Give FlowLauncher[0] or Windows Powertoys Run[1] a shot.
There are some amazing tools like that (and Everything[2], which replaces Windows' inferior search) that really change how one interacts with Windows.
There are other tricks like putting scripts or shortcuts or executables in a directory referenced by your PATH variable, which can make the Win+R trick better too.
Ah, that's a bummer. I found it invaluable in conjunction ordering from a warehouse type store like Costco, followed by batch cooking and refrigerating or freezing things so I have low effort meals throughout the week.
Also, sheet pan meals are an incredibly low effort way to eat pretty healthy.
Stuart McGill recommends periodically standing and stretching your arms over your head a couple times. You can see the motion demonstrated here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bcbuhePZZj0&t=459s
He also recommended doing the cat-cow from yoga, and there's a set of exercises referred to as the McGill big 3.
I've seen some positive references to the McKenzie method book, Treat Your Own Back. I haven't tried it specifically, but had good luck with their equivalent book for neck treatment.
Time Warner didn't respect the choice to not disclose a reason. They went in circles a few times, instead of dropping the question and advancing the script.
Facinsating, although I empathize. I assume peaceful resistance of politely reiterating the reason is private would require them to yield eventually? If not, seems like it’d make for a great audio clip for some morning news show.
It's likely on a per-callcentre and per-agent basis.
Remember the agent is often required to record your disposition at the end of every contact, they can face consequences if they misuse buttons like "Answering Machine" and "Hang Up". So if they get ahold of you, they really want to get a reason out of you.
There's enough animosity out there to spread around between AMP and other centralizing forces. Calling one out doesn't implicitly give the others a pass.
Facebook (especially Instant Articles and video rehosting[0]) is awful for very similar reasons.
What's pernicious about AMP & co. is seizure of control and immense abuse potential that comes with preventing visitors from hitting content creators' domains.
> The major one is that instead of manually checking pages one at a time, Checkbot lets you easily test 1,000s of pages in a few minutes to root out issues you'd normally miss.
ScreamingFrog does this too, but it's still nice that your work is out there to add to the suite.
Might also be worth segmenting URLs with query parameters in them into a low priority batch to check later (or skip).
(E.g., when spidering a WordPress site, the crawler wastes time on .../article/?replytocom=* URLs. URL filtering solves this, somewhat, but it might require multiple passes to identify all of the problematic query strings.)
