I’ve never liked this metaphor because when you are sailing you have no control of the ocean. Yes, I am autistic.

Don’t worry, your president will just declare himself president of another country and take all their produce for you.

Administered vaginally… “ooh I’m a bit crampy today! Time to pop a pussy pill”

Neither did majority of football fans

This is unfortunately not true. Qatar had record numbers for attendance and viewership - average attendance was 96.3% of stadium capacity, with 5 billion total viewers worldwide.

There was a tiny dip in numbers for 2018 compared with 2014, but they were still very high.

I don’t think there’s much chance of it being any different next year sadly.

You mean like how they’re defending Ukraine? Lol

Just use your hyperfocus superpowers

It’s been a few years since the US invaded Iraq… Regardless, China’s investment in oil production does not translate to consumption. About half of Iraq’s oil was going to the US around 2004.

China gains power and influence in foreign nations through significant investment in infrastructure (often leading to enormous debt), which is going to result in significant long-term gains for China. The US approach is to smash the front door down and loot the place, then install a puppet who is hopefully loyal to them and won’t be easily ousted.

I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of either of them, but I know which one I’d choose if I had to pick one.

There are a lot of countries that absolutely would arrest him. Unfortunately close to none of them are the ones touting international human rights.

Here are a couple of his past flight paths:

I did consider less common uses like that, which is why I specified “general reading”. I prefer paper for my sheet music, but I’d choose something with a faster refresh rate than e-ink if I had to use something with a screen anyway.

The only reason I’d want 2 “pages” is so I could close it to protect the screen(s)… but that’s exactly what covers are for.

Apart from the tiny minority of people who might prefer the form factor/“book feel”, are there any actual advantages to having 2 screens for general reading?

I heard this more than a few times over a year ago. Sure, it’s getting better, but there will always be limitations and weak points, even if they require more effort to detect.

Wheezing even

A much happier ending than I expected.

I’m guessing this is what you’re talking about?

Yep I got the feeling that we were of similar minds about it but I wanted to provide some balance in case anyone else was weighing up switching to a different browser.

I knew JS was his handiwork, but I wasn’t aware of his significant role at Mozilla or that he is also behind Brave, so thanks for sharing that link.

According to your link below he was co-founder of Mozilla in 1998. Based on the other information on that page, he had a very significant role in shaping Mozilla and their tools, so as disagreeable as his personal views may be, it’s not impossible that Firefox might not even exist today were it not for his work there.

Someone else has already pointed out that he was pushed out, but he actually resigned due to public pressure (he was only CEO for 11 days, and one of the board members even left due to him being appointed) before going on to found Brave and becoming the CEO there lol.

If I chose not to use products based on the personal beliefs of the people who worked on them I don’t think I’d have very many options. Mozilla has made heaps of questionable decisions over the years, but the other options are generally much worse.

Very different situation. Home invaders are generally thieves. Home insurance will get you your stuff back. Life insurance won’t give you your life back.

It is, though I believe the shooter was Australian, which may have been what the previous commenter was confused about.
