I have 60-100 movies and TV shows in my DVD queue at any given time. Netflix tells me which are streaming (to try to get me to sign up for their streaming service). There are easily less than 1% on my list available streaming at any given time. Their streaming catalog is almost useless to me.
I pay for 3 discs at a time, and I'd pay for 4 if they'd let me.
American cheese is 50% extremely mild cheddar mixed with 50% colby, often dyed orange with beta-Carotene (carrot extract) with a simple emulsifier added to prevent the oils from separating out of the comparatively fatty cheddar portion. When done properly (sharper cheddar, no dyes) it can be a decent cheese for a few specific things, even if it is on the extremely mild side.
There are of course much worse examples. If you're getting your American cheese individually wrapped in plastic (or from a fast food joint), you're getting the worst food the FDA will acceptably allow them to call "cheese" (instead of "cheese food") which is filled with preservatives, loaded with all of the emulsifiers, yoga mats, and who knows what else.
I'm not saying you'll like American cheese if you try even the high quality stuff, or that it's good for more than one or two uses, just that those of us in America who like cheese also feel your pain. And I wanted to explain what it actually is, since "American cheese" doesn't immediately provide any information to a cheese-lover.
My experience is the exact opposite. I've been using DuckDuckGo since I moved away from AltaVista, and it has always provided me with the results I desire.
This is just one example, but search Google for "how many stars in the solar system" and the first handful of results are not related, and the quick-answer is absolutely wrong. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+many+...
It sounds like you want their DVD service. It isn't all-inclusive, even for US-made stuff, but I bet it covers 99% of what you're looking for. It covers 95% of what this movie buff wants. Streaming on the other hand has about 10% of what I want to watch.
Here I am, just hoping they'll offer a 4-DVD package, because 3-at-a-time often isn't enough for us. Where's the DVD 'Ultra' package?
Pale Moon is a true fork of Firefox that I've been using for over 3 years now instead of Firefox. It maintains XUL support as one of its main goals, and plenty of Firefox add-on creators have moved over to it. It also maintains the fully customizable UI from earlier version of Firefox.
I'm not sure about the future for Web Extensions in Pale Moon. I know they are working on a move to UXP (Unified XUL Platform) which possibly includes Web Extension support? It's worth a look for sure.
You're assuming every change that makes it to Firefox ESR is desirable, and couldn't possibly be a show stopper.
After two or three of such changes, the last one was ultimately my show stopper, and Firefox was no longer a viable option. It happened to others before my switch, and it has happened to others after my switch. At some point, they may finally change something you care enough about to abandon.
Personally, I like the idea of tying it to Firefox releases, and their insanely high version numbers at that.
If $59 is too much, then cut it in half, or if that's too much, just do $5.90, or figure out your own rubric if you want to donate similar to how I do.

The book Ready Player One is more of an MMORPG fantasy than proper Sci-Fi but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I've waiting for the movie to come out. If you've ever been sucked into an MMORPG like I have (Diablo 1, then Ultima Online, then EverQuest) then you'll likely enjoy the book. I'm hoping the movie will live up to the book. Lately Hollywood has been mostly good at bringing books to the screen (Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, etc.).
"Emoji" is both singular, and plural. Just like "sheep" or similar. It is a Japanese word; a language where all nouns are singular and plural. Can we keep the "S" out of it? I ask just this one thing, please.
I'm not sure if this helps you ditch Microsoft, but as a photographer who refuses to get into the Adobe world for many reasons, I've been very happy with RawTherapee as a replacement for Adobe Lightroom.
Tony is well known in the photography/tech world, and uses Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom almost exclusively in his workflow (to give you an idea of where he's coming from).
It's well known that Trump won the election in no small part due to inexpensive, highly targeted Facebook ads. Presumably the next opponent who can work that in a better way could win. Time to shut that door while he has the chance?
I could have sworn Massachusetts passed a consumer protection law a while back that required any and all consumer products to be covered by a 4-year warranty, regardless of how that product is covered in other states. I can't find anything on it though. Anyone else remember this?
It's 50% due to the limiting of lead in the environment, and 50% due to legal abortions.
Both produce a strong drop in violent crime ~18 year after introduction in an area, independent of other factors.
You're a few years too late with this worry. We are solidly in the middle of "best viewed in Chome" websites. Use a standards compliant browser off the beaten path and you'll run into all sorts of barriers you can't get around and sites that don't work well, all because they are wittingly or unwittingly designed with Chrome in mind. It is awful, and as a web developer I feel it is no longer responsible to build or test with Chrome.
I finally had the opportunity to write my preferred password enforcement when it came time to update a site I work on.
I got to what I believe it the root of the issue. What do we want? We want a password that would take a long time to guess. How long? Well that's easy... Take Hashcat's current hashing speed for your chosen hashing algorithm (hopefully including iterations) on an enthusiast cracking setup (8 x $1,000 GPUs) and extrapolate the speed of the machine in the future using past speed gains (I came up with a simple curve from 2006-2016) so the algorithm doesn't need tuning in the future. Once you know how many hashes you can guess per second with this, you can take the proposed user password and figure how many seconds it would take to guess at worst case scenario. We insist on 200 years to guess the password and we're off to the races!
There are no character limits on length or what type of characters, etc. SUPER long passwords are fine. ALL special characters are fine. If you want a password with all digits (the least secure) that's fine as long as it is long enough. The way things work out with the 200 year requirement the actual shortest password you can have right now is 8 characters, but that's a side-effect, not a limit. If we upgrade our hashing algorithm that would go down. Or if computers got slower... =P
While Pale Moon is based on the Firefox code-base, it had made its own path now and could better be described these days as a classic Firefox experience with bleeding-edge security under the hood.

According to LEGO themselves, common decency, and common English grammar.
LEGO is both singular and plural, like sheep, or sushi, or Kleenex (if you want another good brand name to compare to).
I have a pack of LEGO, that my herd of sheep carry, while I feed them sushi and hand out Kleenex. This isn't rocket surgery.
I grasped the railing of a stairway attached to a building that weighs 8,675,309 times my weight this morning on the way into work. Whoopty poop?
