I suspect something else is going on there. I made that switch years ago and haven't found a site that doesn't play nice with Firefox in that time.

I think Yar tried

For sure. It's frustrating when people get your name wrong and enough of that can make it bothersome when you know other names are being said wrong.

Thanks for being open to correction!

Women breaking out of previously accepted societal norms were seducing (guys? boys? men?) into sexy parties that probably weren't risque enough for late night skinemax but too far for PBS.

Pearls were clutched

I don't disagree. I think if it's an issue the users have the power to resolve it

Right, which is why I put the line after that in

I don't get it either. Defederation is a tool just like banning or spam prevention. If it's unused it's pointless to have.

But you don't ban everyone for a single offense just like to don't defederate lightly. If you do then people will move elsewhere and the problem resolves itself

It's slow with bad pacing. There's are things that are obviously supposed to look impressive but even if they ever did (for which there's disagreement between the nerds old enough to remember) it absolutely did not age well. Those are the obvious ones off the top of my head without having watched it in a few years.

I guess I'll have to give this HD director's cut a shot but I'm pretty skeptical.

I'll admit I haven't seen that but it would have to be some impressive magic.

My wife has never managed to stay awake past the opening sweep around the Enterprise but I can't say it really gets better.

I think while Insurrection and Nemesis are widely agreed as bad next gen movies I would argue they're better than the worst original movies.

If you can't acknowledge Motion Picture as bad I don't know that we can have the discussion on a solid base though.

Lot of comments here with single down votes. I wonder how salty op is

Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don't use GitHub but I'd be surprised if they did. There's been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you're using to access GitHub.

This should come up whenever someone says you just need to work hard to succeed and get a better job than fast food.

This man has grandchildren and hasn't missed a day in 20 years. He's not a teenager. He's not lazy. He's a real person who has worked his ass off, probably more every day than a lot of CEOs in a month.

And I bet he's still happily making your lunch.

Nah. I've had a domain registered with them for years and I just got the email too

Just the cool people

Look for the little joys. Seriously. You know that light that always seems to be red when you get there? Celebrate the times it's not rather than getting annoyed when it is. Make up words from the letters on a license and consider what might make a person want that. Come up with bad answers. Absurd ones. Find shapes in clouds.

Not all of that is easy but it can be worth the effort.

Happiness can be chosen, just not all the time. Look for the places you can and try to do it. Like anything it'll get easier with practice.

There are hard things that will make choosing happiness nigh impossible. If you find yourself in one of these places you need external help, very probably professional. It's not weakness to acknowledge that any more than it is to see a doctor if you cut off your arm.

prosthetics and bionics are taking leaps and bounds

Heh

There's a Mitt Romney 37% joke in there somewhere

But yeah. It's a terrible truth
