Already sold out, but they’re taking backorders!

AutoplayStopper from the Extensions “store” thingamajig.

I use AutoplayStopper extension for Chrome. Stops YouTube, news article autoplay, and FINALLY, Gizmodo videos, too. No configuration needed. Just install and reload the page, et voila!

Unfortunately, I agree.

That’s exactly what I was thinking!

Best-practices in software quality can help immensely here, but my guess is that, what with government-style bidding for contracts, those practices aren’t (usually) followed. For example, if the creators of the software actually documented the user needs, then devised the requirements based on those needs, then…

Going to commit to learning German. Starting with Duolingo, but will probably branch from there. It was the first of all languages I attempted to learn when I was in my single-digits, so I figure it deserves the first chance. That’s all for me this year. Everything else will fail, so I’ll focus on one good one.

Uh... Sonic.net has been doing things right for a LOOOONG time. I’m a proud customer, and I fervently hope that they find a way to expand outside of Napa/Sonoma area to serve more of the country without going under, because they are seriously awesome. Yeah, there’s a little bit of hyperbole there, but only a dash.

My favorite from that album is Pie in the Sky. What a silly, short, great thumper of a tune. Thalassocracy is one of the best though.

Gosh, thanks ever so much for the great information you provide. Really, a wonderful service to those of us with such low IQs.

First time I saw this was yesterday. Accelerating onto freeway, car behind me tailgating me, trucks blocking any access to middle (of three) lanes going my direction. I finally got an opening, signaled, and began the lane change. Car behind me switched lanes with me, tight behind, no signal. All of a sudden, they’re…

For older Windows (not sure about 10), you can use the character map to locate the code for the character you need, and then use Alt+[code] to insert it with the font you’re already using. This won’t work for emojis, and also won’t work for a lot of extended unicode characters, but for the first 255 characters of a…

And now, with Ed Lee dead, there’s one less powerful person advocating for ending homelessness. I’m not sure how a single security robot contributes to the homeless problem, but I get the point - one doesn’t do it, but when everyone replaces just one person with a robot. In all seriousness, it seems like it was a…

Remember when any given address for anything was rendered by voice like this:

I love that I am a Sonic.net customer. I only wish that they could really umbrella me from this horseshit.

And also:

I guess I’m a complete moron. I don’t watch his shows (didn’t know he was still a thing, to be honest), but I do read, and from what I read, the court bought his story of depression and ignorance that he was being recorded. Either you have a much better source of reliable information, or have abilities to detect the…

Late to the party, but I made this two nights ago, and we had then last night. Delicious! A little creamier than I’m used to - I wondered if my ramekins insulated the filing too much, and they didn’t fully bake. Next time I might do one extra minute to see the difference.

True. True.
