I went nuclear and used the element *zapper* and that got rid of the little dialog box at the bottom inviting me to ask its AI questions. Possibly that's the same as removing it from the dom (not sure what that phrase means)...

Thanks :) Opens 31st tab...

I want a browser extension that lets me press a button and it fwoomphs all open tabs into a Google Doc with title and URL and datestamp. Until then I keep an 'open tabs' bookmark which opens the Google Doc and I paste stuff in manually before letting my laptop cool down ;)

Would help if I included the screen recording showing the annoyance ;) Little up arrow on the right doesn't dismiss it.

Normally I can excise such irritants using the (excellent, free) uBlock Origin element picker which lets me click on an annoyance, doing so prevents it from loading on the browser. It's an utter godsend. Does nothing here AFAICT.

Might you consider adding a new category (cookery) and tagging relevant posts with it? Then people could bookmark the equivalent category page, like this
alomshaha.com/category/unc...
(Quickest is to edit an extant post, and add category in menu on right. Then 'quick edit' any other post to add).

I think the only thing I can't do on Bluesky is DM and since I switched that option off on Day 1 of joingin the site I'm probably not going to be inconvenienced much. I don't think it's possible to send me a DM, or if it is I may never see it.

I'm currently not having problems :) Mine was a separate problem though, about verifying that I'm an adult (though the third party site Bluesky's using) rather than adding a birthdate to my account. I'm unable to do the verification (only have debit card, face recog didn't work), gave up.

Perhaps carried out by pallbearers before the term ends, but yes I am holding onto the hope that he'll make a normal office-exit at the end of his term. I have very recently watched that Winslow Boy :)

Every so often I glance at one of the many "Days until Trump leaves office" tickers and find the countdown cheering, if slow www.tickcounter.com/countdown/18...

Are you sufficiently senior in law that you could impose your preferred spelling on the rest of us? Lean on the dictionaries to include it as an alternative spelling, that kind of thing? :-)
