Maybe I had camelCase wrong all this time ...

a monster with a beard and horns is standing next to a wall . ALT: a monster with a beard and horns is standing next to a wall .

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Why thank you, ChatGPT, but this isn't quite what I had in mind.

+1 for PostHooks :-)

Thanks - done

Very festive ...

A thing I found when clearing out my personal email. There are 12 1/2 years of weekly emails asking me to sign up for a Corporate AMEX. I moved on in 2013 ... seems like my former employer just can't let it go :-)

Loving it so far. 10 profiles and counting. Easy to switch from Chrome, and memory use seems way down. Thanks for the recommendation.

Something tells me I should have been paying more attention to my personal email account.

Awesome - will see how it goes.

Amazing that Chrome lets you set up so many - I got to 8 accounts before they said “no more” based on repeated phone number usage. You can have many more if you don’t need them to sync to a cloud account. Brave sounds like a cleaner experience so will try that out.
