iPhone's Firefox is still safari under the hood, but without the support of being a native app on top of it.

At the moment, it's ok, I also have problems, but it'd be great if iOS opened up more and allowed a real Firefox browser to exist.

Nah the future, you're like your grandparents who don't know how to Google, but so much worse. Technology has progressed so far, we wouldn't recognize it, but it'll have been taught from. Society will be so fundamentally different that we don't even have the context to discuss it here. The past, we can make suppositions, and while some will be wrong, we have some idea of what it's like, but the future, we'd be like a Napoleonic war veteran running out of gas in his car because he can't read the dials, didn't know what gas is, and can't use a gas pump because he has no bank account and cannot open one without a social security card.

Yeah but that's a basic meal, good quality, not like, anything approaching award-winning, but you put some effort in it. It's not a lazy meal.

My (definitely not recommended) lazy meal is eating ramen dry because the effort to cook it is just too high right then. A classic one is a pb&j. You could keep canned soup on hand.

If a meal requires me to wash dishes beyond a single utensil and bowl/plate, it is not a lazy meal. Which is fine, yours sounds great. It's just not lazy.

Feels like it's the "family" answer. Basically the first one, the "guest" answer, but more relaxed because you're closer.

Mandragora is the scientific name of the plant that has the same three names Bilbo lists.

This lawsuit was based on a US-only privacy law so it says nothing about what they can do in other countries. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I assume and hope most other nations actually protect their citizens from stuff like this, but cannot say based on this.

While in 50 years it might not be a great building anymore, it will still be a fantastic pile of rubble. Basically landfill, but it can be reused as gravel for new building projects, too.

No, they mean the customization of the card was free.

Less pressure, pretty sure, and if the lowering was gradual enough, you might not feel it. Dunno for sure.

True Polymorph is the easiest if we just wanna accrue wealth quickly

Buy some live feeder mice (a small animal that doesn't involve killing someone's pet) and transform them into jewelry. True Polymorph has none of the restrictions of Fabricate, so we can create fine jewelry without skill. Turn a mouse into a gold ring or necklace, with a large gemstone embedded into it. Sell it at a pawn shop. Repeat, use different pawn shops, and use Dominate Person with Modify Memory afterwards if theres some law about needing an ID. The dominated person can use theirs, and then you remove the interaction from their memories.

Sell fine jewelry made from mice all you want. Use that cash to buy cows or other massive animals, turn them into gold. We don't have to worry about how to pass the gold off though, the goal was to accumulate wealth. Use Fabricate to make the cow-gold into rough coins, build a secret dragon's den.

Of course, if we're willing to be a little less subtle, True Polymorph is also great for doing some light faith healing, restoring blindness due to injury by transforming them into another person that's basically identical, or we could make people look like their ideal selves. Not in the bounds of the question though.

First off, multiple pieces requires multiple mendings, it's true. Second, the break doesn't have to actually divide the object in two, otherwise it couldn't fix, say, a rip in the sleeve of a shirt, or a hole left from stabbing through a tent wall. So you repair the phone screens. One crack = 1 break.

You could try to be pedantic and say a dropped phone could arguably have hundreds of little cracks, but the same pedantism applies to any cut in fabric, it's actually hundreds of individually cut threads. There's a point where you have to stop lumping tiny things into one "break", obviously, but that point is when lumping them together creates a break that's more than a foot across.

Fixing phone screens should be valid with mending. Of course, phones are more than just screens, so you might need multiple Mendings to fully fix a phone, but you'll do great at screen repair at a minimum.

No.

Netflix logging your IP is the equivalent of taking a photo of someone in public. Not ideal if you're into privacy, but it's a public place, so it's your problem. YouTube's Adblock detection is equivalent to patting them down to see if they have a weapon and requiring their ID. The software actively looks for changes, using technology that could detect what extensions you have installed, gather data to profile you better for ads, and monitor what you're doing in your browser while the tab is open.

Both are ultimately for the same purpose, to prevent people from avoiding to pay them, but methods matter.

Looking into it, first, the district has 600 bus drivers. 87 sounds like most of them to me, but it isn't.

Second, they do have a Union, but because they're public sector, they aren't allowed to strike, and the union isn't involved.

But yes, it's a protest about hours and about them being mistreated by the kids. Working conditions, essentially. The Union can't legally support them, there's other ways, but the Union morally supports them.

Do you have a source? I admit mine aren't for sure free of bias, but I'm pretty confident X.com, the online banking company, was actually his.

PayPal (the service) wasn't, and it was eventually so important that they renamed the company after the service, so he's not doing great here, but he wasn't completely devoid of good ideas.

I wonder what happened to that, because he certainly is devoid of ideas now.

Well-deserved as far as I can tell. Had to get an expert to come with him before they'd even consider again.

He started rich, invested in a relatively early online bank that did decently, was CEO, got voted out of being CEO and they put someone competent in that position, where it evolved into Paypal. EBay bought PayPal for 1.5 billion dollars, and that gave Musk a stupid amount of money to throw at things, like founding spaceX and buying into Tesla very early. spaceX and Tesla have competent people.

Honestly, as far as I can tell, his whole business life has been coming up with ideas, finding competent people to help make those ideas reality, and then getting replaced with those people, leaving him with a large amount of money and time to repeat the loop. He also seems to be a good engineer for spaceX. If he didn't start rich, he'd be chief engineer somewhere and do a good job, but instead, he fucks up businesses and then usually gets removed. In twitter's case, though, he bought it personally, and there's no shareholders to kick him out, so all the business stupidity has to play out.

DC 20 isn't even hard considering the effect it's supposed to have.

Level 7 rogue that just got Evasion has a +3 proficiency and could have 20 dex, so succeeds for ZERO damage on a 12, and never takes full.

I think the scroll should've split between Force and Fire damage. Make the Force damage a CON save for half, because you can't avoid it, only tank it, and make the fire the dex save.

Then rogues still get to use Evasion, but it's not "I anime dodge the comet".

According to the article, the stuff he said he let the accountants handle is stuff a competent criminal would've pleaded the fifth to, because he was still VP, and still responsible for what he signed as VP, and now since he's under oath, that testimony is evidence in a criminal case against him.

In other words, he admitted to being responsible and just not looking at anything

There's a second open standard as well, primarily in Europe, CCS2, but both are now compatible with each other aside from the actual heads of the plugs, which can be solved with an adapter, no software needed.

You're right overall though, Tesla's now-open standard is expected to be the new standard in the US, and CCS2 in Europe, so it's a very safe investment, because this new standard will be compatible with its competitor, too, with an adapter to use Tesla chargers.

Overall a huge win for electric cars, if the only thing stopping interoperability is a hat, and also a very good investment for any auto company, for the same reason.

In my household we usually call those "Democrats".

I'd love real political parties, instead.
