all so I’m inclined to believe it’s something with how I set up AG on my device.

I’m with OP. Safari on iOS has been brutally slow lately, which is weird. But it seems to only be the case when I enable the AdGuard extensions. Unfortunately, I still need an on-device blocker to catch what Pi-hole can’t.

A DuckGuy with experience and wisdom!

Play ST: Resurgence and you’ll have yet another possibility!

One is his name. And the other is not.

I knew I hated Pulaski from that moment on.

S5E7: Infinite Regress.

Here’s a clip.

Yes! Great example and another of my favorite episodes that show her talent.

For all the sex appeal she was supposed to add to the show, she really is an extraordinary actress and a fascinating character.

The episode where she shifts between all the species the Borg have assimilated shows her exceptional range.

Careful with that or you could wind up an intergalactic salamander!

Computer! Deactivate emergency medical hologram. I have to realign his matrix again.

RIP Aaron Eisenberg. I would’ve instantly jumped on a cameo or series with him.

For an initially shallow and annoying character, Nog had one of the best character arcs in ST.

Steve Jobs is seething right now…

I know they won’t but I feel this is one product Apple should offer a simple swap program for users that recently purchased the AirPods Pro 2. It’s not a big deal now, and may never really be, but it does feel like a real F-U to Pro 2 owners.

Don’t walk. Run!

I wish I had cool (uncool?) neighbors like that. Mine just never trim their encroaching hedges, and generally seem friendly but slightly ominous - like cardassians or romulans, come to think of it.

I can’t tell how serious you are but I love the DS9 analogy.

This would obviously be where Jeffrey Combs lives.

I came for the meme but I stayed for the comments. Y’all 4 are the MVPs.
