Affect

Yes. My parents would have given me the support and love I needed instead of worrying about the least common denominator. I love my siblings but my life would have been so much better without them.

These things have existed for as long as cities did but worried mostly about import duties than immigrants. In most of history, having more people to do useful things was a good thing and they tended not to block immigration except when there might be ethnic or racial tensions and such.

I hadn’t known that this was a method. My entire workflow has been changed.

I was never able to figure a way to do this. I could link to the executable but not modify the shortcut to allow for flags.

First, see if they have the wining numbers for Powerballs that were never won. Something in the tens to hundreds of millions. Then use the entries on the stock market to invest in things that will take off, allowing you to sell before they tank.

Then take all that money and put it in to left wing think tanks that will make this mess go away entirely.

Didn’t this already happen? I feel like it’s been the default for a long time now.

On Windows, I had two shortcuts–one each for a profile. It became my workflow and annoyed me when I couldn’t do that on a Mac. I didn’t always want my work profile to open by mistake, check into systems, etc. when I only wanted the home one, for instance.

I might try this next time I launch. Just launch one, go into profiles, and launch the second one.

And Argentina is already in BRICS.

ITT: People who only use Windows and don’t realize that FF works differently on other systems.

This only works on Windows. For Macs and maybe Linux, you have to run this command to bring up a different profile:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -p

As best I can tell, there’s no way to make this into a shortcut that you could just click on. This change will be good and allow me to launch them without invoking that command in terminal several times after rebooting my computer.

I can’t stand having things in my pocket for the most part so I have a small shoulder bag that hold my wallet and keys. My phone goes in my pocket if I am walking around but on my desk or table if I’m sitting. The only thing that remains inside and that’s because it goes into the tiny pocket are my airpods because I can’t really notice them.

Not a common joke but pretty much every building I have lived in has people using random joke names for their wifi setup.

I would think that loss of a child. As a teenager, I had a neighbor whose friend had lost both a child and a spouse and who said that the spouse was more difficult. Of course this is subjective and will depend on each person.

I had a friend who was a computer science student and did an additional major in Japanese just so he could read manga in original language. It can be done but requires a lot of dedication.

If you are a native English speaker, then learning Germanic and Romance languages will be easy because they have much in common. With Japanese, there’s no real evolutionary commonality so you really have to just learn a whole new system that doesn’t match your expectations–and from scratch. Example:

1,352

English: one-thousand three-hundred fifty-two Japanese: one thousands place, three hundreds place, five tens place, two

Just the conception of how numbers work is different. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t try to do this, it would be fantastic. Just know that you have to develop a lot of new intuitions.

AFAIK there are rarely whales born in captivity and nearly all were stolen from their pods and thrown into a swimming pool.

LOL I still have an account on Off Topic but have no reason to ever use it again.

Apparently the people who live there are sick of it all and are starting to push back. Should be interesting to see if there are new laws or regulations.

I took it to mean that these were unusually extreme even for there.
