Why is Chrome much worse at showing urls in the address/search bar that I've already been to than Firefox? For instance, if I want to go to the Wikipedia page that has all the episodes of Community (which I've been to before), on Firefox I'll start typing "list of community episodes," and by the time I've hit the c, it knows that's the page I want. Chrome doesn't do this nearly as well; it prioritizes searching much higher, even if I don't precede my input with a ?.

This question could be rephrased equally well as "why does Firefox always assume that what I wanted in the past is what I want now?"

Besides, you answered the question yourself: Chrome prioritizes searching and options, Firefox prioritizes past behavior and static preferences.

Fair enough. That being said, is there anything I can do to make Chrome's address bar work more like Firefox's? I'd just switch to FF, but my netbook already struggles enough with Chrome, and I was under the impression that it's lighter on the resources.

The past couple of days my Gmail has been wonky. It won't load, so I go to the HTML version (which looks like rear end, but at least I can get my mail).

I've been using Gmail in Chrome with no problems. I was also able to load it in Firefox, IE9, and IE9-compatibility-mode, which mimics... uh, IE 6, I think? The problem is almost definitely on your end.

I don't think houseplants generate any significant amount of heat. Unless you keep skunk cabbages indoors, in which case they generate a decent amount of heat, but way less than a mammal of comparable size.

Thank you! Because of your post I figured out what the problem was. It was because of AdBlock which is odd as it's never interfered with Gmail before, which is why I didn't even think of it. In fact, half the time I forget I have it installed. I feel like an idjit but I'm so thankful that it's fixed that I don't care about said idjitcy.

I was in the grocery store the other day with my girlfriend, and she wanted to get some shrimp to make shrimp scampi. I told her we didn't have enough money to buy shrimp, so she talked me into paying for two really dubious looking bags of essentially "miscellaneous frozen seafood" that was on sale. It has squid tentacles, something called top shell (which is apparently sea-snail?), and tiny, tiny shrimp in it. We tried to make scampi with it a few days later, but it smelled terrible and turned the sauce a pepto-bismol color. We choked some of it down (her by dousing it in lemon juice and me by whipping up a quick homemade tartar sauce to dunk it in), but we still threw about a third of it in the trash.

Unfortunately, I still have a whole 'nother bag in the freezer. Any suggestions as to how I could cook it so it would be palatable?

Chrome's making each tab into a separate process actually makes it less light on resources than Firefox. Apparently though ,Opera is the lightest on resources.

A lot of the bad rap firefox gets for being a resource hog in due to extensions being poorly written. It's my understanding that the core application is actually quite efficient.

Clinical psychiatry and counseling aren't the only things a psychology degree is good for. Anecdote: Many of the people I know who did psychology did it because they thought it was "easy." Many others did it just to get the degree so they could go on to get a B.Ed. or something. Psychologists are scientists. Some people go on from there onto grad school and hook electrodes onto the brains of rats and poo poo. Maybe he hopes to understand the human brain better so that he can better cope with his illness? Maybe he wants to become a researcher to help find better treatments for these disorders?

Also: Yes this guy has schizophrenia and depression, but as long as he's receiving adequate treatment he'll be a fully functional member of society. Some of your teachers and counselors may be medicated depressive schizophrenics, you know.


Question for the thread:
If most symptoms of many common illnesses (fever, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, inflammation, diarrhea, etc) are immune responses that fight against infection, does taking medication that suppress these symptoms inhibit your body's ability to get rid of the infection?

:raise:

Psychologists do research and therapeutic work, as well as corporate gigs. They don't get scrip pads but if they're in counseling they usually have an MD who will sign off to whatever they think is the likeliest med for their patients.

There is no broad disqualification for mental illnesses across the board. To paraphrase Forrest Gump "crazy is as crazy does," and a lot of pre-employment screening is intended to catch people who fit a pattern of mental illness.

Nobody really knows. Cooking is obviously advantageous for a number of reasons. It makes things taste better, makes most edible things easier to eat, renders some inedible things edible, and destroys parasites and microbes as well as a number of toxic compounds found in plants. At some point way back in pre-history someone figured out that heating your food up just works better.

Yes and no. Those symptoms are body's way of removing the disease from your system. However, excluding fevers, many of those symptoms are also used by the virus itself in an effort to contaminate other hosts.

That said, preventing increased mucus production, or preventing your body from expelling waste from its intestines could increase the duration of your sickness.

My doctor has always said if you have a fever, let it run its course and monitor your temperature to make sure you aren't in danger of dying. If you have a cough, take an expectorant only to get the crap out of your lungs. Drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest, and exercise moderately if you can handle it. This will generally decrease the duration of your illness.

The caveat is, do this only if you are able to stay home alone. If you have to work and interact with other people, do us a favor and try to suppress your symptoms while you're in contact with the public to avoid infecting others.

At least, that's my opinion. I'm not a doctor or anything.

What? Are you serious? Yes, psychiatrists are essentially MDs. Psychologists are scientists. They perform real scientific research using real scientific methods in real scientific labs and publish their work in real scientific journals. Psychology is the scientific study of the brain. Psychiatry is medically applied psychology. Is that difficult to grasp? You even mentioned both distinct terms in your post.

I was always under the impression that neuroscience is the scientific study of the brain, but I guess thinking that all women secretly desire their fathers cock and resent them for having penises is much more scientific. I didn't even think therapists attempt to pass off what they do as scientific, let alone equivalent to actual health care. There's probably a reason insurance never covers therapy but will cover Stratera/Zoloft/Depakote/whatever.

It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.
There's a lot more overlap in the fields (of neuroscience and psychology) than you're acknowledging and there's a lot more to psychology research than psychoanalysis, which doesn't even exist in the form you're describing it anymore.

Psychologist can be used for both researchers and therapists and counselors, though.

Well it sounds like you've made up your mind already but if your judement of the field is based off theories that are 90 years old and long since abandoned you should reconsider. Current psychological research published in reputable journals has rigor and applicability, so I think you should at least read up before being so dismissive.

Also, to clarify: psychiatrists are literally mds (or dos) who have completed a residency in psychiatry. Medication decisions are solely their purview, though plenty of them can perform the same therapies that psychologists do.

Edit2: also plenty of insurers cover therapy when it has been demonstrated to be clinically effective: phobias, anxiety disorders including PTSD, GAD, acute stress disorder, panic disorder, etc. I'm not sure where your dismissive attitude comes from but it's probably misinformed.
