The judiciary process in general is very long. hence why some people actually want "Judge Dredd" to be a real thing.
If you work for #IBM, you're not allowed to use your personal email for anything not involving IBM
"As an IBM employee, you are not allowed to use your gmail account to work in any way on VNIC. You are not allowed to use your personal email account as a "hobby". You are an IBM employee 100% of the time. Please remove yourself completely from the maintainers file. I grant you a 1 time exception on contributions to VNIC to make this change."

Ive never used the 'save to pocket' and don't know anyone who has. id rather keep my view page info.
@abortretryfail @lynne@pars.ee
Context on the motivation for the decision:
...Also other browsers don't have this option.
84% of users who select "View page info" only do it once a month or less, which indicates that users either hit the entry to discover what it does or at least don't rely on it as a core workflow.

Context on the motivation for the decision:
The use of context menus is key to the Firefox user experience, our intention here is to reduce entries with very low use in order to make it simpler for higher usage entries to be more easily discoverable.
The "View Page Info" entry has a mix of low engagement (lowest engagement on the menu) along with availability of several alternate entry points to the feature.

I suspect that ancient understanding of speed/time were essentially equivalent. Considering the Roman Empire conquered a majority of Europe- it would not be surprising that some of its latin dialect was passed on in the process.
I apologize for the lack of background and research into the matter. I will however, welcome any insight into the matter.
@deesapoetra
you could always go to your nearest discount store and buy a bunch of cheap white boards to thumbtack/tape on the walls :D
then you can have a writeable wall of white!!
Being in the US, there are stores like Lowes and HomeDepot that can provide large, thin-enough whiteboards for low-enough cost that if one wanted to- they could envelope themselves in a labyrinth of expo markings.
fun fact about me:::
during my college days, I painted my room a navy blue so that I could use the walls/ceiling as chalkboards. Shortly after I left, the walls were repainted white even though I had washed off all my notes.
It wasn't that I was dedicated to getting good grades- I was dedicated towards understanding the world in which I lived in. I semi-intentionally personified it by turning my box of a room into a somewhat reflexive analogy of my perception. To this day- no matter what room I find myself in, I'm still in a box.

I'm missing a few other books from the collection- iirc a thesaurus, a dictionary and i think a household medical reference. They're heirlooms btw.

Mind whoever reads this, that as a poor college student surviving on a part-time job in silicon valley- i often torrented my textbooks.
@haveheart
im older than you and dont get the luxury of doing so because I WFH. On the flipside- i have the luxury of drinking while working without anyone knowing so long as I do f-up.
That being said, I am not saying I do such things. But I could.
@marathon
I can imagine the possible arguments the publishers would use....
"Our sales are suffering because of COVID"
"The rise of online learning has required us to reallocate costs in order to stay in business"
"We started implementing tactics to combat pirated material- and the rising costs reflect them."
All of which are b.s.

This isn't anything new in the US. College students have been complaining about this for years. It's only recently that it's affected grade school. Many of my college professors used to suggest older editions or subtly offer links to free and/or illegal copies.
