Is this normal?

Yes it is normal

A picture of Greg’s new house says all you need to know

This 105,000-square-foot home has seven pools, a 50-car garage, a 10,000-bottle wine cellar, a nightclub, 20 bedrooms, including eight bedrooms for the staff and a three-bedroom guest house, 6 elevators, a library, cigar room, candy room, four-lane bowling alley, a 50-seat movie theater, a putting green, wellness center and gym, beauty salon, juice bar and tennis court.

The candy room concerns me.

Incorrect, this is the mentor's retreat mansion. I think I see @berkeman on the deck!

Although that is indeed where we hold our retreats, our actual working quarters are rather more spartan: a deeply buried blast-proof EMP-resistant bunker underneath Avengers Mansion.

Weird thing - I can't open this thread when I'm on my computer But I can on my phone.
EDIT: And something weird happened with the attachement I tried to save it as jpg file, but it didn't work out. Anyways, it's a screenshot from my computer.

I could not view this tread on Thursday, but could on Friday or today (Saturday).
All on same device.

A few others had access problems, too. I tracked it down to the "adverts" title repeated in the URL. I changed the thread title to "advertisements", that stops the issue for me at least.

The forum doesn't care what title is actually in the URL, as long as the thread ID is correct.

New nominal link to this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/advertisements.1007164/
Old link (still leading to the same thread): https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/adverts.1007164/

I still have that problem. Not that I really need to have an acces to that thread from my computer, it's just weird.

Mostly interested in visiting this topic, but not really to read this topic. Trying to post this too.
Done with ABP adblocker turned off..

 

[symbolipoint]

Strange - I cannot visit this topic if ABP is turned on. Could not post into it either.
I will post this one, and then turn ABP back on again.
