Well it is apparent that Microsoft have begun the dark pattern of importing your default browser or chromes bookmarks to edge beta.. it is easy to delete it at one go..and continue using chrome...well since it is beta we have to wait and watch ...maybe ... when its final...it will import everything and delete chrome from your windows 10 so that it regains the market share gain.... also there are some services that get installed mind you...

Is this the new Edge that's based upon Chrome's rendering engine?

I guess it must be. II'll soon know if runs dozens of processes and bags all the memory!

Since not many people use Edge in all likelihood they just did a search for any other browser installed and assumed it was the default.

The Terror (AMC series) was a fun watch. The first season covers the story of the expedition, with some supernatural elements thrown in.

Tomorrow in Terneuzen we celebrate 75 years of liberation, and our special thanks go out to the Canadian and Polish troops that liberated this southwestern part of the Netherlands.
Hope to see you there, even the king will pay us a visit

Wow that site made me realize that there is a whole lot I do not know about WW2.
I always assumed Scandinavia was spared from the fighting because I had never before heard of their involvement. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Fighting in Scandinavia? Sweden was neutral, but I don't know of any allied invasion of Norway or Denmark. I thought the Germans just pulled out as the war reached it's end.

Norway and Denmark stayed occupied until the end of the war.
Sweden wasn't occupied because it wasn't necessary, I strongly doubt neutrality had much to do with it.
Purpose of occupying Denmark was to get control over Öresund, easier to take Denmark than Sweden, and one shore is enough for the purpose.
The occupation of Norway was a preemptive strike to take control over Narvik, the main export harbour of Swedish iron ore, before the British did. Yes, there were plans for that.

Yes, I know, that is what I said.
I was asking if there was any actual fighting in Scandinavia or did the Germans just pull out.

Will it show that Merkans were the true heroes, Billy Bob Buttboy was the pivotal reason they won and that Merka joined the war in 1394 and not 1943?
Or is Hollywood not involved in anyway?

As far as I know Hollywood is not involved and, for Dutch standards, it will be a big budget production. Of course there were Americans involved, but the main forces were Canadian, Polish and English. And the Aussies you ask ? they were nowhere to be seen of course, probably too busy drinking beer

A ghost and me from the past came to visit.
The ghost said "If you don't change your ways this will be you in the future."
"Oh my god!", I said, "that's friggin' awesome!"
They then returned to the present.

So I moved a digital clock out of the way of an impending visit by a 3yr old. As it happened, it was put next to a mirror, perpindicularly, so I had a reflection of it that appeared like an adjacent clock of the same type (mirrors tend to do that).
Then, I saw it !

THat's 99 decimal, whose digits add up to 18 and then whose digits add up to 9, again - but only one 9 !
It must be an omen! Surely! An Omen !

 I happen to be listening to Rush and just up the list is 'The Body Electric' from Grace Under Pressure. The chorus for that song is '1001001 SOS'. The first part is binary for 73 which then converts to ASCII as the letter 'I'. Apparently it's about a droid reaching self-awareness.
