What was the piece in firefox that was being retired when many add-ons no longer worked? Wasn't that xul?

That somehow reminded me of the "what if" article about stopping earth's rotation from one moment to another, except affecting the poles equally. It also has a taste of turning the landscape upside down, which sounds terrible

Famously, imgur gets it wrong. After 10 images you can click "load more images" to see the rest of the album, but when you return to the album you have to click it again.

Was wondering that and then told myself, come on, nobody would be that evil, the whole idea is nonsense. And you're suggesting there are websites out there that actually do that?

I don't get why Trump gets slammed by the media for talking to Kim Yong and walking back on Iran, or even trying to set up meetings with Taliban this month. Just because he's negociating doesn't mean negociating in itself is

> I'm confused by this article presenting populism as not democratic. Don't worry, the article and/or the underlying scripture appear to be confused about that, too.

IMHO the problem of populism is not as centrally a threat to democracy as the article states. The more central problem as it recently manifests is called "same images, different movies". People read about the same events in two pu

As commonly with stories like this, people will see the Bloomberg story and not see the correction issued by ProtonMail. The harm is done, and ProtonMail is likely going to miss out on subscriptions because of Bloomberg's irresponsible

Do you also get that sci-fi arch with a portal and some computer controls in your room if you say "Arch" out loud?

There is a rather intriguing BBC documentary "Do we really need the moon?" about the topic on YouTube. The argument being made was that the moon propelled the chemical clockworks to develop life in a time when the moon was much cl

No, wait. Just because someone thinks the world is flat, doesn't mean I have to disagree with them on most issues, except MAYBE on space exploration, and certain academic fields connected to it. Believing the earth was flat takes nothi

While I usually enjoy a good amount of fluff, I must say I, too, was underwhelmed by the amount of detail and/or substance reported. The formula makes no sense to me, and was apparently just thrown in in this form for a gag.

I'd find it funny if the US proved uncapable to hit the damn thing and Russia just throws a makeshift deflection apparatus at it that basically makes use of angular momentum for the task (Soyuz™ tech!) and just keeps burning itself to

Not that they didn't start out with throwing the entire existing theory out of the window. I'm no expert, but, in any discipline remotely aspiring to be a "science", I'd take it that would be that one glaring sign b

Urm, not to be nitpicking here, but I simply don't get the logic in this. Cannibalism itself isn't being resisted to by committing more cannibalism, because those who engage in it aren't those being eaten.
