That's a really inconsistent shitpost. Ranting about Chrome being a memory hog is fine, but if you do that you need to acknowledge that reskinned Chromium browsers (ie Edge and Opera) also devour ram as if you have a few terabytes of the stuff.
And then...
Quote: Java is pre-installed (read: you don’t need java), flash crashes constantly.
... wait what!?!?!?!??! Is this rant recycled from 2010 or something? Java's been banned from Chrome since 2015 unless you're using a dumpsterfire like IEtab (in which case a) you installed it, and b) it's IE not chrome); and flash was a few weeks from being removed when that was written and had been effectively dead for several years before then.

I got to the part about how much memory it uses and didn't bother with the rest.
That was the case several years ago. It is now far more memory efficient.
<shaming>
I know this, because I was shown the error of my ways in a technical debate I had a while back, when I suggested it was a memory eater.
</shaming>
It would want 8GB just to open a single default home page. Now It uses less that 1GB for the multitude of tabs that I have open at any given time.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth.

Chrome is still the only browser that will periodically freeze up for 10-30 seconds of apparent garbage collecting when reducing its memory footprint on my work machine from 10-12gb to 2-4gb.

Feel free to downvote if you consider this upvote driving. But if you like to play around with Mandelbrots, I've just updated my fractal browser so you can save and open fractals, among other items! If you are bored on a Saturday night, hope this alleviates your problem!
(It doesn't show as being updated, but it has a 1/16/21 update at the beginning of the article, unless CP hides revisions until after they've been reviewed.)

Thank you for pointing it out. They are now working, but I had to jury-rig them because CP's system seemed to be broken. I'll post it on bugs-n-sugs to prompt a final solution.

I think there must be something wrong, I keep on zooming and it is always showing the same shape.
|

Is this a real problem, or a subtle joke about the nature of fractals? Mousewheel zoom is all it takes. Of course, if you don't have a mousewheel on your system, you'll have to code up a different solution.

First time that my garlic comes up any significant, so I do not know if there is any relation between the thickness of the stem and the bulb size to be, but if there I may have some apple-size garlic bulbs down in the soil...

There are, of course, different breeds of garlic, but I've always found that the really grow best after a good solid freeze - often poking through the snow in late February. If it's elephant garlic, then apples sized is about normal (depending upon the type of apples you like).
Somehow, it doesn't seem like this post will be at all helpful.

I hope this garlic will be good with a bit of cold (3-5 C) as show and freezing cold is not guaranteed here, just because we call it winter

I don't really think so, no. I've grown heaps of garlic.
Size is also not an indicator of quality. I tell my wife that all the time

Yes, generally speaking the thicker the stem the bigger the bulb. You'll find out in the summer.

On the same note, if all politicians, bankers and lawyers were sitting in lifeboats on the North Atlantic in the middle of a raging storm, who would be saved?
The world.

Regrettably, even sharks won't eat lawyers, so some of them would survive ...

North Atlantic, rough waters and freezing temperatures. I don't think we really need much help from the sharks.

All those politicians - the volume of hot air would warm the water pretty quick, and the sharks would follow.
We'd need a lawyer seeking missile system.

I used to have connections, but why don't we just improve the plan? We need a big ship that seems unsinkable with security doors that help only if the water does not get over a certain mark and trap many peaople inside. Too few lifeboats would also help. Has anyone rebuilt the Titanic yet? Let's treat all those guy to the maiden voyage.

A CEO, a lawyer, and a priest, friends since college, are out on a boat deep-sea fishing. A squall rolls in and the boat capsizes, leaving the three men treading water. Fins start circling around them, hungry sharks.
The next day a Coast Guard cutter is performing search-and-rescue when they find the lawyer, the lone survivor, floating amongst the circling sharks. A young seaman asks the captain "Sir? How did he survive? Why didn't the sharks eat him like the other two?"
"Profesional courtesy", the captain replied.

it is called professional courtesy.
darn someone beat me too it. LOL

Problem is, all the sharks (fish type) would tow them back to land as a professional courtesy.
