>If you need an employee to produce a continuous task log, they aren't producing value

Uh? This is not some kind of engineering job. An employee of mcdonalds who's not flipping burgers is indeed not producing any value.

Or they could, you know, not destroy your settings when you update by hand.

I've yet to see a legit unicode domain, and my country doesn't speak English as a first language.

To tell you the truth IDN domains feel like a failure, a gimmick. Their biggest market probably was meant to be countries that don't use the Latin alphabet, and they've failed spectacularly.

If you use Firefox, for your own security, set network.IDN_show_punycode to true.

Don't have an iphone handy but I think so. There are lots of options there to explore, there's also one to increase contrast and another to make buttons more evident. There's some cool stuff there in accessibility options

Until I read cwkoss' comment right now I had always assumed someone came to the pizza joint and started firing rounds at people. I admit I'm not American so I never cared enough to look up what "opened fire" meant here, but I think it's evident what people will think of when they read that expression. Hint: not someone shooting a closet's lock once to open it.
