The Dublin-NYC one’s reopened now with automated blurring out of a bunch of stuff.

Americans visited the UK during WW2’s rationing and never updated their stereotypes.

Huh, so it is! Growing up in the UK, the US version seemed to be on more, and I’d assumed that that was the original.

You’ve missed off the ! so Voyager thinks it’s an email address.

I doubt that you can get your skin hot enough to denature those proteins without damaging yourself. I’ve given myself a blister before trying.

Over many years, I’ve settled on hydrocortisone cream followed by an ice cube. Those little buggers love me.

Road distances are in miles if you’re driving, but if you’re running (maybe also cycling?) then it’s in km.

Next is the Doubly Extended Three Letter Acronym.

And it’s not even that hard, just try the sentence with he/him to test it out:

• Who lives above? He lives above.

• Whom is this for? This is for him.

Oh whoops, I should close some windows, because I currently have 623 open tabs in Firefox across 107 windows. It’s working fine, even with all my plugins running. Firefox is good at unloading dormant tabs.

I don’t find that, but when I do you can often find the page on https://archive.today/ or https://web.archive.org/. You should be able to set it so that you can pass them a url from the address bar using your browser (e.g. Firefox’s quicksearches smart keywords) or search engine (Bangs on DDG, Kagi, searx), if it’s not already linked from the post text.

Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.

I thought it was tuna (or other sashimi) with a little fat on it. Either way, that emoji does not convey my reaction at all.

I don’t often eat these nowadays, but if you remind me that they used to be called Opal Fruits they taste better.

I thought at some point they were calling 720p “HD ready” and reserving “HD” for 1080p. It’s all a bit of a mess, but that’s pretty standard for tech names, as well as the TLAs, ETLAs and DETLAs.

I just accidentally stumbled across some proof for my looks-over-usability statement:

In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.

This doesn’t affect me, but I’m sure there’s going to be a vocal tiny percent that absolutely hate this news.

Something I missed first time was

The data was collected from 2011–2015

Hopefully, it’s better now (based on nothing).

I know most people don’t seem to have the ability to look through menus and identify the thing closest to what they want to do. I think software might be more difficult to use now, too - the trend for “clean” design means that usability and discoverability goes out the window.
