Used Netscape Navigator until Firefox was released. Stayed on FF until a couple of years ago. I moved to Waterfox and Vivaldi, I highly enjoy both.
And the next day he stated that he was aware this was happening and if it happened for the governors to communicate back to the feds and the feds would withdraw the bid. How does this article help or enrich anything?

Logistics and bidding collisions during a crisis? Who would have guessed it...

MATE was my go-to until I found Budgie

Dell Latitude 5495. Ryzen 2700U. Great machine! I use one daily and it is standard for my company.
Re:Cloudflare now sells domains at a wholesale price on Tuesday April 30, 2019 @02:19PM (#19790523)
This is correct. Made me sad when I couldn't purchase. I renew my existing domains there. Only 300-ish days before I will renew my new domain here for $8.

Also, they don't renew "premium" domains.

I print color documents all of the time on my home (Dell C1710nw) laser printer. The necessity of color is heavily dependent upon which type of documents are being printed. Life isn't monochromatic for me.

Now at work there are only rare occasions that I print anything at all, preferring electronic copies of everything. When I do print, most everything is monochrome.

This is awesome, thanks for posting!
Sometimes elimination of "technical difficulties" greatly reduces time spent together.
For those who are believers, there is a no-cost ministry in Tulsa, OK (God's ER, godser.us) that helps people work through trauma by similar means. They also have means of remote ministry. My daughter no longer registers on the autism spectrum after working with this ministry. I have friends that have worked through some heavy things in their past and now have high degrees of emotional function.
This will be amazing. I used to install Verizon 4GLTE home devices and it could have been great without the horribly low caps on data usage.

If 5G allows for 500GB+ caps, then cable cutting might extend to internet cable cutting as well....

Re:The Effect of Waking Up Early on Happiness Quantified on Friday September 14, 2018 @12:27PM (#17988556)
Thanks for sharing this research. I have a similar sleep schedule to yours (deprived weekdays, binge sleep on weekends) and find myself low on energy.

I had a period of time in my life where I was getting in bed early and waking up early (naturally) and that was when I was the most satisfied and had the most consistent sleep.

Now that I work in IT, I find myself more stressed and wanting to do more things that I enjoy to counter the stress of the daily grind and am fighting my sleep schedule again. I do feel quite out of balance and would like consistent sleep again, but that would probably require a less stressful job or coming to peace with my current job and situation.

I live within a mile of one of the busier regional airports in the US.

As an aviation buff, I like seeing the planes go by, but I hate thinking about what I breathe when they are gone.

My next move will definitely factor in locality to a regional airport.

From the Article:

---------------------------------------

"Specifically flagged were paragraphs 27 through to 31 of the declaration, which detail the complaints the founding fathers have with King George III."

"The passage contains racist language, stating: "He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

---------------------------------------

Calling out any ethnic group as "merciless savages" is considered to be a slur today.

*I don't know how to format

Good, bad, or ugly, it is a historical document written at a time when it "seemed like a good idea." AI is going to be AI and how you train it is what it does.

There should be nothing surprising about an AI program detecting the ethnically abusive language in the DoI and flagging it.

Did they fix it? Yes. Does this make the whole DoI worthless? No, and we should be fit to learn from mistakes of the past and treasure what is good.

*edit for formatting

No mention of Ubuntu Budgie? I have found that it behaves perfectly and just "gets out of the way." I have never liked the Unity interface and having plank integrated is fantastic. I also like the menu (w/ search) vs. use search for everything UX of GNOME vanilla.
FWIW, fool.com (The Motley Fool) is an investment advisor and something like this is useful for those looking to invest in GM stock before a potential rise.
"I work in IT" is the fastest way to get a phone handed to you to fix an email account.

I typically explain that I work with communications. To the casual asker this typically suffices.

Re:Extensions in Firefox 58 on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @10:33AM (#15748522)
I started with Netscape Navigator and used FF until 2016. As of FF 55 I started to like Firefox again. As of 56, I was mostly sold on it. As of 57, it is the only browser I consider worth using.

I understand getting salty about losing extensions, but sometimes a company has to make decisions that will get them back on track and recording some growth again. Sometimes a company has to overhaul their product to make it work for _more_ people and not their "minority but vocal core."

I agree. The attitude of foregoing comfort up front for the greater reward of a cold shower (in my opinion). Delayed gratification.

It requires me to immediately face harsh conditions until I adjust to the cold and then it is awesome.
