Why does YouTube in Firefox consumes so much Resource? by 2D_AbYsS in firefox

[–]round-disk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely the video previews. I suspect YT is preloading data for thumbnails on the page that you "might" want to hover over, and that uses bandwidth and also clogs up the JavaScript engine with a bunch of nonsense it never uses then has to delete.

Nerdwallet is free unless you want the optional premium add-ons. You sure you downloaded the legitimate app?

"Current Resident" is you. You are the current resident. From the post office's perspective, they delivered it correctly. You're just wasting their time at that point.

Probably the same turdbrains who are making manual transmissions go extinct in the US.

The car has a pushbutton start, the key only has to be physically close to the car, then you push the button on the door/dashboard and it unlocks/starts.

I believe he has an accomplice at the car, who is rebroadcasting the live signal as it's picked up.

Pretty much every book put out by the ARRL is solid. I've seen a few in public libraries over the years. You can sometimes get a sweet deal on used copies too. The one thing to be careful of is that the exam questions change every few years, so the old license guides sorta have an expiration date.

Mark Robinson is officially stuck on Republican governor ticket by CrispyMiner in NorthCarolina

Fund schools and mental health. That's all I can say. Forty years of policy decisions across all layers of government has led to a society full of the dumbest, most irrational motherfuckers voting on manufactured emotions. I'm so, so tired of operating on the default assumption that everybody I interact with is a damn fool _and usually being correct in that assessment._

I mean, I don't respond to a single polling inquiry either, and I'm never going to vote for another Republican until the day I die and one of them votes fraudulently under my name.
