What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • That's because in America we're so concerned about contaminants on shells that we clean all the protection off the outside, making the shells porous enough for bacteria to get through. Store-bought eggs in the US so have to be refrigerated.

  • No problems here
  • FYI your spoiler text isn't working for me; nor is that of anyone in the reply chain. Not sure if this is a problem with Boost, some weird federation glitch, or something else.

  • Firefox for iOS now deletes all my private tabs
  • You might consider seeing if Container Tabs paired with the Temporary Containers addon serves your need. With that setup, every new tax you open is isolated from the local storage of your other sessions, much like private browsing. You can also set up defined containers for sites you want to remember the state of.

  • What is PID 0?
  • The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):

    The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.

  • Developer Spotlight: Dedalium — turn the entire web into an RPG game – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog
  • Interesting; it reminds me a little of an addon from maybe a dozen years ago that would do the same kind of thing but with fiction. So you'd be reading a post on Slashdot or whatever, and the addon would find a sequence of words that matched the start of one of the stories it had, and it would add a few words of that story. If you noticed, you could click on them to get more of the story, and if you kept clicking it would eventually replace the text of the whole page with the story. It was a really neat way of just stumbling across fiction. Wish I could remember the name of the addon. For some reason I think it was Australian, maybe put together by a university or an arts council or something?

  • The truth...
  • I actually have met a concerning number of people who idolize The Empire in the original Star Wars trilogy. The one who was always loudest about it willingly moved to Florida recently and is turning sadly right wing. He used to be a super smart punk rocker, too.

  • Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important
  • Definitely; OP's linked article doesn't have any quotes that refer to copyright, while this one of yours adds a lot of context that was otherwise missing. There's a world of difference between allowing retention of IP addresses and creating a cleaning house for IPs suspected of distributing works.

  • What’s the best ad blocker for you? - Firefox Add-ons Blog
  • If XSS is your concern, check out Firefox's Container Tabs. They allow you to set up tab groups that restrict access to cookies to only tabs in that group, so you can just, eg, set up a group for your bank and restrict it to just your bank's site. Your session cookie etc are then not available to any other tab groups.

    I pair that with the Temporary Containers extension, so any random tab I open is in its own container. Everything is always separate.

  • Which adaptation do you think has surpassed its source material in quality?
  • I came to this thread expecting to see this, and even with that expectation it makes me sad to see; to me the books are unarguably superior, to a large degree because Tolkien is such an excellent writer. I'd encourage anyone who's bounced off the books a time or two to go back to them and try reading them aloud, even quietly to yourself: even though it's prose, the text has meter and flow almost as strong as poetry. It's undeniably a slow read, but it's just such a beautiful one that the films, fun as they are, don't hold up.

    Plus, Jackson's Two Towers is garbage.

  • Left hand keypad with D pad and scroll wheel?

    Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend's old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware.

    Recently, my old n52te has started to show signs of age after a dozen or so years of abuse. If you're not familiar, they look like this: !

    There's definitely stuff that could be improved on--just being able to build your own firmware for it would be amazing. Having one or two more thumb buttons for layers would be sweet as well.

    The community of ergo mech keyboard builders are doing some super cool things with 3d printed builds and all kinds of neat stuff. Since I've just been dipping my toes in, my question is: does anyone know of any good replacements for my n52te? Is this something anyone has tried tinkering around with?

    Thanks!

    5e: Playing with Ancestral Weapons

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with some homebrew stuff I'll be dealing with in my 5e campaign.

    If you're not familiar with Ancestral Weapons, it's a pretty cool system that gives you the ability to have weapons that level up with your players. The players get points periodically that they can spend on upgrades to their weapons.

    I'll be using a variation of this setup in my campaign, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do so. My initial thought was a scene for each character's weapon, with some Monk's Active Tiles to handle a "talent tree" kind of interface where a player could select and then lock in which powers they want.

    That doesn't really take care of updating the item itself though, which means that the players would have to update things manually ("oh, I need to make this sword +2 now" for example) after using the scene as a kind of calculator.

    So maybe there's a better way: make the weapons Actors of their own, with special character sheets or something? Or maybe there's an existing mod I can use? Any thoughts or suggestions on the best way forward are appreciated.
