Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?

I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?

What the actual fuck

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…

You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)

I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…

    I question your ability as an engineer if you can’t understand how to shield something from static electricity. Hint: use non-conducive material to create an isolated ground that never makes contact with the gasoline, they’ve been doing it for all kinds of sensitive electronics for decades. This technique is also used to prevent your metal kitchen mixer from killing you if there’s a short.

    Am I “the expert” in this domain? No. Do I have plenty of exposure to it and other engineering disciplines to make a judgement call on the facts; absolutely.

      Watch out entire industry that’s been operating for more than a century, Dark Arc’s dad is an engineer and he has correctly interpreted the facts you can’t even seem to grasp.

      Quick, now do perpetual motion! Those simpletons have barely even tried.

      Not that this will mean anything to you, but this feels a lot like when someone says “why don’t we just run lean so we save fuel?”.

        🙄

        Thank you for your concern for my safety. I’m not interested.

        My advice to you is, if you’re worried about this, never get in a car again.
