Opera already was on its way into a death spiral. They decided they couldn't keep up with the pace development of other rendering engines with Presto, so they said they were going to clean-sheet remake Opera using Blink.
Well, what they really did was make a crappy Chromealike skin for Blink and give the middle finger to their loyal users. Why would you download or use this instead of Chrome/Chromium? It doesn't make sense.
Luckily, some of the original people have been actually working on a real "Opera on Blink" browser in the form of Vivaldi, which I'm really liking. Interface customization is getting better with every release, and it gives you lots of options to twiddle with (and can use some Chrome extensions). Highly recommended. I don't really know what anyone's use case for Opera would be, even on mobile it's basically just a barely modified Chrome. Maybe Opera Mini or something?
I still have my Kobalt metric wrench set, bought in the late 90's, stamped "Made in USA." The chrome hasn't even chipped or worn on any of it in close to 20 years. Their newer stuff looks totally different, although I haven't tried anything because my 90's USA-made Craftsman and Kobalt hand tools are still working (if not looking) like new.
My wife and I don't ever pre-rinse, leave the dishes sitting in there up to a week before we run the machine. Cheapo Kenmore with the smallest number of buttons.
Throw in a packet of soap. Runs on "medium" cycle. They always come out spotless.
Propane meets all those... except flammability, sadly.
But I never understood why it didn't catch on for home HVAC systems where we already often have gas lines full of flammable gas (sometimes even propane!).
I think Philips forgot the cardinal rule of technological trojan horses: make sure people are actually using your product BEFORE the dick lock-in moves.
$1.65/year sounds pretty reasonable for administration fees. I mean, it were $5/month or something that'd be abusive, but come on, $5 per 3 years? Of course, all my models and drone are http://www.modelaircraft.org/c...
If you want to fly at the park, buy a park flyer, not a big ol' plane/copter/drone/whatever.
There are great, AMA-sponsored clubs almost everywhere, and they usually have a nice, well-equipped location for flying, and sometimes cool events like indoor (gym) dogfights and all kinds of fun stuff. For instance, the drone racing nationals:
Fun stuff. The switch from local hobby shop purchaser being the norm, to Amazon "4.3 stars out of 5.0, I should buy this" purchaser is what's leading to all this crap, IMO.
And flying unregistered gives them a giant stick to beat your face into the ground with fines for failing to comply ($27500 civil, max penalty of $250000 criminal).
It's an anti-caking agent used in many spices. They probably aren't adding it to the meat directly, but as part of some pre-mixed dry spice package. It's absolutely harmless and inert, and even marketed for home use: https://www.americanspice.com/...
How about the plain old VW beetle? A design originating in the 30's as Hitler's pet project that turned out to be rugged and reliable enough to survive into the 2000s with only minor changes.

It works about half the time... I wish it worked all the time :-/

Mobile Firefox supports plugins, I have ABP on my Android that way.
Of course, it's slow as molasses and clunky to use vs mobile Chrome...
"and they do so without taking over massive swaths of land to the point that it's impossible to live in a city area outside of their rule"
ROFL Oh man, that's hilarious!
HOAs are exactly heavy-handed statism writ-small. If you really think they're a libertarian ideal, you have no idea what a libertarian ideal is.

That would be great, if spheroidal wasn't a word, and sphere and spheroid didn't mean two different things.
Sam
The earth isn't spherical, it's a spheroid.

UpEx FTW!
Keep in mind their drone prototype is a hybrid plane too... it should be able to glide on power loss.
200-400' altitude is an established right-of-way.
What software do you us on your phone to do the automation?

What are people on here eating???
Grams are a unit of mass, so... I would say your blimps "dry weight" (ie, envelope deflated) would be the number to go on.

I guess slashdot eats even reasonably short URLs now for some reason?
Whatever. Just go to http://www.modelaircraft.org/ and click the find a club search thingy.

The real solution? Reduce your ad load now, take the hit, and reap the goodwill of your viewers.
The MBA pretty much assures they'll take the "ever declining, add more ads to compensate" vicious cycle and eventual death spiral.

Why, my Farnsworth P-27 Stellarizor burns twice as hot on half the fuel as your cheap knockoff 7X Stellarator!
