The House introduced and passed 448 bills last year. 85 of those were passed by the Senate and 2 failed in the Senate. Another 9 are still bouncing back and forth as differences are worked out. That leaves 352 bills that have been ignored.

Mitch needs to go if we ever want to see things getting done again.
I went from Navigator to Communicator in the 90s, then Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox around 2002/3.
As my work started to demand more and more tabs be kept open around 2006, I became dependent on Tab Groups (first an addon, then integrated, then back to addon). Once the API change came and that functionality was lost, I struggled to find a suitable replacement, but eventually landed on Vivaldi. Vivaldi's tab stacks let me keep a similar process to what I had with Tab Groups on Firefox, and I was content with that for a couple years.
Then I switched to Linux on the desktop at home last year, and found Vivaldi frequently crashed. Worse, it usually lost my session in the process, so the 30-50 tabs I had open were all gone including any work-in-progress.
I went back to Firefox at this point and made use of multiple windows on virtual desktops to "group" my tabs. It wasn't as nice; and it's really irritating that the windows don't reopen on the same virtual desktops when closing and relaunching the browser (not a Firefox-specific problem); but it was good enough. Still, Firefox has long felt like it was just about to become a really polished browser in its next release, but never got there.
Lately I've been using Brave which I rather like. The built-in Tor and Bittorrent clients are great. The privacy controls work well and are easy to use.
That said, philosophically, Firefox is my home. I may yet end up back there down the road.
I came across this scan of a magazine spread for it a few years back:
Mine came with the CGA graphics card and color monitor -- FOUR AMAZING COLORS (including black)!
No, my pockets aren't big enough to fit any of the latest monstrosities, but I happened to want a new Nexus phone. I've still got a Galaxy Nexus, which is about as large as I can comfortably fit in my pocket, and it's getting a little long in the tooth.
I was hoping for a Nexus 6 mini, but no such luck.
you're a nerd, you know nexus exists, what's your excuse?
My pockets are too small.
We were talking about this at work not long ago. There's something very satisfying about the sounds of a 3.5" floppy disk/drive, both the ka-chunk of inserting the disk and the djjjt-djjjt... djjjt-djjjt of it being read.

The workaround here is to use keywords:
Click the engine dropdown in the search box and choose Manage Search Engines.
Create keywords for the search engines you care about (eg. 'g' for google, 'wp' for wikipedia, 'd' for dictionary.com, etc).
Perform searches in the Awesome Bar by typing "<keyword> <search terms>" and ignore the search box (except to configure more search engines and/or keywords).
The Invisible Pink Unicorn statue was built decades ago and nobody has complained yet.
I must admit, though, one of the best moments is when BBC revived Dr. Who and had an episode (maybe the first episode) where the Doctor takes Rose billions of years into the future, with the sun about to engulf the earth.
You're describing the opening scene of s01e02, The End of the World.
This is why you can actually say [homeopathy/snake oil/Magnet Therapy] etc. all are "scientifically proven to improve your outcomes" and be telling the truth.
Actually, you cannot say anything has been scientifically proven and be telling the truth because science has no proof mechanism.
The context menu search has always defaulted to the engine selected in the search box. Mine has remained set to Google and Ask.com is not even one of the options I have, so I'm thinking maybe something else has hijacked your settings. Either that or you've changed it yourself without realizing.
I haven't had HBO since I was a kid, so maybe things have changed, but isn't it commercial-free? Isn't that the whole point of paying the premium for it?
Perhaps some puff paint? Maybe some stickers?
