Nope, in the USA there are classes of planes which require absolutely no license or training to fly. They are called "ultra lights"

As the following website points out:

> Even though you don't need any kind of license or certificate to fly ultralights, training should be considered absolutely mandatory.

eaa.org/eaa/learn-to-fly/compa

The requires a 70% to pass licensing tests.

This appears to be, in large part, because the tests are absolute garbage. They are ambiguously-worded, they have questions about ratings you're not even trying to get, and the charts they provide have larger margins of error than the gap between answers.

If this test weren't so incompetently assembled, they could require 90% to pass and have more qualified pilots as a result.

@LouisIngenthron Not even surprised...

Better yet, just fly a class of plane that requires no licensing of any kind!

To pass the test to get a pilot's license, you need to know the scientific names of each of the 23 different types of fog, and be able to write a dissertation on how and where and why each one forms.

When flying a plane under a VFR license, all you really need to know is that you should avoid fog.

I am so tired of UberEats and other deliver services charging me both tip and fee before delivery... screwing up my delivery, then refusing to refund me because it happens too often and they assume im just lying...

From now on i will just move to cash only deliver on UE and inspect the food, if anything is wrong i will refuse delivery.

Kinda defeats the purpose of using a no-contact service though.

@antipode77 Yea i looked at those addons.. sadly they dont provide what im asking for (tab groups) but rather a totally different uI mechanism that is far less usable.

The real medical conspiracy is the fact that they make at-home blood pressure cuffs so damn hard to get on yourself that by the time you take your blood pressure it has doubled out of frustration...

@antipode77 oh if its just on android though that doesnt help me. my issue is on linux

@jrdepriest shouldnt be something that is forced of course, nothing wrong with that... though you may be thinking of high magick and not thinking of low magick as magick (not that our definitions need to agree)

@jrdepriest I think thats a fine view (and not limited in scope to Pagan views)... I guess it depends if you define pagan as "non-abrahamic religions" vs religions/views that have a concept of magick (which seems to be a more common usage)

@cobratbq Oh absolutely... and I do want to try to get past this work around... but sadly i cant see a solution that I can live with.

@cobratbq hahaha probably... I was really excited about librewolf too (FF based)... so its been an emotional day lol

Poor tab management in firefox (both natively and when considering extension options).

Two major deal breakers for me.

1) Tabs do not resize as you open more. So once I hit about 20 tabs the rest scroll off the screen. As someone with ~100 tabs at any time this is completely unmanagable.

2) Lack of any native tab grouping (in a collapsible way) which may have addressed 1 to some degree, and is a needed feature on its own. Extensions do exist but none of them add the feature to the tab bar, all require convoluted UI elements that would be tedious and hacky/workaround at best.

@jrdepriest Yea.. only suggestion i saw was "why not multiple windows"...

I wouldnt mind trying an extension if one looked like it had a good interface... but all of them look quite annoying.

@jrdepriest they seem to get half way there with container tabs... they just wont let them collapse...

Really a shame because i like a lot of the other aspects.

@antipode77

Is this what you mean by collections?

support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/h

If so, unless I misunderstand it, it doesnt appear to have any relationship to tab groups (the ability to collapse similar tabs into one tab in the tab bar itself, rather than some other window or menu)

@antipode77 Collections are not a native part of firefox or librewolf. You are talking about an addon/extension.

See here for my comment about the various extensions that add this:
