Just a nice easy Christmas and New Year, at home just me and my partner, no responsibilities, no social obligations, cozy pyjamas, playing games and relaxing together and generally living actual real life for a couple weeks instead of the constant treadmill.
Basically just an evolution of the same way I used my desktop 20 years ago. Always had this concept of an Internet-connected computer as a dynamic newspaper, windows were individual columns arranged around the page/screen. Used to be a bunch of IRC windows along the bottom of my screen, maybe a couple of MSN windows up the side, and one or two browser windows (substitute one browser window with an email client or RSS reader) taking up the rest of the screen.
Well now everything is javascript. Google had the same idea with Google Wave a few years later, they abandoned it, but the javascript future happened anyway. Bunch of tiny browser windows along the bottom of the screen for discord, two large ones across the top for everything else (webmail, content aggregators like lemmy have largely replaced RSS), and a couple more on a second monitor.
I don’t mind if it has a small library or lack of integration but it really sucks I can’t add a template and delete the image or have a dedicated meme template folder.
Electric heaters may actually cost more in electric bills than you would spend on heating. It depends on the type of heating and the size of your space, but something like natural gas might cost less to keep the whole house at 65 degrees, rather than trying to warm a single room from 45 degrees with a space heater.
This gets complicated. The small heater is almost certain to be resistive electric heat. Your central heat could be anything. In my area, the gas furnace is usually cheaper to run for the entire house than it is for a space heater in a single room.
OTOH, if you have a resistive electric furnace, your advice is spot on
I have a reoccurring dream, sometimes an actual fever is involved, sometimes it’s after I’ve just had a vaccine (maybe also a fever then?), but I’m always in some medieval or Victorian-era setting and it’s night time and there’s a full moon and I turn into a werewolf. I then go on a killing spree and kill people I know in the dream (no one I know in real life) in totally brutal ways with teeth and claws, and then the sun comes up and I turn into a human again and I realize what I’ve done and I freak out, and that’s when I wake up sweaty and panting like I’ve just run a marathon. It’s nuts and has happened several times.
I use multiple profiles. Got both personal and work ones for both me and the wife, close the windows when they’re not active, and they are set to keep track of the tabs. But keeping them open? Hell no. And I’m retired now. It’s been six months since I’ve used the work profile.
If you want to do profiles (in Firefox), add -p to the shortcut’s target line, at least in windows. I think. It’s been a while since I set it up. It’s -p somewhere
After closing a dozen left over from looking up various topics over the last few days, 164 tabs, some of which are probably 5 years old. I swear I’ll look at them someday!
Seldom more than 5 or 6 before using Firefox to ‘close tabs to right’. It keeps a short history of recently visited URLs in the toolbar, and a deeper, searchable ‘library’ of visited sites going way back. Longer term interests I save to Bookmarks.
I do when researching buying a product, having different tabs open comparing different models, with each their different stores and a bunch of reviews. You can easily get more than 20.
Same with researching a science topic.
But after being done, those tabs get closed. I rather start with a fresh browser each time.
