1. Family and support systems are here, not Europe. 2. Cost. I do not thing you understand how unfathomably expensive it would be to move from North America to Europe. Heck moving around the States can be extremely expensive already. 3. Unf

I'd be open to it, but at this point it would highly depend on location and relocation package.

1. Yes, twice. 1a. My first job laid me off after 10 months, the CEO decided to relocate the company to the Caribbean for a tax break/shelter, which required hiring 70% local people. As the core company was small, the only people retai

You could do few things to mitigate this issue. 1. install larger fans on to the radiator. 2. use a big shop fan to blow air over the radiator. 3. remove the mechanical thermostat on the engine, so that it takes longer to get to operating t

Apple has ran out of design gas. But to be honest even in the late Jobs/Ive years they were running on fumes with 'thin' being the last hill to climb. I really wish Apple would try a different design aesthetic, such as a move

This misses two of the most important types: homemade on a baking sheet using dough from the box mix or tube, and frozen pizza. Both types aren’t represented in restaurants but are widely consumed across America.

Yeah that is a complex issue due in part to dems and liberals not having a real presence in rural communities. It's easy to blame the rich and urban when your community is broke and you see all the "help" going to the big ric

I don't buy that, not all rural people are moronic hicks or hillbillies. Opportunity has often been their biggest hurdle. While most are just as smart as you or me, the chances for them to get a "proper" education and out of

College football was once more popular and made more money than the NFL. If it wasn't for the absolute mismanagement by the NCAA, Disney/ESPN, and various big money stakeholders College Football would still be more popular and mak

Ah the age old “F- you, I’ve got mine”. Twice in my career had the insurance plan swept out from under me. Both times my decent, but not great PPO was replaced with HSA only options. Forcing me to change jobs. Personality, I’d rather not ha

One issue that sticks out to me is that 20 years ago it was hard to get Ruby and Rails installed on a Windows XP System. While the friction of installation isn't the sole reason why Ruby isn't as popular as Python, it did leave a

Here in South Texas the biggest difference I’ve seen in the past 40 years is people getting acclimated to the AC. It seems like too many people think you can only be comfortable inside when it’s 70F, and claim they can’t sleep unless it’s c

It’s a good place to start, but while it helps, it doesn’t solve the problem, and good luck getting HOAs to approve it.

Sanitation, plenty of people handle the outsides of cups after they are washed before you drink from it. If you have a compromised immune system, straws are important part of staying healthy.

I do use containers on my main profile. Containers are for separating websites from one another, while profiles are for separating browser bits from one another. This includes settings, plugins, extensions, themes, bookmarks, snippets, pass

Eh... just from reading this comments section and the way people would want to use profiles (instead of containers), I'm ok with the feature being obfuscated.

That's a good call on Windows systems, or -new-instance depending on usage. In my linux setup, I removed the -no-remote option for some forgotten reason.

You can directly launch a firefox profile with "firefox -p 'profile-name'" This will create a separate firefox instance running with that profile. It's not as nice as having a button in firefox to accomplish this, b

I use container tabs in my main profile as well, as like you, I'd have too many profiles if I didn't. My profile use is about big concerns and work modes. For example my work profile has some developer plugins, separate password m

My Profiles tips: 1. You can have multiple profile sessions running at the same time. 2. It is best to theme your alt profiles with a different color so you don't confuse them. For example, green one is for one profile and the red one

This Firefox user does. Main account, one for testing (no extensions installed), one for work (with work extensions), one for nsfw content. Keeps everything nice a separate.

I’m not a fan of b&w colorization. Often the colors are wrong, either outright color errors (like choices for clothing or cars) or often not taking in to account lighting conditions (late in day shadows but midday brightness). Then ther

Unblockable ads, sites can serve you data that you can’t manipulate or copy, micropayments can exist, invasive surveillance. Surveillance is possibly the worst of the bunch. They say it’s just to do a better job of serving ads, but that’s o
