In most of europe tap water has very good quality and you can just drink and use it without any filtering.

edit: meaning it's a personal choice to soften / filter you water, but most people are fine with just tap water

probably works when using a single screen. But on a multi screen setup, so having the macbook as 2nd screen, it's not working

On a user level I agree, on a technical level I disagree.

Reason for disagreement is that the preview is generated once with the access rights for the user posting that link (with the permission Slacks Google Docs integration got from the posting user). For performance reason it would be quite costly to generate a preview for every viewing user since access rights could be different for every user. Also access rights can change every time, so it would be necessary to recheck permissions regularly to decide if the preview should be renewed (removed/added/changed). This also would mean users need to wait longer for the preview to generate.

So every user posting a link on Slack (or any platform which generates previews with a special integration) should be aware of that fact

On Chrome (browser I use for development) I use the Google Arts & Culture Extension, to have see something nice while working (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-arts-cultur...)

On Firefox (my main browser for all non-dev related things) I just use the main screen with the shortcuts - some of them sticky, most are just often visited pages gathered by the browser itself

Buy a pair of good running shoes and sport clothing and start running. Maybe a tracking device if you don't own one to track you progress. Also maybe do some weight/bodyweight training. Save the rest of the money. Or buy a bike.

- Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash) for browsing documentation locally (often faster than searching the web when you know what you are looking for), alternative: https://devdocs.io (works in browser), Zeal (https://zealdocs.org, for Windows & Linux)

- Sublime Merge for solving merge conflicts and committing individual lines (I'm for command line when working with Git, but `git add -p` is often frustrating, with Sublime Merge it's very easy once you got used to the tool)

I stopped reading after the first sentence

> Before Google, you just had to know the www address of the sites you could be interested in.

Before Google there were other search engines. Remember Altavista? Also Yahoo was a thing to discover new sites.
