Haha unreal!
Also, on the new Master of Orion's forum I learn about the upcoming Stellaris (9th of May), by Paradox. Looks promising...

Seems right. No matter how many people fight over a chair, in the end it will be the cat that sits on it.[^]

Nicely done. Easy to set-up. Configuration straightforward. Imported all my Chrome stuff without a glitch. My initial reaction is that I like it, although haven't explored many of its features yet. Seems "fast," but can't quantify that.
Don't have a clue how its ad-blocker compares with the combination of Privacy Badger and UBlock I use in Chrome.
There's a post in "Insider News" where the new dev version is described, and linked to.
cheers, Bill

I've been using Opera for a while now and I like it. It uses Chrome's engine underneath.
There is new browser which I haven't tried yet, Vivaldi. Also uses Chrome's engine and made by some guys that were at Opera.

Takes about a minute to run though IMO.

I stopped using Opera when they released a phone-y version for the desktop, with a lot of the tools I used (e.g. sessions) stripped out.
It looks like a lot of them have been rebuilt as add-ins, though, so I might give it another go.

That shouldn't be a problem. Most people don't know where you live, and they lead perfectly productive, happy lives.

If they're to lazy to google in the first place a book with more than 1 page would probably be to complicated anyway.

"Immemorable" One wonders how many people ... who select to add this word to Chrome's vocabulary list ... it might take before the word becomes present, by default: that, of course, begs the question of whether Chrome at this time, tailors the default spelling vocabulary in the same way it tailors ad-content based on its wanna-be-Orwellian profiling apparatus.
"Every two days we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003".
"I keep asking for a product called Serendipity," he said, making up the name. "This product would have access to everything ever written or recorded, know everything the user ever worked on and saved to his or her personal hard drive, and know a whole lot about the user's tastes, friends and predilections."
quote from Eric Schmidt of Google. Or does the thought of something that will not be remembered, cannot be remembered, does not deserve to be remembered ... send a cold quantum willy reeking of fear-sweat-stink through the ghosts in the machine that haunt the cubicles of the micro-serfs exiled to work in the low-bandwidth wastelands of Alphabet's gulags (googlags ?) of mere vocabulary ?
Just as much of the genius of Homo Saps qua all-species-top-predator is in evolving to ignore reality [^ #1], will not the conscious machines just-around-the-digital-apocalypse's-fractal-corners also erase anything suggestive of extinction, impermanence, imperfection ... just as we do ?
Will not these "conscious agents composed of conscious agents" (op. cit., Hoffman) evolve like us, end up just like us, with no memory of the conscious agents that created them, and, in their simulated crowd-sourced loneliness assuage themselves with creating a creator, and a story of creation ?

Don't you ignore "alot", "anymore", "should of", etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc!
Every misspelling by every dumb American should be added to dictionaries, not just the ones you like!
BTW, the word is "forgettable", and there are multiple synonyms, if you need a little nuance.
If you really want to add a word to the dictionaries, try coming up with a good (pronounceable) translation for "orecchiabile" (IT) or "gezellig" (NL) -- y'now, words that don't already exist.

And, your point is ... other than you are scratching your head trying to think of ... something ... because something you can't articulate is making your head itch, and writing something distracts you from the itch ?
"Immemorable" is not mis-spelled; it's a kosher (you may need to know I am using "kosher" here in an ironically broad sense, lest you have another itching attack) word, even if its usage is less common these days among the great digital multitudes who are unwashed vocabulary-wise.
The absence of one word from Google's default spelling dictionary is a smidgen of what this post is about, but, go ahead, peck at the smidgen until your beak breaks

Ah, I thought it was something that you wanted to add.
You should watch how you phrase things, if they are so easily misunderstood.

No. No, it is not. Immemorable, which dates from at least the 16th Century, does not mean can be forgotten. It means cannot be remembered, is impossible to recall, is beyond the reach of memory. It is a deeper, more meaningful concept altogether.
As for your words that don't exist - Google translate appears to differ. Perhaps you'd care to explain what you think they've failed to understand.
