I have at least this many tabs open in Firefox across my tab groups, the "Don't load tabs until selected" option in the general tab is really quite awesome.
Thanks for this!

... Nethack without spoilers. Without spoilers, not sure how you'd beat this.
That being said, I regret having the spoilers and forever depriving myself of the chance to do it. Is there any other nethack like game that would provide the same level of challenge?

I recently downloaded your rather interesting looking calculator, and so given your comment I tried it and must say it loads up pretty snappily! I was going to attribute this to it being read off an SSD, but it's actually on a rather old fragmented drive. So don't sweat it too much
PS After a little play, it seems like the calculator is in fact very nifty. Kudos!
