How does this access the IMDB api? I thought amazon had some pretty extreme pricing tiers for that.
it doesn't. it uses https://www.themoviedb.org/ and not imdb

> you always get free tapwater in restaurants if you ask for it anywhere in Europe
In the Netherlands you'd have a hard time. Most places will refuse, especially if that's the only thing you're ordering.
that's not really been my experience. whenever i order something at a restaurant and then i ask for some tap water, most of them do

Meh pay doesn't bother me - that's an internal problem for them. What does bother me is firefox on a mac (2018 15inch pro), it just trashes the battery life. Too many tabs open and the fans go haywire, energy usage spikes etc. My mac is at 140 cycles with approx 72% of the design capacity of the battery left, I'm convinced this is because of firefox's bad performance. Might not be but it's the biggest suspect.
I've been using firefox since the really early days and I eventually gave up on mac and started using Brave. Still use it on windows work machines or occasionally on ubuntu where it doesn't have these problems.
piggybacking on this, the performance of Firefox on a Mac with a 4k external screen is abysmal. any action at all takes an extra second or two to perform. not to mention that if i start watching a youtube video it makes the fans go crazy.
i changed back to chrome because of this and it's so much smoother.
I have no idea what this is? What is an 'estimate' referring to, online poker? The image seems to make it look like a robot helps you estimate the amount you should bet when playing poker?
it refers to scrum poker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_poker

It might be just me but I can't look at websites with black backgrounds and white or yellow letters. My eyes hurt and when I turn my head elsewhere I can see shadows of the website for a bit. I use dark(ish) themes everywhere but such high contrast somehow is too much.
i have exactly the same issue. so many websites nowadays choose to have dark themes which are essentially black backgrounds with white text and it is physically painful to read. if i'm invested enough in the article, i always try to change the user styles a bit to make it more bearable.
