This is a just a thought, FWIW. I'm not volunteering to implement it. ;) If there was a way of indicating what you've actually read, poor Tsaukpaetra would not have to like everything. I think it would be of value to the rest of us also. The existing forum software makes a valiant attempt to bring you to the last read item in a forum, but it's difficult for it to figure out where you were when you respond to replies, etc.

I recommend you go to meta.d and tell them you love their product and are trying to get your favourite site,
what.thedailywtf.com
, to switch to it. -

@hungrier Compare this with mac, where asking how to turn the light off, proverbially speaking, will get the fanboys tripping all over themselves to extol the virtues of sleeping with the lights on.

@kazitor said in “Just use Chrome”:
Atrocious injustices against the English language aside,
I find the best English is typically found in the works of those apologising for their English because they are not native speakers.

@Benjamin-Hall I recommend turning your notification volume up (or down) and catching some extra winks.
Is this home office or do they force you to come in?

Bricks/tiles look better, of course.
Because of their irregularity, bricks or tiles promote driving at slower speeds. You might claim the same effect on asphalt with potholes, but we don't design our roads for having potholes.
I also know some roads which are asphalt, but have had a brick pattern pressed into them for the same effect.
