  • I use DuckDuckGo for search, and it gives you the option to watch full YT videos without actually going to YouTube. I only watch videos that I’ve searched for - not ones that YT suggests to me, so this has been sufficient. Watching this way does not have ads (so far) but it does warn that YT can still use trackers.

    Other’s advice (plugins etc.) are probably better overall, but this is the simplest option for me. I haven’t felt the need to find a more robust solution, but that’s only because of how I use YouTube.

    Edit - when you click a DDG search result that is YT, this pops up:








  • The bacteria that causes Listeria is extremely resilient and can survive on surfaces for a long time. There’s one known case of it persisting for 10 years in a meat processing plant. It can survive in cold temperatures and even in salty and acidic environments.

    That means it could still be stuck to deli slicers, deli counters, deli fridges, people’s fridges, people’s counters, etc. And it spreads through not just Boar’s Head products directly, but through every product that came in contact with any equipment that came in contact with Boar’s Head products.

    This needed more than just a recall. It needed education for consumers and decontamination rules and instructions for delis and grocery stores, followed by thorough surface testing.

    I lucked out - the deli I use doesn’t sell any dirty Boar’s Head slop. If they did, I’d probably drop them permanently.
