Yeah, I assumed it's Google's fault, one way or another, regardless of browser being used. And even though I don't recall it happening in desktop chrome, minor nuisance like that isn't gonna make me switch.

Tubular on android also has option for forced highest resolution so that's a nice bypass for any of google's bs as I rarely bother opening videos in FF/FFfocus on phone

Videos take time to load - don't care though, even if it's about length of 5-7sec ad, but at least I don't see it.
Videos almost never auto play to highest resolution, I have to manually select it, no issues once I do that though.

Those are about the two key things I've noticed. I returned to Firefox few.months back, but the above wasn't an issue when I made the initial switch.

And no, there is no issue with my connection, everything else (streaming, games, torrents) works fine as it always did.

I use uBlock and NoScript

What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?

Sadly even if they're not, it's quantity over quality....just like the rest of the whole military there.

Thanks, appreciate it

Probably the same reason the whole party is still around. It would be awesome to get a real input from someone who lives in Mexico (preferably a normal person and not a summer beach home/mansion owner who pretends to live like normal people do), but honestly don't know how likely they are to lurk here on Lemmy....surely there is at least one among us?

My skepticism stems mostly from the "popularity" of former president, supposedly reaching some 80%? Sounds pretty good if it's genuinely true, but it's eerily approaching fabled 90-100% authoritarian levels.

Damn, you can't not post a slice of that as well!

VW is owned by Porsche SE (holding company, where the family has controlling vote), despite owning the manufacturing of... Porsche's

Surely it depends on the definition of "close/near", have they given detailed specifics or is that not public info?

I mean you could argue that since these aren't some intercontinental missiles, whatever is in their range, should be considered close?
Alternatively you could say, anything that can hit Kharkiv is fair game which opens it up a bit and not limiting the launchers to be "near" Kharkiv to retaliate.

Edit: seems like most of these articles are just reiterating the vague "close/near" and at most mention that US stance on long-range strikes has not changed.

Few more places to consider if you're in lower mainland:
Freshco/Chalo if you have the option over Safeway/IGA (same stuff, cheaper, though produce isn't always super fresh).

Langley farm market for produce is great, often good deals and competes with big chains on prices on said produce, meat, not so much other stuff (again limited access depending on where exactly you live unfortunately).

I'd do Saveon only armed with price matching flyers or I'm after something very specific I can't find elsewhere. Plus I'm not a huge fan of Jim Patisson or whichever carguy owns it.

City avenue market is also pretty good for produce and the occasional offers for other stuff.

Very location specific - if you like a good bread, check out European bakery in Poco, awesome rye that would cost you 3times as much in some "artisan" bakery and still cheaper than semi decent loaf from big chains.

Edit-stupid autocorrect

Idiot couldn't handle his new toy in the rainy Metro Vancouver [OC]

Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long and hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.
