    it really makes a difference in what kind of space heater you are using. Mine are thermostat controled infrared with fans. They cycle on and off to a set temperature. If I am not going to be in the room I set the temp to 60°F so the room isn't comfortable warm but it isn't cold either. I keep them set to 70° when I am in the room and the cycle on and off automatically as needed to keep the temperature fairly level. I've been using them like this for the past several years and the highest bill I have had here in the winter was around $75. We seem to have the cheapest power in the state right now. I only heat my bedroom when I am in it and I only heat my office area when I am in there working. Same thing for the livingroom. The heater in the livingroom will cover the livingroom, dining area, kitchen and bathroom nicely.

    I was thinking that when he was asking what VPN she used as you would be able to know vulns with that information but I didn't say anything.

    I try and hope people don't have malicious intent behind their actions when I can.

    Type definitely matters. We bought something cheap because the nights were getting down in the 30's but the days were still around 60. But my house is block, so once it gets cold, it stays that way and my kids were whining that they were cold.

    Admin edit: if at some point user uploads anything that can't easily be read through I'll look into this, but as it stands TM scripts are about as transparent as you can get in the world and this is just unnecessary crap flinging, especially with the unreliability of online virus scans (they very frequently throw false-positives and mis-identify certain functions that mimic what malicious content does but are in no way actually malicious.

    Everything about this is against the spirit of "no witchhunts" - if you have more substantial proof DM it to me, but this is paper thin at best.

    @ChrisTurk VirusTotal is a subsidiary of Google so it is reliable, and they used over 45 engines to scan his script (the reason for this is to avoid fase positives) so eight positives is alot (it could be considered false maybe if only 1 positive)

    edit: and a year later Symantec classified it as a security risk, they're a pretty reputable security firm

    I'm flattered. If I didn't know any better I'd say you have a little man crush on me. Lets tackle this post.

    You obviously don't know how the autoit compiler works. https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/AutoIt_and_Malware here is some light reading for you since you seem to have a ton of time. They were redacted since there isn't an actual way to delete an account on there, so that was the next best thing. Crawl through the rest of those threads and you'll find independent users who decompiled and recompiled it and ran a new virus total on it with no issue.

    Dashboard, does this not go against what you said earlier about disabling scripts? Having them run under 1 script and not calling 6 should be something you advocate since you value you milliseconds so much. Biggest benefit is that its easier to manage userscripts in Tampermonkey when you can cut down on how many you have installed by 600%.

    A9, looks like mine is one of the first one made so where is your argument there?

    ProductRNR, this is old so I had to open up the code to check it out. Looks mostly like defaulting selections (no one is original in this facet.) I recall 0 RnR scripts (or any other mturk scripts) that used an on error function, so please link that to me.

    Captcha Clear, ooo a keybind to open a window, sue me.

    Another cool thing about the userscripts that you are so weary about, if you actually knew javascript you could tell they are non malicious. There are a few people here who do know javascript and I'm sure at least one of them would be glad to dedicate a bit of their valuable time to educate you so you don't come off as an idiot next time you post.
