Used to mean something else in the world of machinery and auto mechanics. Old school stuff. There is a screw that holds the distributor cap in place. A mechanic would loosen that screw and rotate the whole distributor cap very slightly, maybe 5° or so, the thing is round, so that's a really small portion of a circle. So one could turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to advance or retard the timing.

Just one of the many benefits of letting the companies that own the media report on themselves. Worst of men, worst of reasons, etc

But if you could that is absolutely the first thing that they would try, turn it off and then back on

I am waiting for someone to make a Pez dispenser with his head on it. But it only dispenses huge API charges and senseless threats.

I just plain quit using Reddit. But I am an old guy. I have walked a picket line. When negotiations fail then for the average person to have any leverage against a massive system then the cost to return with no spelled out terms must be infinitely high.

So now we know who Huffman wants to be when he grows up. Muskrat. And that wraps up the show for today folks. Time to pull the plug on Reddit.

These kind of unsolicited reports from users prove a really important point, and one that Spez and company would prefer to ignore. If you have good enough content people will pay for an ad-free experience.

I agree. I came over to check it out, like what I have found and I'm going to stay. Don't miss the ads and the bots, this is a pretty cool place. If it were possible to send some sort of larger message to the money people at reddit, great. If they still keep doing what they were already doing, whatever. I'm glad I found this place.
