Interesting idea. You can access it in another browser. They explain that you can back up the site and import the backup in a different browser or on a different computer.
Thanks, but you’re replying to me, you’re not telling everyone else. :-)

I've talked to writers who think in pages, where a page is 250 words. It makes sense, if you've published a few books, to think that way, especially if you're writing books with shortish chapters.
In some cultures, it's the only measurement (France: feuillet, 1,500 characters, or one page).

“I demand that the producers of this disgusting and juvenile war porn remove my voice immediately”, said voice actor Steve Downes.
Congrats! The Macworld/Six Colors - Jeopardy Venn diagram keeps overlapping.
My mother was on Jeopardy back in the 60s. She got to come back for a second day, and brought home a Compton's Encyclopedia, which I spent many hours perusing when I was young.
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
The IgNobel Prizes, usually bestowed at a ceremony in Cambridge, Mass, are moving to Europe this year due to security concerns for honorees and journalists coming to the US from abroad.
I bet I know who's going to win the IgNobel Peace Prize this year.

Good luck! BTW, the new, cheap MacBook Neo looks like a really good bargain, given that you probably don't do anything that requires a lot of power. That is if you want a newer MacBook rather than an iMac.
The publishing industry's lack of confidence in authors and its own ability to create careers for them is pathetic and, in the end, self-defeating.
That's pretty good if it lasted for 10 years. The new ones are great and they'll last just as long if not longer.
When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.
With a sign reading Mission Accomplished behind him.
Mission Accomplished, right?
I've noticed these. Have you tried reporting them on their Amazon page to see what happens? I'm surprised that the game companies aren't doing something.

The Next Track, Episode #329: 1979
In another look at a specific year in music, we find that 1979 not only had some great and influential music, but was also the year of two technical innovations that would change music forever.
People who consumed 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine a day were less likely to develop coronary heart disease, Type 2 diabetes or stroke.
This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

An amazing stat:
Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.
It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

I know you are surprised to find out it’s a clown show.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Yes, let’s take the war criminal who is a proven liar at his word. What a masterful negotiator this guy must be.
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
I'm no lawyer, but I think "we're going to keep stealing your stuff until you tell us you don't want us to steal your stuff" isn't quite the defense Grammarly thinks it is—at least not in the court of public opinion. I hope this company is sued into oblivion. I canceled my pro account today.
