Unfortunately, I can't ban someone for being useless or stupid.

Sure you can.. 

As my mother (a retired English teacher) would say, "He can, but he may not."

Sure he may.  Who's refusing to allow him?

Self restraint, so essentially himself.  Maybe Alex also, but he always struck me as being very hands off.

As someone who mods elsewhere, it's definitely a thing. Being stupid isn't against the rules. We often privately wish certain people would actually do something against the rules to warrant being banned, but just being an idiot isn't enough.

Don't be a douche and don't argue with admins/mods will keep you safe in 99% of online communities.

If you put certain font-type names into Google (Times New Roman, Arial, Georgia), the search results will come out in that font. Not all, as some like Chiller and Wingdings did nothing.

Some people have developed cult followings tweeting out scanner audio for largely political purposes.

Quinn Ewers is owed a massive apology. Far better QB than he was ever given credit for, all because the guy who wasn't good enough to take his job has a cool last name.

Computer popups that want me to upgrade or change something or another, but the only options are [UPGRADE NOW] or [REMIND ME LATER].  But the option I really want is [NEVER, SO DON'T ASK ME AGAIN].

Won't you think of the dollars, though? If you answer something so callously and with such finality as "Never, don't ask me again", it makes the dollars sad. What if you really do mean never?

Won't you think of the dollars, in their time of need? Their time of needing more dollars?

Still useful for railroad and NASCAR fans.

I have a scanner for railfanning as well, in fact. Recorded plenty of defect detectors on it over the years, among other things.

I know some siren enthusiasts also use scanners to listen to the activation tones for sirens, especially ones controlled via radio.

Probably a lot but that is way too exacting of a topic to keep track of for me.  Baseline Road in Phoenix comes to mind as being something significant given I drove the whole thing, and it happens to be very lengthy.

More than one and fewer than a million.
