I tried to test that by doing several searches for "Victoria Secret" but so far no luck.

Jim, there are two people from HR to see you, it's about your computer ….

Does that mean I will see FB ads for men in lingerie based on my post upthread?

That's as clear a connection to "men in lingerie" as you can get.

Is The Omaha Beef a nightclub a bit like The Blue Oyster Bar in the Police Academy series of films?

Could very well be. I was thinking along the lines of an Omaha Beefcake wearing something (un)comfortable. I assumed Steve followed the link and can fill us in.

I just used Edge to go to PF. So, did not log in automatically as I do with Chrome.

And, I have adverts! Flipping between a few pages and the adverts were:
Tesla Powerwall.
Cruise ship holidays.
Dyson vacuum cleaners.
Bicycle crank power meters.

Now, this is somewhat interesting. I have recently read up about bicycle power meters but I have not looked for cruises, vacuum cleaners or Tesla powerwall systems.
Still, can't complain. At least I'm not being offered lingerie.

Probably because there's cross-over on all those categories - i.e. people looking for vacuum cleaners often look for cruises and those people look for bicycle power meters.

Well, I use Edge and Adblocker --> no adverts.

I will probably regret admitting to this when the "Your using an Adblocker - please stop" pop ups start. To those of you other adblocker users out there, Sorry.

I only tried Edge to see what adverts I would get. On Chrome (my usually preferred browser) I see no adverts at all. Thanks to Adblocker etc.
