So back in the day you had to know a lot of weird tricks. The goal was usually to make it look the same in every browser so you had to know the differences between them and what caused them. I think that's why I don't find it very

The struggle to find something to watch might be just what keeps me there. Can't find it easy enough to be able to say "I've seen everything worth watching on Netflix". Now I know there's some good stuff there just

Don't know, I think it could mean a lot of things. You usually read about it when healthy young persons drops dead on a football field in the middle of practice. Saw some numbers about it recently, happens a lot.

And on linux you can always boot a live usb and mount your file system to it and try to figure out whats wrong. I had to do that only a few days ago to repair the bootloader that had fried itself somehow. Of course you have to know what to

Between 7 and 8 hours, probably closer to 8 most days. Alarm is flexible between 08.00 and 08.30. 6- hours of sleep happens every now and then too ofc. and 9+, not that much though. I'm usually not tired until bedtime. I can probably r

Not like they are pumping around the ashes. It's worse to think about than it really is. It's just heat. Every now and then you think about where the water you're drinking have been in the past too, right? https://

I believe we have a few crematoriums connected to the heat networks here in Sweden. Kind of creepy to think about, but creepy isn't a good argument against it so why not, I guess. My father passed last week, maybe he heated up a small

You can disable bookmarks showing up in the address field in the settings. Url auto completion could still be better though.

From what it looks like reading swedish news over the years, there is no money in running a traditional farm, german milk is cheaper, danish meat is cheaper and so on. I'm sure that's the main reason a farmer would go for somethin

The woman was reported missing to the police early morning when she didn't come home/was heard from the night before, so she was reported missing hours before the sub sank.

He could have dumped the body somewhere else and only sank the sub to wash away the evidence. The sub was missing for over 12 hours. Who knows how far that thing can get in that time.

Too bad these streaming survices are run by companies with unlimited money, otherwise I would hope for some big crash where only the few good ones survived. Not that I want a monopoly situation either, so... Never mind, I guess.

Not ok. You need to walk in there and demand to know what you are accused of. Not "so that I won't do it again", don't say that, but because you have the right to know to be able to defend yourself.

Yeah, but there is a lot of uglyness going on with linux programs over all, where different settings and themes doesn't really help. Vivaldi looks good on it's own and has decent settings for changing the looks, thats what I like.

Nice, but… This is not the history update I wanted from Vivaldi. The url autocompletion is annoying. I think it goes for the sub pages I clicked my way to, that shows up the most in history, instead of just the domain and the home page. I m

Yay for the effort! But personally I don't think this is a good way to learn and use vim. The strength of vim is to customise it after your own needs and you'll do yourself a disservice if you end up with a config that you don
