overview for EtherWhack

Pretty sure the intention is more to distance oneself from depressing information about an event that has occurred, not about something which can be interfered upon.

I.E. Hearing/consuming constant news about election results when one vehemently opposes the result can very easily lead to anxiety (shown in the comic) and depression, both of which can be damaging to one's mental and physical health.

By any chance, is there a way to impeach someone before swearing in?

I vote for who I think is the better person; who, 99% of the time is not a republican. (still waiting for that 1% to prove the stat)

I'm back to vent AGAIN! This time about an email my mother sent to me. Enjoy some mild bigotry and ignorance about existing as a queer person and Trump's plans. in c/[email protected]

Here's to hoping a federal mandate will eventually come. Sooner, the better, though.

Depends on the state/area.

I know at least in Georgia (US), they still had those tissue paper thin bags at Target when I was there on business earlier in the year. They may have had reusable bags that you could buy didn't notice any), yet I didn't see a single person using one.

I say keep the time at either at ST or DST and let the different institutions/businesses decide their hours of operation. I'll bet you after a year or two, 99% will settle on something and keep it throughout the year.

Well, how do we know he doesn't use dialysis and have a colostomy? I mean he was nearly burnt to a crisp, so I imagine a few 'appendages' and orifices might have been charred beyond recognition.

Hell, do we know if he can even eat anything or is it all IV?

Can I have my cursor on at the end of the URL instead of selecting all of it, when I focus on the URL bar? in c/[email protected]

If you are on Windows, Mozilla apparently removed the option for it (browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll) when they were optimizing the code. The last time I checked around, as I also get annoyed by it, everything pretty much said the switch will never come back

There was however a sort of hack that involved playing around with one of the config files in the program folders. I'm not sure if it persists through updates or even works still though.
