There is/was a restaurant that offered IIRC $8/1 bowl, or $11 unlimited bowls (this was ~20 years ago). It was called BD's Mongolian BBQ, the crazy constructions I saw while eating there was ridiculous. Same goes for when we used to have Indian buffets (pre-COVID). I think the most insulting thing was that these were people who based on their dress, and the vehicles parked outside, did not seem to be hurting for money

...but that's like 78% of why I got one

For me, it was Archer using any, and every, excuse to talk down to T'Pol. I'm not sure who was writing his character, but I would've preferred if they'd gone more towards Picard (TNG) or Pike (SNW), and less Kirk/Sisko. As the first human explorers in that part of space, I would preferred more reverence for what they were accomplishing, and less whining about Vulcans. The other characters were were way more enjoyable to watch

TNG and SNW captains brought/bring a sense of awe with their exploration of the unknown, Archer just seemed like a kid who's parents told him he couldn't have ice cream for dinner

how much the world they know

I heard some of them are able to have South Korean TV shows and movies smuggled in on flash drives. I only know this, because there are also stories of people being caught watching/in possession of the media and being sentenced to prison. Most recently I think 2 teenage boys were given 12 years hard labor

The last time I looked at containers I think it was an add-on, but I don't think (and please correct me if I'm wrong), it filtered or made active the current viewable tabs.

In Opera there's an icon list on the left and depending on which one is selected those are the only tabs displayed, and/or made active. I'll take another look at FF containers.

Someone mentioned 'about:profiles' above, I think that may be closer to what I'm looking for, maybe that combined with containers can reduce my foot print to just Firefox, thanks for the suggestion

That's unfortunate, I was hoping for a 'workspaces' like feature as in Opera. I run FF and Opera simultaneaously to segregate my tabs. It would be really nice if we could get something like that extended to profiles, so I could just run FF

My first thought reading the headline was, "that sounds amazing, but I can't afford 25k a year" 🤣

Neat! We had CO2 cars when I was younger. Basically the same thing, just with a CO2 cartridge plugged into a hole at the back of the car. We race to see which design got the farthest. Man that brings back some good memories

Squirt bottle for (olive) oil. It is a lot more precise than simply pouring oil out of the bottle the oil comes in.

Electric kettle. No fancy features, just a switch to start water boiling, which shuts off once it's at a rolling boil

Multishelf airfryer. It's great for roasting small batches of vegetables (baby carrots, potatoes, cauliflower etc) without the guilt of firing up the big oven. It's also great in the summer because it doesn't heat up my apartment

1.5qt sauce pan. It's great for heating up small batches of soups, bbq beans etc. This is what I used to heat the water for my tea prior to purchasing the electric kettle

I pretty much use all of these on a daily basis
