Compared to what FireFox was doing, it doesn’t appear to be as much of a memory hog, or it handles itself better anyway.
All metrics aside, I have less performance issues since using Chrome than I did with Firefox.

Chrome has an option to close all background processes on exit. It works as advertised.

This whole persisting crap after closing the browser was the last straw for me. Moved over to Vivaldi and it’s been pretty good actually. Otherwise Edge does the job very well on my x360 with excellent touch screen support.

Methinks those are geared primarily towards...ahem, mainland Chinese tourists.

At least a couple of those are aimed specifically at foreigners; it’s really not customary anywhere in Japan to eat while you walk, to my knowledge.

Percentage of fault divided among those involved:

I came here when there were no comments and started typing something like this and thought “This whole situation is fucking exhausting” and deleted it and left.

All true. I grew up in a law enforcement family.

There are rules, regulations, and training programs that pertain to trigger discipline.

They fail more often than they should.

That said, if the dipshit who made the call hadn’t been butthurt over a fucking game, this particular instance of awfulness wouldn’t have…

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

Support the arts; go see the movie.

Having grown up with a number of brothers I always prided myself in my patience to put up with bull crap. Over the years it’s gotten to the point where most people I know will describe it as one of my best traits. But I’ve found that while I can typically remain a brick wall- as soon as I get sick or in pain from my…

I am identifying so much with what your gf is going through and it’s a bit terrifying.

I see what you are saying exactly. My parents are very much like your girlfriend’s parents. I see other friends with their parents and while they have complaints from time to time, I observe a much more accepting and respectful relationship happening between parent and adult child.

Applies to the parents being discussed as it does everyone:

On the other hand, if you’re young enough to still refer to visiting your parents’ house as “going home,” you might not be an adult yet.

When you’re an adult, your christmas list is the booze that costs just a little more than your comfortable buying.

OK, so “parenting” maybe wasn’t the right word. My parents respect that I’m a fully formed person and they don’t waste any time trying to shape my personality anymore. They’re available for support and guidance if I seek it, but otherwise it’s almost a relationship of equals.

I dunno about that. I refer to my house as home, but I still call it “going home,” when I say I’m going to my parents. Similarly, when I’m at my parent’s house, I will say that I’m “going home” to my place. I’ve heard my parents refer to their hometown as home on occasion and they haven’t lived there in almost 40…

As a manufacturer and supplier, it’s an incredibly smart move. They took a lot of the risk out of a new product launch, established their product as the original and don’t have to worry about excess stock. They sold what they could fulfill and made a lot of profit.
