And it is still a memory hog. Now with multiple processes, it can suck up all of the RAM on my laptop, and I need to shut down Firefox to run some other application. As a workaround, I had to change the configuration to reduce the number of processes.
On my keyboards, I pop off the Windows keycap just because it is so annoying to have that damned start menu pop up if you accidentally click on the thing.
Too many of the articles seem to be things designed to "engage" people, and aren't terribly informative. And by "engage" I mean get people to start arguing.
They can use automated T-shirt cannons that automatically load and fire. The driver just does a slow drive-by, and fires the packages at the front door.
Mainly thing just soaks up all of the memory of the computer. It isn't like I have hundreds of tabs either - maybe a dozen or so. But I can tell from task mananger that it is consuming virtually everything - minus a little bit to allow Windows to function.
As long as I am just using Firefox, it works OK, but to launch something else, I usually start by shutting down Firefox.
Now that Firefox runs in multiple processes, it sucks up virtually all of the memory on the laptop. I oftentimes have to kill Firefox in order to run other apps on the laptop.
It didn't seem quite so bad when it was just one process - then it at least was limited to 2G.
Sysco is a big one, but they are not the only supplier out there, and many customers split their orders among several suppliers. In many areas there are smaller purveyors that specialize in ethnic foods.
A place like Chilis won't do this - they (along with a lot of other chains) have "dumbed down" the food because they think highly spiced food will put off some customers. So they make it bland. You might as well go to T.G.I.Fridays.
My old phone was a Galaxy S5. The issue was that it was short of RAM and short of storage. The thing was constantly swapping and slow has hell, and updating apps was hard because I was so short of storage.
But I upgraded to a reconditioned S7, for 1/3 the price of a new S9. I just can't justify paying for the brand new latest/greatest.
All of these sites are basically trying to "engage" you, so they promote more and more clickbait types of things to get more and more clicks. The more clicks, the more ads that they can push at you, and the more ads they push, the more money they make.
Being "engaged" usually means having an emotional response. You might be furious or outraged about something - that's the sort of thing you will post and share so that other people would also see the ads. Doesn't matter whether what they are saying in the video is true or not - they don't see it as their job to filter out nonsense. They see their job to get more clicks.
Something really dry and boring usually won't engage you, although if you were say trying to repair a laptop, then a video on how to disassemble that specific model might be rather engaging at least until you get the job done.
There are times that I think the people who create the content get their own rush from creating videos - they get a rush from seeing all of the people viewing whatever it is that they have produced, so they keep producing more. If there were no new videos, then youtube itself would slowly wither away.
There is in the article however, and they said that the dirtiest place in the airport are the self-ticketing kiosks. But I have known this for years - especially at Christmas time people drag their runny-nosed little brats onto airplanes, and due to the holidays people can't or won't cancel or postpone. I have even seen adults with runny noses going through the airports that time of year, so it isn't just the kids.
So the key is to use "best practices" going through airports. Wash your hands often, especially after touching things, use the hand-sanitizing stations if they are available, and make sure to avoid touching your face and especially rubbing your eyes.

It is funny - I find perl syntax hopelessly arcane, and then throw in the kitchen sink in the form of a bunch of extensions.
C++ is simple and easy by comparison.

What's the downside here?

Not always, but the quantities are much larger. Typically restaurants order by the case.
Do you salt your passwords with restaurant-grade salt?
Yeah, right.

Hilarity ensues..
Alexa, don't shit on the rug!
Alexa, whose a good girl?
2038 is when a 32-bit time_t overflows.
Or maybe the software they wrote for the application process is just buggy. Wouldn't be the first time that ever happened.

If the Earth were really flat, cats would have pushed everything off of the edge.
Not only that, but wait until they claim to have results on more than just mice.

I guess none of them were married then.
A human driver would have seen her and not hit her.
Seriously - anyone who takes below-market housing from Facebook of all companies should expect a double-dose of data collection.
There are too many stories that are clickbait.

That would solve the problem..
