That happens to me a lot too.
I also agree with you about the questions here, fully.

Just be sure to check Can I use... because a lot of the CSSOM isn't available outside of Chrome, Edge and Firefox

Looks like some of them were snapped right when they had a short look into the Q&A section.

I was about to say something a bit less nice about those monkeys and Q&A, but I shall try not to.

Have you played it? It seems like a simpler (maybe?) version of Eve?

No, didn't download it, still have a pile of space games I didn't play yet.
Strangely one of my favourites is an open source game: FreeOrion

You might be interested to know that Master of Orion 1 is free now, and MOO1 and 2 are both available for playing on the browser. I don't have any links here, but I guess they shouldn't be hard to find.
I did check out FreeOrion some years ago, but my impression was that of a nice UI, but unfinished game. Is it finished, then?

You can dowload the old Master of Orion games here: GamesNostalgia - master of orion[^]
Although the version number of FreeOrion is very low, it is as good as bug free and perfectly playable

That doesn't sound like the game I've tried. Might give it another chance ... once I get tired of Stellaris

FreeOrion is great! Easy to play on the Surface while sitting by the TV with the wife.

As long as you don't scratch the surface of the wife of course

Same here. I was going to point out that if even MS rolled that sort of offering back, who are these guys to try it...?

Thanks for posting, I'll check it out tonight. I'm only confused about the 'subscribe for 12$' button on top of that page - does it mean that newsletter subscription costs money? That could hardly be called a freebie, if that's the case.

That's only if you want "Battletech" apparently, freebies must be er... free !

Quote: Three lenses are a lot better than two - unless they send you reeling in disgust.
That's the unexpected reaction thousands of Apple fans shared on social media as images spread of the back of the new phone, where the trio of lenses are crowded into a small square near the top left corner. The backlash comes from people who say they suffer from an obscure and perplexing condition called "trypophobia" - a fear of clusters of small holes like those found in shoe treads, honeycombs and lotus seed pods. Essex University Professor Geoff Cole, a self-diagnosed trypophobe and researcher in the United Kingdom who studies the condition calls it "the most common phobia you have never heard of."

I have a suspicion the whole article is a hoax.

It's may not be a hoax. Trypophobia[^] has only been discovered (recognized) in the Web age because although many people suffered this they felt like they were alone in the odd revulsion of these types of things.
My wife had mentioned it to me years ago and then I picked up a magazine one day (7-10 years ago) and it discussed this issue. I tested her with a lotus blossom seed pod[^] and she had a huge reaction. I felt bad at the time. We were both amazed that it was a thing. I believe that seed pod is what made a lot of people on the web to start to notice it was a more common experience.
I mentioned it to a co-worker and she said, "yes, I hate it!" It's prevalence is higher among women. The coworker mentioned making a cake where she pushes holes into the cake and pours chocolate and she said she gags the entire time she is making the cake.
It's an interesting phenomena.
