My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.
I haven’t done it in a couple, but I used to have a “trick or treat” table and a “trick or drink” table. You got to choose one. If I was even a little sus, you were carded, that was rare, and never actually caught anyone cheating anyhow. Takes a lot of prep work though.

I’m curious why you think it was Firefox. In any situation, US based mobile networks, on a practical scale, top out around 140M per second in very robust, and not highly deployed environments. Usually those will be highlighted as 5G Ultra Wideband (Verizon’s term i think) or something. Even in the best environment, that’s still more than 1.5 hours of maximum data usage. You would be throttled back way before this point, so you’re not looking at something you did suddenly. It’s likely weeks of effort.
Are you watching a lot of YouTube, TikTok, porn, or some other video service in your browser lately? If not, then it’s not likely you’re browser. If you are, I’d recommend getting the app specific to the service you’re using. They can sometimes leverage non- standard codecs to reduce bandwidth usage while streaming. Also turn off autoplay on videos during your doom scrolls.
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…
Several major subs have closed, they’re forced to campaign to keep mods, a significant amount of content generators have left. Even though it’s been only a couple weeks, they’ve slid on the global index of visited sites. They’ve lost 3-4% of 1.7 billion views in weeks. That’s 10’s of millions of ads not delivered. That alone is several million dollars lost on a site trying to be profitable. This doesn’t include people on the fence, people currently unaffected because their app didn’t die until this week, or people just watching the drama until it’s boring again. Also, Reddit depends heavily on free labor to succeed, the bulk of the community that is leaving is their free labor pool. They don’t have the cash to pay moderators for their time and they just removed the tools that let those people do their work.
If you’re still using Chrome… What was it like hitting retirement age before 2008?
Jokes aside, Chrome really is the bottom of my list in the last several years. I’ve gotten the best functionality out of Firefox in the last while. Anyone else different?
I don’t work in hardly anything touching a front end, but shouldn’t you support all major browsers for your rendering? So, checking it in several browsers all the time.
I totally get the difference between should and do, so honestly asking. There is shit I should do, and there is shit that there is time to do. Checking all browsers on all updates may not be it.
It’s pretty useful at work because I can separate the about riddled with sales trackers from asking for quotes from my “how do I do X” profile. It can change the results a fair bit. On one I’ll get tons of Enterprise professional services, the other recommends a lot of FOSS results.
We still have some where I live, but I haven’t been in years and they’re all dying. As an older dude, I really only went for games, shirts, and someplace social to walk around and see interesting or new stuff with my wife. Games are all online and I can get next day delivery from Amazon if I want the finest textiles China has to offer. (Not entirely negative, they’re the just not known for high quality, dat price tho.) Especially after covid, we generally don’t go out to public places for social interaction. Anymore, we just go to gatherings of friends and play different board games people have gotten recently
Right? Op is trying to personify “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all or if ideas”. It’s almost like it’s a beast practice to encrypt data at rest, including your pain text keys.
For those of you who weren’t diagnosed until adulthood (I’m in my late 40s), what was the diagnosis process like? Are you just given a written test, or does someone evaluate you more thoroughly? Do they try to understand your symptoms, or is it more of a checklist? If anyone has personal stories they’d be willing to share,...
I’ve was in my late 30’s on active duty in the military. As someone who has been in more than a decade, I still couldn’t remember all my uniform pieces on workout days.
When I spoke to my doctor, he referred me of base for testing. There testing was fairly straight forward. There was some testing for learning disabilities and IQ. Mostly written work, but half was doing a rather long computer questionnaire. When I took the test for the ADHD it was a particularly bad day. Apparently the psychiatrist had seen 3rd graders with worse scores. I think she thought I threw the test. When the testing concluded I got the results and went back to base for the rest of the treatment.
I don’t know your circumstances, but I would advise simply asking your doctor for a referral. They did check for other disabilities, and also other contributing conditions, like depression. Getting treatment started with a few different drugs in very small doses. My biochemistry muddy be off because I had significant reactions to those small doses, but just communicating was able to solve it all. There was even one that made me not want sleep anymore. On day 2, I called and they made me stop immediately (given that is pushing deadly if it continued). So definitely don’t think it’s all smooth sailing.
On the far side of that wall now it’s amazing though. I can read again and play video games again for longer than a simple phone game. Once you figure out the right balance for your body chemistry, you’ll be amazed you managed without it.
Honestly, my experience almost feels unique when looking online. However, after almost 30 years I have only experienced negative interactions on par with what my brother reports from civilian care.
Also, I wouldn’t be certain on your diagnosis without getting a professional involved. We thought my kiddo had ADHD. She had all my symptoms, but upon better scrutiny, she actually had a visual processing disorder that presents almost identically.
