  • For me, it was Archer using any, and every, excuse to talk down to T’Pol. I’m not sure who was writing his character, but I would’ve preferred if they’d gone more towards Picard (TNG) or Pike (SNW), and less Kirk/Sisko. As the first human explorers in that part of space, I would preferred more reverence for what they were accomplishing, and less whining about Vulcans. The other characters were were way more enjoyable to watch

    TNG and SNW captains brought/bring a sense of awe with their exploration of the unknown, Archer just seemed like a kid who’s parents told him he couldn’t have ice cream for dinner



  • The last time I looked at containers I think it was an add-on, but I don’t think (and please correct me if I’m wrong), it filtered or made active the current viewable tabs.

    In Opera there’s an icon list on the left and depending on which one is selected those are the only tabs displayed, and/or made active. I’ll take another look at FF containers.

    Someone mentioned ‘about:profiles’ above, I think that may be closer to what I’m looking for, maybe that combined with containers can reduce my foot print to just Firefox, thanks for the suggestion







  • Squirt bottle for (olive) oil. It is a lot more precise than simply pouring oil out of the bottle the oil comes in.

    Electric kettle. No fancy features, just a switch to start water boiling, which shuts off once it’s at a rolling boil

    Multishelf airfryer. It’s great for roasting small batches of vegetables (baby carrots, potatoes, cauliflower etc) without the guilt of firing up the big oven. It’s also great in the summer because it doesn’t heat up my apartment

    1.5qt sauce pan. It’s great for heating up small batches of soups, bbq beans etc. This is what I used to heat the water for my tea prior to purchasing the electric kettle

    I pretty much use all of these on a daily basis

    Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):

    A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.

    “In 1942,” he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.

    At this point, several of the children giggle.

    I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

    At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, “I think I should point out that ‘Fokker’ was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company”

    “That’s true,” says the pilot, “but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits.”
