    That was the one that made me realize I'd outgrown the series. Dunno if old RL was really phoning that one in or what, but one of his chapter cliffhangers ended with "and the dragonfly bit me in half!" Then the next chapter started with "But it was just my imagination."

    If the female wasp crawls into the caprifig, she can successfully lay her eggs and die. The males hatch first, mate with the females, dig tunnels out of the caprifig, and die. The females, now covered in fig pollen from the caprifig, fly out to begin the cycle again. If the female wasp crawls into a female fig, she will not be able to successfully lay her eggs despite pollinating the fig with pollen from the caprifig she hatched in. The fig will absorb her body and her eggs as the fruit develops.

    Unfortunately people like him rarely do. He got Dilbert dropped from most papers in 2023 for (in the most charitable interpretation) having a completely tone deaf reaction to a poll about race relations. Rather than think about why everyone got so angry with him he said his words were taken out of context and that they were hyperbole.

    Depending on the particulars of who's at fault in the messed up police report, the daughter could get away with it even without all the stupid sovcit bullshit. As comedian Mike Birbiglia points out, police reports are like homework for cops, and those guys are often lazy and hate homework. After he got hit by a drunk driver the police report had a bunch of errors basically saying he hit his own car and the department refused to correct it.

    Getting Sync's internal browser to default to Firefox?

    Links that open natively in Sync (like news articles) are often riddled with ads. Is there any way for the Sync shell to open through a Firefox based browser, which includes native ad block? I'm not sure if this is related to what browsers I have on my phone. I do have one chromium based browser (kiwi) installed, and if getting rid of that would fix the problem I could look into deleting it and leaving only FF on my phone. But I'm not sure if it's related.

I accidentally clicked on it and now the arrow keys don't scroll, space doesn't pause, etc. I can't figure out where that menu is to restore functionality to the keyboard, even after a browser restart.

    strange order of credits

    Was watching From (horror series from MGM) and one of the episodes had the credits listed in a strange order. I know there's some politicking in who gets listed in what order, but this was odd because it was for very minor parts. There's a gaggle of 7 scary children who are basically there to look creepy, and while they technically have speaking parts, they all just say the same gibberish word over and over. In the credits for S02E10, after the one guest star, the next screen lists (among other cast) "ghoulish child" #5 and #7, then the screen after that lists #2, 3, 4, and 6 (one of the kids is called "ghastly child" and I guess is more main, though I couldn't really see a difference). Any idea what could cause this? Could kids 5 and 7 be related to the director or something? What possible reason could there be for listing such minor parts out of order? And if they wanted a couple kids featured more prominently, why wouldn't they just call those kids 2 and 3 instead of 5 and 7? edit: [here's a link](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19815578/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm) to the imdb cast page
