Right there with you.

Don't use Chrome. It uses webkit, and webkit is really bad.

But... I like chrome.

[Bunk]

I don't use FF because its configured for our Payroll program and if I sneeze on it it breaks, and I don't use IE because we have to run IE 9 to use several of our tools. So yea. Chrome gets to eat my ram.

Bad about RAM use, or bad in general?

Problem with firefox is it keeps trying to be like chrome.  More than half of my add-ons and config changes have been to disable the shitty shit shit they keep adding.  Clearly we need a new hero to rise from the ashes.

Fake edit: Oh and a couple days ago fucking google slammed this obnoxious "set google as your default search engine" window in before my results.  I assume they did it because they saw I was using firefox and just assumed I went along with firefox's "hey now God damn yahoo is your search engine because they are paying us" scheme.  Despite the fact that I immediately googled how to disable that giant choose which search engine you use crap.

I should probably save my anger for more important and completely rational things.  Like when someone is walking too slowly in front of me because they are texting.

You are using that too?  

FF has a few issues. Most notable for me it seems one huge website (or malfunctioning flash video) can freeze the entire browser. On the other hand at least it supports multiple tab rows - unlike Chome. A very basic feature which I can't do without. I guess Google thinks the typical Chrome user never uses more than 20 tabs at once anyway.

This right here. I'm still using an old version because I'm tired of relearning the fucking UI.

This should be for you then. A Firefox 64-bit fork that doesn't use the new Australis UI and throws out some of the seldom needed parts (accessibility features, parental controls).

Oh crap, didn't realize this was the funny picture thread.  I will steal images from SA's osha.jpg thread to satisfy.

This isn't as bad as it looks because the bar he is holding apparently stops the chipper action:


Old crash test:


Long story after:


I have no idea if this is true I'd put the possiblility at 60%.

This comes under the heading "truth is sometimes stranger than fiction".

That is a TAV-8B assigned to VMAT-203 in Cherry Point. They experienced hung landing gear (repeat gripe on that jet) and contacted base for troubleshooting. The EP involves cycling some circuit breakers, cycling the gear, and requesting visual inspection. If none of that works (which it didn't), you blow down the gear.

At some point, the squadron let the MAG CO what was going on (for what reason, I have no idea). He was worried that if they blew the gear down and the nose gear still hung up, it would crack the frame of one of the scarce T-birds. He directed that the pilot do a gear up vertical landing. It would crush the strakes and probably FOD the motor, but it's better than cracking the frame. He directed the mattresses to be placed under the nose.

When the pilot heard about all of this, he refused to do it unless he heard it directly from the MAG CO. The MAG CO got on the radio and told him to do it. The landing was pretty unremarkable, despite the photos. The damage was limited to the engine (Fodded), and the strakes (crushed). Expensive, but not the end of the world. When they jacked it up, they we able to blow the gear down with no problems.

This is when the story gets even weirder. Once the jet was in the hangar, relatively undamaged, an EZ-go golf cart came flying into the hangar and smashed into the jet, causing some D-level repair damage.

It turns out that LCpl. Schmuckatelli was huffing keyboard cleaner before making his parts run in the EZ-go. He got really dizzy, lost consiousness, and the cart went out of control. It drove directly into the hangar at full speed through a gap in the hangar doors and smashed the jet. Like I said, the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. You couldn't make up something that bizarre.

By the way, the Harrier CAN land on asphalt (or dirt, or grass, etc). It just can't do a vertical landing on anything except concrete, steel, or AM2 matting. It will melt right through it. A Harrier at idle, with the nozzles in the hoverstop (down), will make a nice large pool of molten asphalt on a runway.

In general, also in RAM. Webkit generally renders stuff alright, but it's got rough edges that don't seem like they'll ever be fixed. It can be slow and tends to choke/fuck up GIFs a whole lot. Generally every browser I've ever tried that uses webkit or a variant of it tends to sloooowlllyyy bogggg downnnnnnnn over time, eat gigs of ram, or hardlock because someone posted a 3MB gif.

I dunno why anyone rags on firefox anymore consider it uses less memory than Chrome in my experience, and Firefox using too much RAM was like the only complaint anyone ever had about it. Gecko has its own issues but I've had better luck with it over all.

The funny is what the sign sounds out.

[K9]

The spectator who's rooting for the pins. The sign won't make sense to people who don't watch a lot of American sport (NFL mostly), sorry ><

[Ironwood]

Fair enough.

[Tannhauser]

The sign means 'Defense', which is funny.  Honestly, as a red-blooded Murican, it never dawned on me.  I guess I tune those signs out.  Or that I lack critical thinking skills that might endanger my long-term survival.
