always had a feeling balding and not having the hormones to grow beard had its benefits

I kinda wish I could test going the full bald shaved head thing… before doing it.

Have a go at it here: https://www.happilybald.com/what-would-i-look-like-bald/

Does anyone know how the site manages to make its cookie persistent in the browser? I've noticed a few sites manage to remain albeit it empty after the browser wipes everything, dont know if this is a browser problem or something else, like code running extremely slowly in the OS.

Edit. To be clear there is no content in the cookie, but the cookie still shows in the list of cookies in the browser. Its weird, but its not the only site.

This website is inane, juvenile and has no real use. And for all those reasons I love it. Kudos to HN for being a place where I can find things that just bring some silly fun to my life. I remember in the early days of the Interwebs, there was so many sites just like this one. You didn't have to go to FB, IG or some other content mill to find them. Plus, when you did find one, it had the same feeling of excitement as…

Adding my useless website to the list: http://magickeyboard.io - it’s fun to build one-off random sites and put them out there :)

Oh, that moment when I find I can simply hold down my finger.

Have you ever played the game Little Inferno? I can't place it but this feels like that. (And I mean that in a very good way)

Given your follow-up that points out "that's just the way it is", old toys don't work for the old, I'm curious as to how you think about the resurgence of Dungeons and Dragons? Something that was played, for people of my generation, 30+ years ago. Many of us have re-found that joy, and if anything it's better than it was before. Playing with our kids, playing with other adults, of all ages. Want to re-imagine with yo…

2nd edition D&D or even 2.5 is pretty different from 4e and 5e (is there already 6e?) though... I really like 4e, our big serious campaign is 4e with increasing amounts of customisation because of course Wizards never really polish the high level game, there's no money in it. But it's a very different game from 2nd edition. My Wizard was written out (the other PCs basically killed him, hint taken) but you couldn't wr…

I think the charm of 2nd edition is exactly that it’s such an unbalanced mess.

4th by comparison feels like a MMO with all the uniquesness sucked out of it.

5e backpedals on that and goes more or less back to where 3.5e used to be, but less complicated (magic still hasn’t recovered to it’s former levels though).

I’m mostly scared of clicking shady links these days… Idk if I’m being too paranoid but my google mailbox is full of phishing attempts…

Your paranoia is justified. If NoScript didn't exist I don't know how anyone could browse the web with any confidence.

I've been all over the Internet with an ad blocker and JS enabled running Firefox Nightly for years now with no issues.
