14 to 16h is too short for a default. Not everyone will (or even has) the ability to take out their smartphone multiple times per day every day to catch up with the news. Someone who will only read it during the evening, would need posts to stay up 24 to 26h. So that to me is the minimum. Personally I don’t mind if they stay up longer, there might be new interesting top comments if the post itself stays on top longer.

I found that Qwant gives decent results in my native non English language, results similar in quality to Google, but way better than DDG which often just gives English results.

Not until I searched for “restaurant town name” and got as results tripadvisor.com, tripadvisor.co.uk, tripadvisor.ch, tripadvisor.fr *5, … ;)

But in another search it did way better than duckduckgo. So it’s not perfect, but definitely good enough to try as main search for a while :)

Just gave it a quick test drive it and it’s pretty promising, thanks for the tip.

Not knowing how much is not that big an issue. If it’s too much, then it becomes an interplanetary ship. If it’s not enough, then it will come down soon enough and we can just try again on an another volcano. It’s probably going to require a bit of patience from the crew, passengers and offspring, but eventually there will be a big enough eruption and it will all work out smoothly in the end.

Why has noone ever experimented with placing a very large spaceship in the mouth of an active volcano? And when erupting, the space ship would fly to space without needing any fuel. No resources wasted on multiple stage rockets just to carry up fuel a few km, all that’s needed is an enormous spaceship in the shape of a cement plug.

The task manager in win 8 wouldn’t stay/come on top if there was a frozen program. This would make the new task manager unusable to kill the problem program. And then the half-assed solution of preemptively enabling always on top did not even work reliably. A pretty fundamental issue, which for me far outweighed whatever improvements that new task manager contained.

I’m going to second this: a few pairs of Crocs, each placed at a strategic exit and going outside for a few minutes is no inconvenience at all anymore. For anything that takes longer than that, I put on suitable footwear for whatever I’ll be doing.

Calling it incognito has really mislead a lot of people apparently, guest mode is the best alternative name that I’ve seen so far. I occasionally use incognito to log into personal services on other people’s devices, which kinda makes me a temporary guest on that device. Guest mode doesn’t feel 100% right as a name either though.

So cats are ok with us tripping over them, as long as we profusely apologize afterwards, interesting :)

It sounds like the 2 cats count on the smart cat to get the door open for them. They have no reason to learn as long as the present system works.

My last cat had 100% faith that he would be completely safe when I was near, basically trusting that nothing bad could happen to him. If he was lying on the leather couch, stretched or turned and started slowly sliding (more like flowing like a liquid) out of the couch, then he’d not react, he’d just continue sliding until I caught him and put him back on the couch. The kind of trust that a toddler can have in the infallibility of the parent to catch them. As long as it never gets betrayed, they don’t lose that trust.

I imagine that if I had been clumsy around him: tripping over him when he was standing in the way or not always catching him, that he would have lost that trust.

The cat before that only was adopted when he was already older and more world wise, he was always attent and seemed aware of the size difference and the possibility of accidents if we were to trip over him.
