Yes! I keep a basic Casio MS-80s handy for sanity checks and a 30-year-old CFX-9850GB Plus for when things get serious.

@focusedone I tried reader mode in several browsers it was such a hit or miss, it just did not work for me, and honestly I wanted to convert to markdown not just plain text

I tried several reader modes, there were several issues including * several potions of the main content was missing * the navigation bits get caught when in reader mode * the comments and other un-related sections come in play

I really tried these before invesitng time in this

I agree with the premise and don't want to knock someone's project.

It does seem like a lot of computational effort to achieve what F9 / Reader View does in FF.

All of these items appear to have received the HN hug of death. They're all showing as unavailable for me, who just wanted to drop a friendly lime hello to a friend across town.

Many soccer associations are saying — what a stupid name, soccer, you know everybody else calls it football, the NFL has been mean, we should really do something about that, can we do something about that?, let's get some people on that to change the name of football to something else and then soccer to football — they're saying, and these are some of the best soccer associations, the real best, FIFA in fact, it's saying we got the FIFA peace prize, and you know it was the first one, because I'm the president of peace, some say the most peaceable president, and the radical left hates it, but Venezuela you say?, I can't say I've heard of it, but the people who deal with those things, they tell me, and they're very smart, the greatest, some say, they say that this just has to be done, so we're doing that, and did you know they stole our oil?, stole it a long time ago, and it's ours, it really is, they tell me, but I haven't heard about this strike yet, if it's important I'm sure its reach my desk, it's a beautiful wood desk

I'm not sure if this is a direct quote or a creatively written one but I'm afraid to find out.

Was thinking the same thing. This seems better suited for chatting with arbitrary people nearby, but with zero verification of who you're talking to. You don't have to set up an account at all, just install the app and start chatting as @anon<number> or change the username to whatever you want.
