1: You can't see fuck all in daytime outside - a place where you're quite likely to be using a MAP ffs. The contrast is abysmal, everything is light pastels, what kind of utter fucking moron says yeah, that's a good idea for a map. (yes I have a bright screen, but sunshine is much brighter).
2: Google uses street codes instead of road names, people in my country don't use these codes anywhere other than on motorways and large A-roads. The streets here have the road names at the end of most roads, they do not say shit like B2673.
3: Roads without code don't show names at all without a lot of faffing about zooming in and out and panning until you (sometimes) find the name. It's a complete waste of time.
4: Google deliberately never ever remembers anywhere you ever went in any useful way, sure I expect they actually remember everywhere you went and store that forever. Stick in a postcode, close the app, open the app 10 seconds later, stick in the very same post code and Google Maps has a memory worse than a dead geriatric.
5: Searching for locations can be piss-poor slow and will happily fail. It's pretty obvious google doesn't like people using it's service for free, the more you use it, the slower it gets and fuck you if you're not using the latest version of google maps or android.
6: It crashes often. About 1 in 5 times for me.
7: A new one, shitty annoying notifications - Adverts for things you pass on the map. The last thing you want when your navigating is your phone having random notifications, I've wasted time on several occasions pulling over to make sure it's nothing important, thanks google you arseholes. I did manage to turn these off (I think).
8: Extraneous bandwidth killing unwanted map features you can't turn off, IE 3D buildings. I don't need that.
9: That's just off of the top of my head, there's no doubt more.
You probably set an option aeons ago, I think a fresh Firefox install also closes the browser. But still, Firefox (Waterfox here) gives you the option.
I prefer Waterfox because it allows me to keep the classic look whilst having multiple processes. Which leads to the question - if Waterfox can do this then why can't Firefox?
$200,000 (per turbine pull-down) is a completely made up figure by someone who clearly hates wind farms - an anti-wind power NGO. All this rubbish about wind farms won't last 20 years, cherry picking, they scour the planet to find a few badly maintained low quality wind turbines to get that figure, 45 years is more realistic for new wind-farms. And considering the cost of larger replacement turbines a new company would likely pull down the old turbines just to get the rights to the area.
And all of this bullshit about wind needing tax subsidies when the fact is this is not true any more, wind is the cheapest form of power and in the future it'll still be the cheapest form of power even with energy storage added in.
I quote "For example, the copper in the wires used to transmit power from the turbine to the grid will have to be stripped of its plastic insulation, a task which would entail serious labor costs." Now tell me that doesn't sound like utter BS disingenuous facts twisting.
Indeed some of them lose less than 0.5% of their output per year, so they could still be supplying power 100 years from now. The worlds oldest solar cell is 60 years old and it still supplies power albeit very old technology so not supplying much.
I'm really liking Waterfox, it has multiple processes + Classic theme restorer works with it. It ported all of my firefox settings over very nicely, to the point it looks exactly like my old firefox which was heavily customised.
I never had a problem with Firefox being unstable, I expect any instability is caused by badly written plug-ins. I did eventually get tired of memory leaks causing Firefox to run out of virtual memory. Waterfox uses the same plug-ins but doesn't have the same issue.
Why use Chrome when there are nicer forks that won't invade your privacy as much? It mostly seems to me that people who switched to Chrome are mostly just drinking the kool aid.
Realistically I think Firefox lost market share because every time users searched for something with the default search engine they were offered a 'faster' browser. And google also advertises chrome outside of the internet, advertising works. Are there any polls on this that don't just poll techies?
People who obsess about SJWs are living in their own reality bubble, a bubble kept in place by right-wing media for the benefit of corporations and the super-rich.
This is the reason we need to able to mod articles up or down. Who-ever did this 'study' obviously didn't study very hard, seriously, did they even try to google the subject???????????
Sorry, how do you make concrete with nuclear power as an ingredient?
There are solutions to these problems and it's got nothing to do with nuclear power, nuclear power can be used to generate electricity, we already know how to do that cleanly.
It's not that much smaller, it's about half, half of extremely deadly is still extremely deadly.
"Nobody complains when that uranium goes out the smokestack of a coal plant into the air, "
Except they do, and they complain a lot about coal pollution. And if radioactivity was the only pollutant coming from a coal power station then no doubt people would still be complaining about it if they lived down wind.
Completely disingenuous, people don't buy loot crates for the normal level items which are often already available in game, they buy loot boxes for that little chance to win the high tier prizes/items And it doesn't matter whether or not they can sell these high tier items, the value is perceived and based upon 'coolness' and rarity. It is also based upon the fact that people pay for the loot boxes to get the items.
First off, yellow cake is unrefined, a lot of work has to be done to get the right isotopes out.
And then when the fuel goes through fission, numerous other isotopes of different elements are created, all with varying half-lives and emitting different radiation of varying levels. Depleted uranium is radio-active for billions of years and it's extremely toxic.
Gmail tags every damn email with 'Update' except they're typically not, it's just obsessed and can't leave my email alone, it's got to stick some stupid tag on it. Nothing smart about it.
I get emails I tag with 'gift' they're all very similar, does gmail do me a favour and tag the very similar emails with 'gift'? No, because it's not in the slightest bit smart.

I moved to Waterfox, works better than Firefox 56 whilst still allowing me to customise the interface with class theme restorer.
I'm really liking Waterfox, it has multiple processes + Classic theme restorer works with it. It ported all of my firefox settings over very nicely, to the point it looks exactly like my old firefox which was heavily customised.

I've switched to waterfox, best of both worlds, 1 of about 25 plugins stopped working (image-zoom).
People who obsess about SJWs are living in their own reality bubble, a bubble kept in place by right-wing media for the benefit of corporations and the super-rich.
You're obsessed. And apparently, you don't like justice. What is it about people who use the term SJW and rail against it?
Well, we're having a 'heatwave' here in London and the wind is pretty constant, was it supposed to stop?
I'm a fastidious almost OCD hand-washer, my hands don't dry out and crack.

And it was far too late, line rentals almost doubled before they did anything and they still haven't stopped line rental price increases afaik.

Do you work for a games company?

I'm going to assume that's sarcasm, yellow-cake and the waste from a nuclear power station are very different things.
The default should be what the majority if users want it to be.
It doesn't matter who's president, simple economics will result in solar power becoming dominant.
No, Pirate Bay will also have downloads available.
