Trying to "share" all of them will crash Firefox, so I manually select 100 and share those, then close those, repeat 20 times (which is how I know how many tabs I had open).

Maybe it was the Firefox addon Canvas Blocker? That addon was crashing the game, so I disabled it and appears to work now. The game still makes my laptop fans kick on though.

Both games where my opponent left, now show as wins in my history.

Also, I like the dice addition, but on desktop, the dice images are not matching up with what is rolled and displayed in the log.

How long does an opponent have until they auto forfeit if they don't move?

I was casting my pieces off, guaranteed a win, but my opponent left, so it didn't count as a win for me to my disappointment.

Perhaps if someone leaves and doesn't return within 60 seconds, the game should be a win for the person remaining if the remaining person's pip count is lower.

I've been on a dark ship in the middle of the ocean and that was pretty good for stargazing, though I guess Australia might be a tiny bit better due to less reflective surface (compared to the ocean)?

There's no reason a previous universe had to form, expand, or stay distributed evenly.

Considering I didn't even realize it said Pocket the first time around, I think bookmarks are more prominent over Pocket, so I don't see bookmarks being demoted in favor of Pocket.

I just closed a bit over 2,000 tabs on my old phone because I was switching phones. I recall reading a couple of other comments here in HN and seeing a couple of comments in reddit of other people having thousands of tabs open.

Slow and buggy has NOT been my experience.

I use uBlock Origin addon though, maybe that's the difference? I bet resource-hogging ads could be an issue.

Edit: I also had "studies" turned off. Perhaps you were in a study that was testing something that caused those issues? (That's why I don't like default "studies" or A/B testing.). Or maybe something else (physical or software) on your phone is damaged/defective, perhaps even your installation of the Firefox app got borked?

A person could theoretically go through their whole life (in the U.S.) and not need any form of credit, but that usually requires having money or capital upfront.

If you end up wanting to do something that requires a card (and cash, check etc isn't accepted as with most online payments), then it's better to use a credit card than a debit card as you have better protections in case something goes wrong or your card is skimmed.

I mostly use cash everywhere I go, but I have one credit card for autopay items, and another credit card for random purchases. I have a third card for temporary use should either of the first two cards be hit with fraud and I need to wait for a replacement card in the mail.

If you don't want to have multiple credit card accounts, you can often get a second card on the same account with a different name and use that one.

If you write checks, you should do that from a seperate account because everything someone needs to steal your money is written on the front of the check.

If someone was searching for "How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found", I would assume they meant to hide, not to commit suicide.

I've worked at sea. A mariner would not need to search for that if the intention was suicide.
