Not sure what's up with the website, but my computer was unable to handle it. Had to restart. Maybe cut down on the constant animations? A version that works without JS would be nice as well. Sounds interesting otherwise.

I recently discovered Dune3D for simple cad. Very fun to use, and easy to learn.

I can still barely understand the dialect where I have now lived for ~4 years. I can just about follow the topic of the conversation if I focus hard enough. And this is in the same country that I grew up in (Scotland).

It's a very isolated place, which has allowed the old language to survive till now, though it's only the older people that still speak it, and even then it's likely still closer to english than their parents spoke.

In the larger towns nearby, the dialects have turned into an accent, with a few "cool" or useful words sprinkled in. The dialect here however, has different vowel and consonant sounds, maybe 30-50% different words (I'm just guessing), and a slightly different word order. Sadly it will die out in the next decade or so.

I guess this is pretty normal in some parts of the world, but quite rare in english.

And you can hide the close button by adding

.tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button {
  visibility: collapse !important;
}

to your userChrome.css file. Works with vertical tabs too.

In Firefox you can also middle click the reload button to duplicate the tab.

Edit: other things you can middle click:

• The back and forwards buttons: does, what the buttons do in a new tab, while duplicating the tab history.
• The new tab button: open a new tab directly after the current tab (and in the same container as the current tab).
• Items in the URL bar (such as autocomplete suggestions, the thing you just typed, or your frequent pages): opens them in a new tab (at the end though for some reason)

You can also Ctrl+click all of these for the same result.

Some pages try to re-implement links in javascript, but forget about anything other than left-click.

Edit: Don't forget Ctrl+click. Works the same as middle click in most cases.

is this drax propaganda? Seems like this was made by the UK’s largest carbon emitter....

Yes, this is also the only implementation of this I could find. I'm not sure if the cinnamon js api is capable of something similar.

It's actually not bad at corners. You'd probably be fine cycling maybe a metre further out than usual.

You could probably move a similar amount on just one large trailer, which might be easier to manoeuvre round a city. Bikes at work has some cool examples:

• https://www.bikesatwork.com/bike-trailers/customers
• https://www.pedalpeople.coop/index.php?page=12

You're right, there are not many hills here. Only 1 small one I had to climb. I do think that with low enough gears and enough time, hills won't be much of a problem.

You could also do the hill in multiple trips, temporarily leaving one of the trailers behind.

I find the best way to get free things is to let people know you're interested in those things. I recently took over the local bike hire, and now everyone knows I enjoy repairing bicycles. I've had multiple people approach me to get rid of their old bicycles. That's how I got 2 of the trailers. This presumably works best in places with stronger community.

Otherwise, I think keeping an eye on local buy/sell websites (eg facebook/gumtree/freecycle). I think you're likely to find an old child trailer, which you can remove the cover and sides from to get a trailer base. Maybe try putting "wanted" posts on these websites as well, as people might not realise a torn or rusty child trailer is worth anything.

Theoretically they should be rather easy to make from scratch, though I've not done this yet. They are really just a frame with small bike wheels and a hitch.

Thanks! Bike trailers are great at corners. You can easily do a u-turn with one. The way the second trailer is connected to the front hand cart though, limits it to about 45°. While cycling though, there are no issues, just cycle maybe a metre from the edge of the road.
