I switched to Chrome about a year ago, used it for about 6 months, then switched back to Firefox. It's much less of a memory/battery hog and much more customizable than Chrome. Unless you're heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, there's really no reason to use Chrome. It's a very overrated browser.

The main characters were great in Tremors but there is a reason (besides money) the Tremors series became the Burt Gummer show.

Won't even open a damn door.

The problem is that it's not your ignorant friend or her baby who will die. The beautiful 10 month old could be a carrier and infect babies (who can't be vaccinated till they are 6 months old) or some immune-compromised person. It's others who get burned when these idiots play with fire.

the american way of mummification.

I thought Randall Munroe (xkcd.com) covered this pretty well, actually.

@grumpygirl: I have a full bush and usually do. The most I do is trim it down a bit for fun now and then., but I haven't even done that for a year or more. I think it is cute and I'm lazy so the bush stays. We can't be the only ones.
