testing, does it show up in quotes? Looks ok in preview...
Edit: yes. Short quote height cuts off the volume popup, though.

Probably the first test of this functionality.

Volume popup?

If you click on the speaker, a volume control slider pops up. The top part is cut off.
@boomzilla: old version of Chrome on Linux. Hmm, on Firefox there's no volume slider, the speaker just turns on and off.

Based on the fact that your post contains file:///home, I'm gonna hazard a guess that you're using gecko?

@boomzilla: old version of Chrome on Linux.
On my current version of Chrome on Linux, it looks like what @ben_lubar posted. FF also has a horizontal volume control, though it's different.

Woke up this morning with but a single thought in my head, and it needs to go here:
peanut-butter and grape jelly flavored after-dinner mints.
(Actually, there were other thoughts, but they were all bound up in the revisionist Monty Python videos I was watching in the last few minutes of dreaming.)

Sometimes, even crazy people are right:
'let's promote traditional aspects of masculinity by pretending it's harmless! let's glorify large beards, because only 'real men' have huge amounts of facial hair based on their level of testosterone! let's make something seem harmless to give credit to a bunch of cis white men for no reason other than to uphold European beauty standard'
this shit is as transparent as the people promoting it. it’s the same as normcore, glorifying behaviors typical of people in white hegemonies.
take this ‘real men’ shit and go elsewhere stop trying to make what white men like fashionable thanks
NB: the bold part is what he got right, because now I'm being accused of being a lumbersexual hipster.
-
I wear a beard because shaving sucks, not because of some European beauty standard. We beard-wearers face greater discrimination, higher criminal conviction rates, people find us less trustworthy. Smoothies need to check their privilege.
-
What about beard-impaired individuals?
-
If you are the smooth faced variety you should count your blessings for not needing to shave.
If you're of the tufty variety, despair that you will need to shave forever.
Either way you will never be burdened with a full, luxurious beard.
-
I have a few hairs in the face area, but most of them ended up on the top of my head.

"Hi, I'm a Mac."
"And I'm a PC."
"And I'm Linux."
"No, he's GNU/Linux!"
"I'm a fucking human being. Why are all these people pretending to be operating systems?"
-
Definitely on the tufty side. I keep it smooth most of the year, but I do grow a playoff beard.

When I shaved my head, I looked like a walking mugshot. Now I'm evolving into Rasputin.

@tufty, people are talking about you.

Honestly, I tend to look like a Hell's Angel when I'm wearing contacts. Or a professional wrestler. In particular:
...but more gut, longer beard and less upper body strength.

When you're older, Ben, when you're older... ;)
Actually true. Decades in, I now have to shave every few days instead of every couple of weeks. (On the non-beard growing part of my face.)
So. There is still Hope.
-

Meh. I shave in the morning, and in the evening I already have stubble on the cheeks.
Even worse with the electric razor, but it's so convenient I don't care too much.

Where is the nixon bot when we need him?
-
Nearing 30, can get away perfectly fine in a job where I have to look relatively smart by shaving once a week.
Also, if I remove my goatee and moustache I look 14 again and can't get served for alcohol or tobacco anywhere. It's even worse if I just remove the goatee, since my moustache genuinely does look like what a teenager grows to look older when trying to get beer.

moustache
i've never been able to read that word without giggling...
my brain always rewrites it as: mouse-stache

I'd put this in evil ideas, except no sharks were involved:

About the same here. I look at least 30 with facial hair and around 17 - 18 without. So I keep it.
When I cut my hair I use 1/8" clippers on my entire head. I've noticed I'm much more likely to be carded right after a haircut, and I pretty much never get carded when my hair's on the long side.

I never get carded when my hair is long, but always do when it's short. I haven't been carded in a while, but I did get a haircut last night, and shaved, so that will change soon.

Hah. I haven't been asked for ID since I was 14 (with legal age being 18). The one time I actually was, I was so genuinely confused by the question that the cashier just gave me the smokes. I haven't even been carded in the UK, even though they allegedly are supposed to ask anyone who looks under 25.
Even today I usually get confused looks from people when I tell them their guess of 27 is about seven years off.

Don't worry. When you get older, they'll migrate (from your head). You know, to your ears and nose.

No. They aren't.
Not by law anyway. It's some bollocks invented by some civil servant or fake-charity to give the impression that they're doing something about "under age drinking/smoking."
I regularly drink with an 18-yr old - I've seen them being carded exactly once.
-

I suspect it's more human psychology related, so that they can ask people for ID without offending them. If I'm 24 and I get carded, I'd much rather it was because I looked under 25 than under 18.

In my state, the ABC (Dept of Alcoholic Beverage Control) has handed out stickers telling cashiers to card anyone who looks like they're under 30 (legal age 21). I'm nearly twice the legal age, and someone recently carded me. I also have a big beard that's mostly gray. I was amused.

Yeah, there's a point where it gets ridiculous...I've seen that point ignored many times.

When I was working in a gas station I had some guy in the middle of the night come in, who ranted--raved--about how he was sick of being carded every time he tried to buy, because he was in his 50s, by our competitor.
I said, look, given the fines, and how people are shitheads[1], we have to ask at least once. But I told him that if he kept coming here, once I recognized him I wouldn't ask him.
[1] If someone underaged tries to buy and watches a wizened 90 year old with no hair and a cane not get carded, he'll demand you not card him either because it's not fair. I countered that if they were willing to pay the thousand dollar fine for me if I got caught, I'd sell to them. Oddly, they never took me up on the offer. And where I worked, the cops did run random checks. You can argue with me all you like but I'm not going to jail for you and nothing you can do or say that doesn't involve a club or gun etc will change my mind.

I like those people. I have a ton of local spots where I'm common enough that I never get carded. But it always throws me off when I recognize the bartender from multiple visits, and they still card me.

While it's still cool, I'm always a bit let down when I dig into a story and realize it's not a manned landing on the moon.
