I really appreciate the detailed tutorial and I will use this, but this is kind of illustrating the problem with Firefox. And yeah the Profiles are not automatically associated with Mozilla accounts, you have to setup each separately per pr

Green text bubble? Non starter for most under 30. I don’t have any social media apps, but hacker news and similar “social sites” are a problem. My screentime is insane at like 8 hrs a day, usually in a web browser. But I’ve had an internet

I think most users like having their sync setup automatically with their email, and most Chrome users have Gmail so it’s one simple step to sync. Firefox has a separate profile process that is cumbersome. And switching profiles is even wors

Yeah Gelles holds up Boeing as the poster child of Welch’s legacy. A place where engineers ruled, and then accountants… https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/02/books/review/the-man-who-...

Yeah I have always backed up to external drives and had cloud storage. But now I learn there isn’t rot, so I have to either build a RAID and have refresh software that rewrites and validates, or just buys a new drive every 3 years and backu

Can you imagine the complexity of hiding a bunker digitally? Starts with paper records. Then no phones on crew working the site, no gps devices probably, surveillance satellite records would need to be avoided… on and on.

Who wants to stick around through the apocalypse? What event would be a) well in advance with time to transit to NZ or Hawaii b) require a bunker rather than just isolating in your estate and c) what is the long game assuming society colla

Do some varieties have less nerve toxicity? Sloan recommends avoiding “chronic” use — unclear if that means weekly or what? https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs... .

There is hope that things will change for folks like you who have “paid your debt”, this was on NPR today. It sounds like your best bet is to be incarcerated adjacent jobs, maybe the Innocence project has tech work? Something like that to

For most school systems is because of limitations of available buses. They use the same set of buses for hs, ms, elem, and it’s generally discouraged to have the youngest kids waiting in the low light morning.

My Steam Microsoft Flight Sim requires admin rights, so clearly this is a lost battle. We just need to have containers for every app.

I’m guessing you aren’t carrying an epi regularly — they seem likely to be broken if in my pocket. It’s not a pocket sized form factor. The bag I have is about the size of two croissants — I keep it under seat in front of me or in my lap. B

Well my problem is the conditions of an airline crash (the smoke, extreme heat, etc) are triggers for our disease. It’s not a simple as a peanut allergy where you just avoid eating a certain food. I’m not convinced that medical personnel wo

Yeah I don’t understand why they are so cagey. I’ve been flown out, stayed at hotels, burned hours of their employees time in interviews, and then get a ridiculous low ball and things grind to a halt. Maybe I have a very punchable face and

I’m guessing the difference in pay was because of commissions? Sales is about the only role with fairly crystal clear performance metrics that can be evaluated unbiased (ie how much they made in sales). For most other roles, compensation i

Members of my family require medication (epipen, some various pills), and I keep that along with a flashlight (in case I need to administer in pitch black) in a small haversack. I would probably try to take that with me, as I would hate to

I find most streaming shows subpar, I don’t even bother any more and just watch old series I’ve never seen like Mad Men or Beeaking bad or cheers. We multicam sitcom is kind of awful in this regard, but at least usually it’s funny. I think

I find all the streaming services to be basically chock full of B movies, few that are worth seeing and many that never were released in theaters. Usually there is one or two blockbuster movies, a few classics from the 80s or 90s. HBO used

I think for true believers this is dispiriting news; to become an actual currency we use in everyday life its needs to stabilize and stop these wild swings. Find its “true value” and set, stop this wild price discovery process.

I participate in a lightly moderated anonymous parenting message board, and many agree it is similar to social media in engendering those unhealthy emotions. I definitely feel HN falls in that category, maybe even old school newsgroups and

Bird users are welcome to pay for parking like most cars. But the biggest difference is rental cars need to be returned to a designated place like an airport or car dealership. Or they get picked up. They are never just abandoned on city st

Really, here on the east coast our downtowns are largely empty, with huge office garages always at the ready. Maybe less street parking because we still have some outdoor cafes using sidewalk space for dining now?
