I'm reasonably fit, but I'd never stood for the whole day, until two weeks ago. Then I started running the family business while the parents went away for vacation. I decided to stand / walk instead of grabbing a stool becaus

This is awesome! If there was a similar blocker for Mac, I'd totally use it. Although, I'm not sure why it is called "Focus". But hey, this way I can share my Firefox plugin called Focus ( https://addons.mozil

tl;dr - everything that can break will probably break. Everything else will just get torn to shreds.

Imagine having more electricity than we need in California, especially from wind. We could desalinate water from the ocean all night long.

If you're on Firefox on the desktop, then it installs the add-on. To see which add-ons you have installed, go to Tools -> Add-ons in Firefox! Thanks for trying out the plug in :)

Haha - I tried it. It's shocking at first and annoying soon after. I figured that soft power is the way to go.

There's no substitute for a healthy lifestyle. That said, even with one, you may find that you need a tool like this. I know I do. I added the ability to turn it off as a feature after needing it! =). But yeah - there are heavier alter

I'm sure there are - not sure how lightweight they are though. I'll release a Chrome extension fairly soon.

The hostfile is great! I use it for more permanent blocks. Reason I use the plugin is to be able to turn blocking on and off quickly if I need to, and as of the next version which will hopefully be available tomorrow, I'll be able to b

Great idea! I hadn't thought about the autocomplete feature making it easier to go to a website - but you're right! I'll try to a way to reduce it's effects in a future version. I think it'd still be a good idea to

Potatoes are very nutritious. Maybe there's a less greasy way to make fries so that they'll taste good? Maybe make them in coconut oil and a lot less salt? All the meat served in restaurants is far worse for you than fries.

Is there should be a way of creating an "original" file - the first, which can only be moved, rather than copied? The copy will always have a "copy" symbol on it of some sort.

It's interesting to see how old the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia really is. We've had a friendly business relationship since 1930!

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. There are too many people who make their living by producing squeaks rather than grease, or wheels for that matter.

Got it. Yeah, I figured. I suppose the only time this could be an issue is through word-of-mouth. I tell someone its 'awesomedomain.co" and they'll type in "awesomedomain.com" after a couple of days - but hopefull
