That all depends on how you use them. Personally, I use them mostly to follow branching threads here on./ and close them as soon as I've followed a branch to its end. Either that or to look things up in Wikipedia, such as expansions of an initialism, or the meaning of a technical term and again, close them when finished. I don't think that I've ever left a tab open and unused for hours at a time, because I don't see the point of it and, in fact, I don't understand why people d that. Having my open tabs reorganized by my browser would simple get them out of the order I want them in.

All this noise from Trump is intended to get you to forget about his ties to Epstein. Is it working?

Granted, the SCOTUS has already declared that laws do not apply to him, so it doesn't really matter. Nonetheless, he is wearing himself thin trying to run his own interference plays here.

That is an offense that has been committed by very nearly every automaker that sells cars or trucks in the US, and it is exceptionally well documented.

Today's Nissan Altima is larger than the Nissan Maxima of the 1990s.

Today's Subaru Outback is bigger than the Subaru Forester of the 1990s.

Today's Toyota Corrolla is bigger than the Toyota Camry of the 1990s.

It's just manufacturers responding to how they read the market. It doesn't mean it's right, it just is. But this is not a matter of just the big 3 doing it, everyone else is as well. Even Hyundai/Kia are selling large SUVs and several years ago they launched a premium / luxury line as well.

There are quite a few vehicles with CVTs but quite a few more that don't use them. My work car is a mass market 2025 Chevy Equinox and it has a regular automatic with real gears. Conversely I had as a family car a Ford Freestyle years ago that had a CVT, and it made it over 200,000 miles without ever needing any kind of transmission service (never even changed the transmission fluid). A CVT is not inherently a bad thing, depending on the application and manufacturer.

Some people just hate the American big 3 automakers, and will jump at any (perceived) opportunity to dunk on them. Don't bother trying to hold a discussion on this matter with them; they may be completely reasonable people in other aspects but they will keep telling you about how much they hated their mom's 86 Oldsmobile and how it somehow justifies hatred of every single vehicle ever made by the big 3, ever.

As far as Adobe Acrobat goes, have you ever tried Scribus? It's a fully featured FOSS page layout program that's used in a number of commercial roles and can do a few clever things that Adobe can't. If you really need a page layout package, give it a fair try; you might well find yourself liking it.

Various other companies have similar programs, either free or for $$$.

And, of course, the kids that need that training the most probably don't realize that they need it, and even if they do, they're the least likely to afford the ones that charge.

Some versions were better skipped, like 98 and 8.

Now there I have to disagree with you. Win 98 was what 95 should have been, if the devs had only known and Win 98SE was an excellent upgrade. I don't kow about Win 8 because I'd migrated to Linux long before that came out, but I found the various editions of Win 98 quite satisfactory, TYVM.

That's so true. It was probably best said back in 1949 in the song You've got to be Carefully Taught.

Funny, I grew up here in the USofA and have lived here for almost 76 years and I've never heard that before. And, although I'm a Republican, I've never hunted and I've never owned any firearms. I'm also not what you'd call a MAGA, but I am a 'Nam vet, and proud of it. Maybe you should consider checking your stereotypes at the door when you come here and remember, that not everything the Democrats tell you is true, just as much of what the Republicans tell me is hogwash.

I have no idea. I just know that the OP dragged them into the conversation in order to claim that all hunters are MAGA and that I called him on it.

No, I'm claiming that the OP not only doesn't know how many hunters are MAGA, he has no way to find out.

Given the number of hunters who are also MAGA...

And how do you know how many hunters are also MAGA? Is there something they have to list on their application for a hunting license that tells you they're MAGA, or are you just throwing insults a people you've never met because you (I presume) don't approve of hunting?

I wouldn't worry about that until Darth Helmet shows up.

Some day it might occur to you that the 40-year fight to overturn Roe and the ensuing laws restricting abortion are going to end up with women being prosecuted for having an abortion. But that probably won't happen until it affects you or someone close to you.

Arresting a woman who missed a period and 9 months later doesn't have a baby is certainly on the trend line.
