I don’t really like dive bars, but I am always sad when one closes.

“I don’t really like dive bars, but I am always sad when one closes.”

What a silly attitude.

BTW, if you want to read this article without getting the “you have read your 5 free articles for this month” popup, delete “?piano_d=1” from the link above and paste into your browser.

Just removed that extra bit of code from the link. I assume it was leftover from the original site feed that linked to the article.

Cookie-based paywalls can also easily be worked around with Incognito Mode (Chrome), Private Window (Firefox) or Private Browsing (Safari).
