Depends on the person and what they’re used to.

For a lot of people here in Britain, that’s definitely getting up into shorts territory (at least for the shorts aficionados) but somewhere more equatorial, that’s the sort of low temperature where people might start thinking about putting on long trousers… if not also a coat.

I stand corrected. I’ve had the “save passwords” feature disabled for a long time due to (largely misplaced) paranoia, and that feature needs to be enabled for it to generate one.

Edited my original comment to reflect my feelings on the implementation.

Most external password managers have features that the one built into Firefox (or any browser) lack, not least of which is having a separate (encrypted) backup of passwords (a tiny amount of data) independent of a browser profile (often huge).

The next main one is the ability to generate random secure passwords for accounts rather than simply remember the ones you’ve made up yourself.

Edit: It’s been brought to my attention that Firefox can generate a strong random password (feature added 7 years ago, I’ve been under a rock, I guess), but its features seem to be somewhat limited in scope. I couldn’t get it to re-roll a password I didn’t like, nor could I figure out how to tweak the parameters (length, characters allowed, etc.). Mozilla’s own help says “edit it yourself so that it fits the site’s requirements” which seems like a bit of a cop-out.

Though you didn’t ask, PasswordSafe is my preferred choice. (Runs just about anywhere, or so I’m led to believe. I’ve only ever run it on the one computer.)

I don’t even know most of my passwords now. When I’ve accidentally pasted one into the wrong field somewhere, they’ve been practically illegible.

So what you’re saying is that I’m falling victim to a No True Scotsman fallacy.

I guess I’ll have to go away and think about that.

Are you suggesting that people who torture children aren’t subhuman scum?

Look up the paradox of intolerance. This is an instance of it.

Those who dehumanise are the true subhumans.

Greybeards are an increasingly rare commodity, it seems.

OK

is that you

I’d say “I wish” but the guy’s been through some s**t, so I’m not sure I’d swap my life for his.

And since I’m older, shorter and balder, I’m not sure he’d want to swap either.

Firstly, if he’s reposting using his own account, he’s not being deceptive, which he could easily be. (See: The Unidan debacle)

Second, he gets right up the chuff of right-wingers and other people who ought to know better, or at least he preaches from that platform, fake or not. Being self-aggrandising and cocky is usually the sort of thing right-wingers do, so it’s throwing it back in their faces.

And having watched some of his stuff, I think at least some of the hecklers are genuine (if not all of them). There’s one where some nut got kicked out and then lurked outside the venue waiting for him. I don’t think that was made up.

You weren’t someone who got owned at one of his shows, were you?

Spidey wears his under his clothes. So does Superman for that matter. Spidey keeps his mask in a pocket.

The tricky part is what they do with their regular clothes when they’re busy being a hero.

At least in Spider-Man’s case, the comics have shown that he spins a bag to put the clothes in and hangs it in an out-of-the-way place.

What Superman does is less clear, but he can move at impossible speeds, so he might just fold them neatly and take them home, still leaving ample time to do whatever he needs.

I hope being part of the British Commonwealth doesn’t exclude them.

Not being sarcastic.

The link, however tenuous, to Britain and our asinine degree of exceptionalism shouldn’t be a stumbling block, but I can see Europe - especially France - considering that to be a problem.

There’s an ancient UNIX copypasta that’s basically the plot of this comic, but it’s troublingly hard to find the original online.

Here’s one version I found: http://www.anvari.org/fun/Web_Tina/CREATION.html

I don’t remember “technocrat” being part of the original, but it wouldn’t be the first time my recollection has been wrong.

Literally in the blurb:

Carrying cash is too risky these days.

If you’re not getting mugged by the government, you’ll get mugged on the street instead.

Nationality is a somewhat nebulous concept.

Sometimes there is a legal definition. Sometimes there is a - often racially influenced - folk definition. There are, of course, others between and perhaps beyond these.

If any manage to exclude you, there’s your answer.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re right, of course, but some hold more weight than others.

Prepend every cell entry that you want to be left alone with a single quote. i.e. an apostrophe, not a lone double-quote mark.

Alternatively, most word processors come with a table creator that may allow you to create something that behaves how you need. It’s been a while since I did anything quite so complex, so maybe the (un)helpful features have been ported across to those tables too.

But as at least one other comment says, those features are often autocorrect rules and they can be disabled.

There’s an old, old saying: “There is no accounting for taste.”

And it cuts both ways.

Satirists make the best politicians, but most of them aren’t brave enough to try.

So I actually had to drill down into the report itself to find this out:

The organisation releasing the report has offered suggestions and policy ideas to local (if not national) governments that ought to bring down pollution and then relied on those cites to report back the success (or otherwise) of the implementation.

That alone has my sus alarm jingling. People never lie about pollution. Just ask, I don’t know, Volkswagen, maybe.

It also doesn’t report on whether that pollution - if it actually has reduced in a particular area - has simply moved outside the monitoring area. Because I bet there’s a bit of that going on too.
