uBlock origin does not accept donations. I would have loved to donate to them, but they don't.

Other thing I have started doing is to stop doing any upgrade for things that are already working locally. Example: no more upgrades for HP printer software.

I tend to agree with the sentiment. The only reason I subscribed to ProjectionLab was to appreciate the hard work of Kyle. Otherwise, "New Retirement" (now called Boldin) serves my purpose. It provides similar features and it provides automatic updates too.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just tried Boldin and it looks good, but seems to be US-centric? I'm in the UK and it didn't model my situation very accurately unfortunately

This is really fun. My score was 4307 (top 12%) with average 5.8 years off.

This reminded me the commercial "I am not a lawyer, but I did stay at Holiday Inn last night".

You may win the judgement in small claims court, but how will you collect? That is another dilemma.

Isn't this where the hilarious "sheriff showed up at the office, graciously giving them 30 minutes to cut a check before he started to confiscate the chairs" stories come from?

Given that ticketmaster and live nation own venues all over the place, you should have somewhere for a sheriff to enforce a judgement.

What would be the problem? I imagine it'd be straightforward but I'm naive about this stuff.

I have a basic question somewhat related to this topic. When I am using Mullvad VPN, many websites block access. (E.g. Lowe's or Michaels.com etc). They force me to disable VPN and I don't like it.

My question is how do they detect that I am using a VPN and is there any workaround to access their site when I continue using VPN?

I believe the websites subscribe to a universal list of IP-adresses that are associated with major VPN-providers, and some entity maintains that.

You might be able to get around this by paying a provider like ProtonVPN extra for a static IP outside of the known range associated with ProtonVPN

Thank you for the wonderful tip. I am going to order these coins to handover to kids for Halloween. I am sure that they will love this unusual gift.

I am offering each visitor two candies, and the option to instead receive a half-dollar for each rejected tooth-decayer.

Yes, I'm the "full-sized candy guy" because I don't want the neighborhood kids vandalizing / stealing from my vehicles. Yes, I'm that old. Yes, my neighborhood is that sketchy.

A price I'm willing to offer. So far, no burglaries (and I leave the doors unlocked).

Honest question: Can you tell me how to increase the scrollbar size of Firefox browser on a Pop!_OS operating system?

Does the suggestion in the article not work? There are few options in about:config for scrollbars so I'd look at the others too. If that doesn't work I'd bet https://old.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/ has a solution.

edit: https://old.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/15kk98z/how_can... looks promising

Thank you for your reply. I tried several options and finally found a setting.

I changed the setting for widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override from 1 to 50 and it increased size.

The initial value of 1 was confusing me because I kept thinking it is Boolean 1.

Posting a solution here in case someone else finds it useful.

That is confusing... I'm not sure what the unit of measurement there even is. Something like pixels would be nice, but that can't be it with a default of 1!

about:config is invaluable, but better documentation on the options would really be nice.

The suggestion in the article did not work for me — Firefox 118, MacOS Ventura.

3% of 1 million is $30,000 not $60,000. Similarly, 3% of 100,000 is $3000 and not $6000.

But I agree with your overall sentiment that the real estate market is a cartel.
