How exactly does this help document things? Is this not just a static-site generator?

Or you could use the browser/windows(?) shortcut Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End, or Ctrl+Up/Ctrl+Down. OR just use the 'take the elevator' link on the page itself.

You're basically saying "don't own something nice if you don't want it stolen". More needs to be done to tackle bike theft. Be that education, physical deterrants (cameras, good quality bike lockup locations, etc).

I've been looking for this for some time. It's really useful to be able to easily find out which streaming service a film/TV-show is available on (or not on!). Are you making any profit off of this, or is there any way to don

The logic alternative would be 'rename', so... 'rn'? The issue there is that's dangerously close to 'rm'! I'll stick to 'mv' thanks.

This feels like one of those browser addons/scripts that replaces words,e.g "being vaccinated" -> "watched the 1984 Ghostbusters" "unvaccinated" -> "2021 Ghostbusters movie"

I find it interesting that most of the comments are about physical products. The 'best design' is often something that's so frictionless and easy to use that it's invisible in day-to-day use. Everyday infrastructure like

I love the aeropress for ease of use, would definitely recommend. I've only used a moka pot a few times (one provided at an airBnB actually), and I'm interested in getting one, but haven't yet. I think there's less tempe

I love the concept of this, although I can't see it working out for me personally, as I often find myself meticulously re-writing text, so I'm hesitant about hand-written text (maybe that's the difference I need...?). Separat

I'm fairly certain that my ISP was affected by this causing an outage of all internet traffic for my network. So it seems possible, although I imagine using an alternate DNS provider should work ok (if they're not overrun by extra

Some episodes of 'Love Death + Robots' (Netflix) have caused me to double-take as I didn't realise at first they were CGI. There's a BTS video[1] about the animation on one episode, appears that it was a blend of both CG

I've just been upgraded to v89 and have this new theme. There are no borders around my tabs now, which make it stupidly hard to differentiate between them (as someone who keeps a lot of tabs open).

Is this true for all of the Covid-19 vaccinations? The page only references the 'Pfizer mRNA vaccine' one. Curiously, does this mean that the Pfizer vaccine is the only one Australia is using/has access to currently?

What's the alternative option? Stretch and pixelate the album art so it's larger on the screen? Personally, I wouldn't use a music player to view album art.

So, I should navigate to an external webpage (which can include other forms of tracking) to unsubscribe from an email that was unsolicited? Personally, I'd rather just flag it as junk/spam.
