    Oh, really? I'd love that. I've tried the addon but can't log in to it correctly. Maybe I'll try again.

    I can't quite figure out why bitwarden is an extension on mobile when it's also an Android app. I run the app and it does anything I can imagine the ff extension does.

    It actually is a new name for my. My Red[acted] username was different, and I decided Sisyphus was a fitting name for me.

    Yeah, I don't feel comfortable asking for the name for this reason.

    I tried to register here the other day with my preferred username, which was taken, so I replaced an S with a 5 as I've done in the past. Now I realize that might have been a bit deceptive - someone reading my comment might think it's coming from the other user or vice-versa, and I don't want to be that guy. What's the vibe here about that? Should I invite myself under a new name once I'm approved for invitations, or keep this username? I'd just DM the other user if that was an option on tildes.

    edit: Thanks, all! I'll keep it until/unless the other user feels strongly about it.

    Similar to math problems. A math book will provide simple solutions and proofs without attribution, but anything clever or significant is attributed to someone who came up with it first (or at least published it first). I think the same way about the code snippets ChatGPT can come up with.

    Live on their Throwing Copper tour in like 94 was incredible. And, you're not going to believe this, but MC Hammer also in the mid-90s. I've never seen a performer work so hard. The man knows how to put on a show and was not afraid to sweat for it.

    Not meaning to be critical of you here, but I always disliked that term. Underage women aren't women. They're girls, and we need to dial up the creep factor when we talk about this stuff.

    Larrivees are beautiful. I used to order catalogs from Larrivee, Breedlive, and Santa Cruz just to gawk at them. I've always wanted a hand-built acoustic by a local woodworker but never had the money. Once I had kids I quit playing as much, and now that they're grown and I have the time, the fingers have forgotten everything. I should start playing again but it's so daunting.
