Teddy, I gotta ask: How many monitors for your little farm of tabs?

Vivaldi has stackable tabs, which is incredibly useful l, but they just called out not being able to deal with Chromium so that's one nifty feature out the window.

Ill still take every chance I get to plug Vivaldi, though.

I'm on a laptop, so a single 1920x1080 125 dpi screen. Although my browser window only uses about 80% of the screen width.

Tonsil stones, could they just, like, not exist?

Oh god why? In what world would the body think "that's a good idea, let's do that"? Imean, aside from this one, apparently.

Huh, I thought Vivaldi was a composer of music - specifically stringed instraments?

Some programmers wanted a more elegant browser than Firefox without the RAM glut of Chrome and made a browser called Opera. It was great, had super neat features and was really sleek. Others got involved, it slowly became a Chrome clone. The original guys weren't fans, so they went out and made another browser, Vivaldi. Back to sleek elegance, and they went ahead and made even more super neat features, like stackable tabs and mouse gestures and all sorts of things.

Tl;dr - it's a browser you should absolutely check out if you're not already totally married to your current one.

[Insane Jeenyus]

I need to think on this.

[Honest Tiefling]

You guys are wimps. I googled that while eating.

But yes, the human body is quite stupid at times, such as allergies. Is...IS THAT CAT HAIR!? Let's kill ourselves!

Or, better yet, "Is that a peanut protein? Let's do the EXACT OPPOSITE of our intended purpose of protecting the body and literally kill ourselves."

Hey everybody. I'm writing a movie review for my job news bulletin board. Everybody knows me that I post a movie review every Saturday in this forum. This is a fresh new start for my movie reviews.

[Insane Jeenyus]

I only partially understand:

I reacted to Delauded, an opiate, with heaving gnarly all over a doctor. I have been on that stuff before in 2013 and I felt like needing to itch my skin, even in my sleep. I was given Benidril for the histamine reaction.

Maybe they are trying to protect the peanut! "We have found a better home! Burn his heathen land so we may protect it."

Only ever had dilaudid once, when my appendix went bad. I was in so much pain that I was nearly dying in any position other than laying down (which still hurt like crazy, just slightly less). When they finally called me back, they popped that stuff in, and I swear this is the best way to describe it:

Spoiler: The visuals, not the dialogue. Though after a minute or two the dialogue may have been on point as well.

I could feel exactly where in my body it was, because it was a literal wave of painlessness that just washed over my body. After that everything went pretty well, but dang, I'd like to shake the hand of whoever formulated that drug. That was one hell of an effect.

[enderlord99]

Imagine if you were on Jeapordy, and the answers you had to find questions for were "Yes" "No" "Maybe, but it'd take forty-three cans of paint-thinner and a Russian weightlifter" and "Oh no! It's actually forty-two cans and a Prussian weightlifter! We're doomed!"

I honestly don't see how having all those tabs open is actually convenient in any way. They'll be so small that you have to pixel hunt to find the one you want, whereas bookmarks will generally always have their full name and can also be organised into sub-menus, meaning you don't have to scroll through all 500 of them if you have a rough idea what you're looking for.

The time I heaved it was like looking at the world around me and everything was a gelatinous cube except me, I was the only solid. When the doc moved, she looked like she was made of jello.

this was back in April of this year.

I can say with the absolute most utter, genuine sincerity; I do not have a ****ing clue what you mean by this, please explain.

The premise of Jeopardy is that you're given answers and have to find the questions. I gave two hypothetical answers that were too broad to have single questions unambiguously associated with them, plus another that involved some weird noodle-implements, and a final one that implies, if the questions were also present, that the hypothetical conversation the questions and answers were sourced from (which isn't how Jeopardy actually works) involved a critical mistake resulting in a very big mess.

[LaZodiac]

That is far too high concept of a joke for Jeopardy. Shoulda gone with the implicit understanding that at one point someone will have to say "What is love?" on stage and if it were me I don't know if I wouldn't be able to stop myself from singing the song in doing so. I would get dinged and the fancy Canadian man would make fun of me and then I'd spiral into despair and not answer a single question right for the rest of the show.

Since when does Jeopardy ever crack a joke?

It wasn't a joke "for" Jeopardy; it was one about it.

[Peelee]

All y'all sitting here talking about Jeopardy! but ain't nobody using the exclamation mark. It's the Spider-Man hyphen all over again.

So, slight non-sequitor, you ever see Better Off Ted? That sounds like a less-fun version of Lem's deposition.

Literally all the time but like the other poster said you misread my post. Alex Trebeck is a king of dry humour and I don't think I'd feel bad if he roasted me over a grill.

You'll rip my desire to spell very specific names wrong from my cold dead hands. Megaman, Jeopardy, Spiderman. Break your chains.

[Peelee]

Megaman

I believe you mean MEGATY-MEGATY-MEGA MAHAHAAN! Heroic and aloof!

[LaZodiac]

Peelee I can promise you that's not what I meant at all.

You're both very welcome.

I tried explaining these to my boyfriend, but he's had his tonsils removed so he'll never understand my pain and horror.

I was eating when the first ever surfaced. I bit into it thinking it was just a bit of food. Nope. Nope. Nope.

I'm allergic to soy, and seems like the whole world wants to kill me now, as soy is a cheap filler, so a lot of stuff has either soy protein or soy lecithin added.....

Oh, I'm in the same camp he is. Doubly glad now that I know that exists.

I recommend not being allergic to anything ever. It's worked out quite nicely for me so far.

I had an allergic reaction once. To this day, we still don’t know to what. I live in constant relative fear.

Were you by chance allergic to a relative or a constant?
