<truth>It happened about a year ago when I was looking out the window, there was a chemical fire across the street which created an eerie haze outside. I also saw a partial reflection of my face in the window, oh there was a massacre outside as well. It's funny what the kind things happen when you're trying to come up with a user name.</truth>

It is pronounced wahoos pa. Most people think of it as wahoo spa. I got the username when I was setting up a yahoo account long ago. Every name I could think of was already in use. I did not want one with a bunch of numbers like [email protected]. Well as I was trying to decide a name my (now late) african grey came walking into the room and having the bird for over 23 years it dawned on me that she might consider me as her pop. So I came up with wahoospa.

improbus is latin for wicked...too bad I hit "i" instead of "u" when registering...lol

But you can change your screen name after registering to make it different from your registered username. And that is what will be shown when you post.

ya gotov = 'I am ready' in russian.

Hey, that's close to Bulgarian for 'I am ready': gotov sum. Gotov is the word for ready, of course.

Mine is an abbreviation of my religion Sikhism. If someone is apart of my religion you call them a "Sikh".

So, following that and 2-3 years back when I started doing more then gaming on computer and not changing aliases all the time, I thought it would fit if I used the one that fits me the best.

What can I say its simple and yeah expected lol. But its basically been my permanent name since that time and I love it.

Back in the mid 90's i was trying to figure out a name to use for an AOL account and sure enough on top of my fridge was a box of Frankenberry cereal.. I decided to use IE and not Y to cap it off. This name been with me ever since.

Mine is from the opening lines of The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents:

"One day, when he was naughty, Mr. Bunnsy looked over the hedge into Farmer Fred's field and saw it was full of fresh green lettuces. Mr. Bunnsy, however, was not full of lettuces. This did not seem fair"

I laughed so much that I just had to use the name.

    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
