Several years ago I was doing advertising websites, one of our customers was (Pfizer? Bayer? both were customers) they had developed a drug against Dupuytren's contracture[1] and apparently found it effective enough against Peyronie's that we were asked to create a website describing this (possibly off label) use of that drug.

Honestly I have no idea if it was effective or not, nor do I know anything about the side effects, but just in case you were unaware of that particular option I want to put it out there.

From what I can find, doing an online search along that path it might have been Xiaflex/Xiapex by Pfizer.

(Not paid by anyone in this particular business anymore, just remembered it when I read your comment).

Are you lamenting that you reach for `console.log` first, instead of using the `debugger` statement, or are you wishing there was a `debugger` statement, because there absolutely is a `debugger` statement. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...
Thank you, I had no idea what the subject was from the headline

You wont notice any difference until about a minute in where all the instruments come into play.

There is also "slankekur" which more or less translates to "slimming-cure"

I thought the same thing.

"I really hope they got permission to ruin the lawn"

A close friend of mine has been in and out of the job market for years with various diagnosis, including stress, depression, anxiety, OCD, one doctor even suggested brain damage.

She was diagnosed with ADHD and ADD a few years ago, got medication for it which cleared up most of the above symptoms. She has now held a steady job, although at a reduced workload, for a few years.

People who fly FPV order these cameras all the time.

This one is about $8 https://www.banggood.com/600TVL-8_0MP-14-2_8mm-CMOS-FPV-170-...

How about this one for $22 with a 5.8GHz transmitter https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TX01S-NTSC-Mini-5_8G-40CH-2...

His Hololens Super Mario is awesome as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN95nNDtxjo
For those not wanting to click through that site, here is the youtube video.

Huh? I submitted this 23 hours ago with the exact same url, glad to see som discussion though.
I just order my ESP8266 bare bones from Banggood, about $3, free shipping and if you order them in bulk you save even more.

The ESP8266 works great as a standalone device and you can even flash it with the Arduino firmware, though I prefer NodeMCU.

Logitech Cordless Optical TrackMan

I have no idea why they made it wireless, it ate batteries like crazy, but its still the best trackball I've ever owned.

Having the ball at your middle and ring finger gave better control than the thumb driven ones.

You can still get it on places like amazon, but at a ridiculous price, 10-20 times what it originally retailed for.

Thankyou for the clarification
Ok, just to make things clear, and to make sure I understand, an attack could look like this;

1. I trick you into using my GitEvil Repository Service (GERS™).

2. After you upload your data, I swap target site information (in this case name) with the name for GERS™.

3. Next time you log in to GERS™, you accidentally send the login information for target site instead.

4. Profit

In that case, keeping with the wish to keep the manager searchable without the master password, would it be possible to mitigate this by HMAC'ing the encrypted password with, for instance, the site name?

As should be obvious from the above, I'm no crypto expert.
