Having grown up on a farm where we raised approx. 90% of the vegetables, 50% of the fruit, and 25% of the meat we ate, it is a hell of a lot more than a few hours a week. Unless you are averaging in the winter months of no weeding. Harvesting season though is practically every spare hour picking, peeling, canning, stewing, freezing, jelling, etc. You don't can 15,000 quarts of food from just a few hours a week.
For the record, I breath through my mouth because my nasal passages are quite narrow (as in, doctors have been surprised their probes don't get in very far without force), and they are usually full of mucus. It's been that way since I was a kid on a farm.
So, for all the posters who think "mouth-breather" is just a cute phrase to call somebody, kindly go fuck yourselves. For some of us, mouth-breathing is the only solution to suffocating.
Someone on Slashdot actually finally describes fascism correctly. And from the looks of it, it was written off the cuff, rather than simply cut-n-pasted from Wikipedia (not that I would trust their definition nowadays).
In addition, it was stated as a simple matter of information. There is no hint of judging whether the system is 'right' or 'wrong'; it just is what it is.
I think I stated my point badly. Yes, I also open many tabs while googling something, and then go through them after I have several open. If I was a student doing much research and often had dozens of tabs to sift through, I would certainly have one of those extensions.
The OP though sounds like he just routinely has dozens of tabs open all day long, all week long even, and that it takes all his system's memory. The obvious solution is the same of the old doctor joke: Doc, it hurts when I swing my arm this way.... Well then, don't swing your arm that way. You're cured. That'll be $20 dollars.
With hundreds of tabs, how do you even find the tab that you need?
That's why there are to many extensions to help manage dozens/hundreds of tabs. I agree with you though, there is no need for that many tabs all the time. I haven't heard a great explanation of it from anyone.
My android phone has a gmail account by default. I use it and my Yahoo account to send messages/pics from the phone. It's easy and free, so what's the worst that can go wrong?;^)
It is funny how you guys still can't understand that the housing bubble was a direct result of liberal Democrat policy. The recession would have happened even if Gore won the 2000 and 2004 elections. But if that had been the case, you would find some way to blame it on those 'evil Republicans'.
As for 'the recovery', what recovery? Pumping billions into Wall Street to keep the economy limping isn't a recovery.
Thankfully, I can honestly state I didn't vote for McCain or Romney. I voted for Obama in 2008, and Green Party in 2012. But who I vote for doesn't blind me to reality.
Again, you are describing 'mating rituals' and 'life-long pairing of mates'. Neither of those is a marriage. Animals that mate and pair for life don't go through a ceremony first, wherein other animals acknowledge and accept that pairing, with a justice-of-the-flock giving its blessing.
I'm finding it hard to believe that there was a legal structure developed 5,000 years ago that included marriage, yet that was completely separate from any religious or spiritual basis. Not just separate, but not even evolved from a religious or spiritual basis.
Church and state were tightly coupled in early human history (and many parts later too). That you don't find a legal framework completely detached from spirituality isn't evidence that there is causation between marriage and spiritual (Correlation does not imply causation). It's just evidence that church and state were tightly coupled.
That wasn't ledow's argument though. He stated "Marriage pre-dates religion."
For that to be true, it would require a legal framework (since marriage has to come from some authority higher than the couple getting married) that came into existence among a group of people, before that same group started to have religious or spiritual beliefs. And since it seems all groups developed religious or spiritual beliefs very early, his argument would require the date of creation of a purely civil government to be pushed back thousands of years.
Maybe ledow interprets 'marriage' as two people mating, or even forming a life-long bond, without any authority sanctioning it. But that isn't marriage, by any definition in common use.

Yeah, well, but how high can rabid reindeers count?
Just as long as it isn't a dessert topping, because that would be going too far.
I'd gladly take him as the Vice-President part of a split ticket, as per my sig.

With very sincere respect, I salute you sir.
Did everyone else hear the WHOOOSH over this guy's head?
Wait a second there. You don't believe that an organism becomes a person simply by riding down the magic birth canal?

I just installed Linux on a neighbor's PC, and found out that Flash is stuck on version 11.2 for Firefox, with no plans to upgrade.
Had to install Chrome just so she can play her flash games on Facebook.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to speed up the games? They run slower then they should.

You called?
If that car didn't have the optional pedestrian-detection feature, do you really think it had the optional positronic brain?
No, if there had been a Maximum Overdrive button, the car would have pushed it itself.

Relax Mr. Ballmer. It was a joke.
Please put the chair back down.
What if my dishwasher is old and not as good at washing dishes as new ones, ...
Divorce her and get a 13-year-old bride. They love cleaning the house.
They have filters?
More than one guy in that video was an idiot.

You're so funny. I love the way you pretend you can't comprehend details of what people write.
I can't wait to see more of your work. It's a hoot.
