I wish I'd stuck with 10. I upgraded to 11 and it's just a slower, shittier version of 10.

Has the list of known problems been saying for 19 years that "to date there has been no full listing of all known problems"?
If so, we might need a list of known problems in the known problems list. (-:
Or maybe it is time to acknowledge that "to date" in 2006 was a fair while ago now.
We can find all the problems in Unicode by making a list of all the non-problematic characters and then circling the ones that aren't on the list.

Amazing news. This was the one thing keeping me from switching from Chrome to Firefox.

Is there some kind of database for stuff like this, where people can report abusive products? That would be a great way to avoid such things while also naming and shaming companies who do it.
I have gotten migraines (a visual aura followed by a horrible headache) on and off for years. Some years I’d have a couple, some years I’d have none at all. I have always tried to trace it back to a common theme. For the longest time I thought that common theme was caffeine.. to the point that I quit caffeine for like a year. Unfortunately, I still ended up with a migraine! One day I realized something, maybe my migraines had nothing to do with caffeine but everything to do with electrolyte balance. I recalled the many days I’ve had migraines and besides caffeine, the other common theme was that I had drank a significant amount of water. Sparkling water especially, I can pretty much just guzzle all day because I never get bored or sick of it. Sense then, I’ve made sure that if I drink a lot of water I also throw in some LMNT or similar electrolyte powder in there. I’ve been able to enjoy coffee again without the migraine. YMMV!
It was similar for me. I'd get migraines a few times a year. I couldn't find any food correlation, but it seemed to often happen the day after doing strenuous activity, sweating a lot and drinking a lot of water. I started to suspect it was related to lack of electrolytes, so I began taking electrolyte solution after running or any other sweaty activity. In the few years since then, the migraines have been much less frequent, and about half as intense.

People already jog to nowhere. Why not jog to the store and come back with a loaf of bread and actually get something done at the same time?
I did that once. I wanted to go for a run, and I also wanted to buy some soup spoons from Ikea. So I ran to Ikea (about 4km away), and had to walk through the store all smelly and sweaty. It felt inconsiderate to the people around me. Then I ran home holding the spoons. Running while holding things is awkward. So there's two reasons. I haven't done that sort of thing since.

This was funny, a few paragraphs in:
"For Freud, this was just another confirmation of his theories. He wrote in a letter to Fliess:
THIS IS THE FIRST OF YOUR THREE FREE ARTICLES FOR THE MONTH."

This looks interesting, I might give it a try over the weekend.
If only someone could invent a cryptocurrency that incentivises something good instead of something harmful.

What? Just tell me how much goddamn spinach to use.
