You can be confidently wrong. It seems like you just don't like the thinking/reasons they did.

How else are they going to track people with a hard-to-change identifier?

There's an option to turn off the inactive tabs feature. Trying to "share" all of them will crash Firefox, so I manually select 100 and share those, then close those, repeat 20 times (which is how I know how many tabs I had o

You're not stuck; slowly change addresses with the different companies, people, etc. I did it over the course of a few years without hassle. If you spend $10/year for your own domain, then you can use a catchall, and if you ever

https://imgur.com/a/bqyWblS Maybe it was the Firefox addon Canvas Blocker? That addon was crashing the game, so I disabled it and appears to work now. The game still makes my laptop fans kick on though.

Happened a second time :-( although this time my opponent still had a chance. Both games where my opponent left, now show as wins in my history. Also, I like the dice addition, but on desktop, the dice images are not matching up with what i

I'm running uBlock Origin, and don't care to disable it, oh well.

That's why I only mentioned a different condition which hopefully doesn't lead to bad sportsmanship.

I think there was a HN post a few weeks or maybe a month or two ago that showed which weather forecasting service was more accurate in general by comparing predictions to actual. I think the winner was Microsoft's with about a 70% acc

Pretty cool, thanks! I was casting my pieces off, guaranteed a win, but my opponent left, so it didn't count as a win for me to my disappointment. Perhaps if someone leaves and doesn't return within 60 seconds, the game should be

Can't see the pictures due to login required :-( I've been on a dark ship in the middle of the ocean and that was pretty good for stargazing, though I guess Australia might be a tiny bit better due to less reflective surface (comp

Perhaps it didn't compress evenly? There's no reason a previous universe had to form, expand, or stay distributed evenly.

Interesting. Did you ask or did they say how often they make that accomodation, or did they talk about any other similar kinds of accomodations?

I don't remember seeing Pocket, so I went back to the settings to look. There's an option to have "Thought-provoking stories" which in smaller text says "Powered by Pocket". Considering I didn't even real

> It is especially terrible if you are not in the habit of closing open tabs and just open new ones. I just closed a bit over 2,000 tabs on my old phone because I was switching phones. I recall reading a couple of other comments here in

You don't need any, but they're very useful when used responsibly. A person could theoretically go through their whole life (in the U.S.) and not need any form of credit, but that usually requires having money or capital upfront.

You also need multiple credit cards. I mostly use cash everywhere I go, but I have one credit card for autopay items, and another credit card for random purchases. I have a third card for temporary use should either of the first two cards

I can only imagine what your earlier deleted comment was. If someone was searching for "How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found", I would assume they meant to hide, not to commit suicide. I've worked at sea. A mariner

As another said, the Captain didn't specify what the question was. Saying "authorized" was a big mistake. I work somewhere now where I have to be careful using that word because it implies you're taking on the responsib

Some don't recognize the situation is bad because of ignorance. Some don't pull back because of cowardice. The rest keep on going because of the sense of adventure. It makes you feel alive.

"One of my takeaways from the article is that the captain's confidence and willingness to do the right thing had been shaken after he'd been burned the last time he'd refused unsafe orders." This is just one serious
