Some people need a slap in the face. When I was mod sometimes I couldn't handle all the crap. But if someone messaged me nicely and seemed understanding, I always replied in kind.

Reddit mods are power hungry assholes. This one specifically too. But you also broke the rules of the sub. When I was a mod of a small sub having to handle all sorts of people giving me attitude, I wasn't paid enough for it.

You weren't like "oh sorry, I didn't understand replying to questions with info about my work broke rule 9". You were more like "how dare you".

Yes, replace the starch with a banana and more starch.

Brownies don't need protein or binding like a cake needs.

I do this all the time, but at least I admit my fault when it fails terribly.

BTW you can replace the eggs with apple sauce, but definitely not the oil

Not just cromossomes matter. Intersex can be purely environmental and not genetic.

Absolutely. I've live in a city before where they deployed bike lanes as if all the counter was the number of kilometers. No plan whatsoever.

My change of clothes is because during winter I get all sweaty by the time I get to work, nit because I like to cosplay Tour De France.

Or enough rain and snow that you can't see more than a meter ahead.

If you think you can bike in any weather, you haven't biked enough 😅. There's absolutely limits. Regardless, you don't need to carry a change of clothes when you use your car.

Fuel costs are only that significant in ICE cars. And unless cities stop supporting cars, parking is not a problem.

I now live in a city where lots of people bike even throughout winter. It's simply the most convenient way to move around short distances.

Of course. You can't just paint a bike lane and expect people to ditch the car. The car has huge advantages: you can drive it in any weather, you don't need to follow a bus schedule, you can carry your whole family safely. You only convince people to replace the car with public transport or bike if those options become overwhelmingly convenient and safe. If the bus only comes twice an hour, only people who can't afford a car will use it.

As long as the car is the most convenient way to access cities, habits will not change. We need more streets restricted to bus and bike only, and more parking converted to bike lanes.

Would have been better without the dumb AI image

 
 
 

I'm not one to usually diss new UI changes, but this one grinds my gears.

Firefox for Android has released a new menu design. It organizes everything a little differently, which is alright it looks fresh. But 2 things are really annoying and a continuous design trend in Firefox.

  • The option to open page in external app has been tucked away in a sub menu. I used this often and it was in the top level menu before. Companies just love hiding things in menus for no reason.
  • the option to open a private tab as a normal tab is GONE. This is how I use Firefox: someone sends me a link, I click on it and it opens in a private tab by default. If I need to sign in to see it (e.g. private Instagram links) then I open it in a normal tab. This option is now simply gone.

So yeah that's my rant. I'll see if I open a bug requesting the 2nd issue back.

 
 

I personally been using it for almost 5 years. I heard about it from a colleague a few years before that but I forgot about it, and then an online ad reminded me to check them out again.
