the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

The larger email service providers (Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, etc) these days provide the ability to add additional email addresses (aliases) to an account. Just create a few, hand those out, and then when things get annoying simply delete the alias.
I consider aliases "fire and forget" . . . I give the address out . . . Then I never even go back and look . . ..
 
I like this tangent...

There was some sci-fi movie or series where the rough plot was that for 24 hours each year, there were no laws. Never watched it, seemed goofy violent.

But...imagine if advertising and marketing were only legal for 24 hours each year. Just one day. Violate it, and your company is sold off at auction. I'm sure some people would wait in anticipation just to see what wonderful and creative things they'd see during that time. And some people, like me, would get 24 hours of naps, bbq, and having every electronic device they own off.
 
If you sign up for a DuckDuckGo account, they'll generate one-off email addresses for you to use for various businesses. They also strip trackers out of emails and do a bunch of other privacy-related stuff. Might be worth looking into the more privacy concerned folks out here.
 
If I ever lose my medical, this will be next on the list:
Thanks for being selfish and not posting an actual link to the for-sale ad. I'll give you the right of first refusal when my wife finds out about it, which is hopefully long enough down the road that you will have lost your medical and I will be able to say "The tank? Honey, we've always had that tank!" with a straight face.
