@hybotics I'm using Chrome & Epichrome on my Intel Macs to make a single-site browser out of cappuccino. When opened, it takes up less space than when I open Cappuccino in Safari. See screenshot.

Bastards. An app was free but now it's not compatible with Sierra. The new version is on the Mac App Store. For AU$31. Fuck that. If I need it, I'll boot up in a Yosemite or El Crapitan installation on an external SSD. Predatory-pricing-pricky-shits.
In Washington D.C., helicopters are often used to monitor the
traffic conditions. Frequently jammed is the Francis Scott Key
bridge, named after the man who wrote the national anthem. The
bridge's traffic problem is notorious; among some, it's known
as the Car Strangled Spanner.
@kdfrawg Soups & stews/casserole is all we use them (swedes) for.

@kdfrawg With the recent closure of two major fruit canneries in the last few years, the supply of clingstone peaches is quite limited. That's the variety that was supplied for canning. A big yellow/gold peach that resembled an overgrown apricot in appearance. They're still available in season, but in a selected few retailers.

Wonfering why the Magsafe connector in my hand wouldn't fit the receptacle in the MacBook Pro. Because the 2011 MBP uses the old narrow thicker MagSafe port. I was trying to fit the wider thin plug for the 2014 MacBook Air. Have to get a MagSafe 1 to 2 adaptor & stick it onto the old charger cable near the end so it can do both Macs.
Senators William Spong of Virginia and Hiram Fong of Hawaii
sponsored a bill recommending the mass ringing of church bells
to welcome the arrival in Hong Kong of the U.S. Table Tennis
Team after its tour of Communist China.
The bill failed to pass, cheating the Senate out of passing
the "Spong-Fong Hong Kong Ping Pong Ding Dong Bell Bill."
Do you know someone who seems to know everything?
When asked why, they say, "A little birdie told me."
Did you know they probably aren't lying? It is a little known fact that there are little birds that fly very fast, are never seen, and they are everywhere. - Thus, these creatures are called "Flies Unseen Everywhere" or FUE for short. These birds have an extensive communications network, and they can generally find out anything from anywhere quite quickly.
Some of these birds befriend certain individuals and communicate with them by making clucking sounds, much like a chicken.
They are not dumb like chickens, however, and can establish a sort of clucking language with the lucky person they befriend.
This person is then the one who is always in the know; one step ahead of the competition. And those people who seem to be in the dark? Those who just don't get it? Those who's standard response to any given question is, "Huh?"
Why I think it should be pretty obvious to all, now, that the reason is simply because they don't have a clucking FUE.
