Show him the maf-scaling thread and have him log his runs. I've never actually done mine. I'll do it this week. Idle hunt is actually a cool example of flutter in the technical sense. All the textbook shit applies perfectly.

Yeah. Ironically, my grandkids probably don't know the reference yet they spend every free waking moment yelling at people online.

I didn't understand the post, I thought the pic was of a hot transvestite. So I did an image search on said pic (Search by Image).

From a quick look I'm thinking this needs more time when the wife is at work.

Haha, yes the woman told the soldiers she’d plant seeds to grow where they fall for them to fertilize. Pretty funny.

I wouldn't describe it as funny. More of a lesson in badassery.

What else would you use? Chrome? Edge? Safari? Opera? All reasonable I suppose. Safari is Apple only of course, and... meh. The rest is basically Chrome with a whole bunch of additional baggage, especially Edge. MS back to their old BS.



Unlike the other examples noted (AOL, etc.) Firefox is still a modern browser. I'm particularly fond of containerized browsing, esp. for Facebook shit. And it has debugging features no other browser has. At this point every one of the sites I've recently found which "doesn't work in Firefox" is actually broken because of security settings blocking third party cross site tracking. None of which is actually functionally important.


From where I sit I don't understand why people use Chrome & family (opera, edge...)


YMMV

I've been using browsers since there were browsers, and honestly, I have never been able to find a reason to use one over the other. Maybe my Internet habits aren't sophisticated enough to tell the difference.
