As are the spelling corrections and grammar improvements they elicit.
Regards,
I guess it could be washed away from a store during a hurricane. It could be from Andrew or a recent one.
You know, you can post up to 300 words in an excerpt, rather than a couple sentences as if you were click baiting, requiring those who were enticed to go to Yahoo with its over 550 network requests in the first minute (hit F12 in Firefox, then Networking, then reload the web page). With ad blocking.
Mourning/ morning???
Yes, the grammar police keep me on speed dial.
They no longer bother to send a notice for minor infractions.
Due to budget cuts, I seldom hear much out of them.
“Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most.”
Old Mr T. understood.
And that is not to imply I ever had the grammer/grammar thing.
A clickbaiter?
Woe is me!
If only Microsoft had actually purchased Yahoo.
But no.
The F12 view was a fun way to waste a morning!
I found similar numbers at CNN and USAtoday
A different article on Yahoo and left untended for a minute showed 1024 requests, an upper limit?
THANK YOU for the how to.
When you post, do you check the number of requests?
Where do you draw the line?
Is there any guidance for this function?
Breitbart, a site I avoid because it sometimes bogs down with crap, today was on good behavior and under 300, moved right along.
Now there's proof this organization, whatever it is, really cares.
No, not really, but it is like those bloggers who post enough to entice you. Please do not take it too personal, it is just that I see this a lot, sometimes even posting irrelevant material (Facebook links, etc.) when excerpts could provide the gist of the story.

No, since I know that there are multitudes of articles pasted each day, and reader's time is valuable, and having to having to go to a link and thus add one more tab (I have hundreds open myself across 6 browsers) and often face the onslaught you refer to, then rather than providing a couple sentences or so, instead I try to include as much of the article as I reasonably can, trying to use "Reader's digest" type editing. Like here. And unless I am posting all of an article that I think can be so shared (one here) or a composition of my own as here, then for in copying and pasting most then I click on "this is an excerpt" in the article post page, since that allows 300 words, which excerpts I first paste in https://wordcounter.net/ to get the number.

Wow. Glad you like the F12 feature, which is one the reasons I like Firefox, though besides two portable Quantum installations I actually run two profiles using the legacy Firefox ESR since that enables the many extensions that Firefox Quantum broke. Thank God for such tools. Image where we would be under socialism.
Note that your CNN link made 1618 requests as I read the article???
Thanks again.
Screenshot of Chrome:
Yes, but since the excerpts provide testimony (even by CNN) that exposes antifa then reading the whole article is really not necessary, and in this instance it waters down the case. But did any of those 1618 requests vote for Biden?
I was joking about ‘Morning Wood’, (You know, early morning erections?), not floating, not any sort of sadness towards Natalie. Got it?
Ruben Clamo’s strange daughter.
YES! I did that first thing to establish a baseline.
And was surprised by the differences; guessing, the more crap being sold the higher the number, also more non text components add to the total.
The totals are not always the same between Chrome and Firefox.
On this thread, Chrome shows 7, Firefox 6. FF does not list ‘common.css’; on this thread.
Running Chrome and FF side by side.
I’m using a big old HP Z420 dual xeon workstation with 2 monitors and Ubuntu 20.04, helps to keep the house warm.
Not a computer guy, but it was provided by my employer, when I retired they said,return the drive and keep the rest.
Thank you again, this is interesting stuff! (Yes, I’m easily amused)
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Yes, and which is one reason more bandwidth and PC power is needed as years go on.

In either case it is quite the contrast btwn FR and ad sites. www.breitbart.com shows over 100 requests in 30secs if you scroll.

At least. I have to use FF quantum portable if I want to also use FF legacy ESR, but i also run Chrome portable. That way it is all together can be transferred rather easily. Thank God.

Looks pretty good for its age if this is right. I have Linux on a rig that is mainly just used for the Internet. The one I am using is W/10 Pro (from a $30.00 upgrade to a retail channel W/8 years ago) on a home built rig. Thank God for what we can get and do.

Yes it is interesting, and have a good Thanksgiving indeed. Much to be thankful for.
