 activities of the young man in the eighth chapter, for example. The study divests the contents of the letters from the emotional message. And that leads to my second problem: What have we learned once we know that letters are emotional messages? We are, so one could argue, made sensible for the fact that letters are more than just bare texts; they convey more than just meanings, they carry emotions over land and water. I have a sense that most of us historians knew all that already. Finally: The title of the book is "Atlantic families". Yet the authoress nowhere asks herself whether within the American and within the British or Caribbean societies emotions played the same roles. For her these are all happy members of one British society that shared the same values, the same ideas and were part of the same culture. Many scholars, me included, do not share such a naïve assumption.

A shared love of theatre brought Ben and Sophie Wiseman (Classics, 2006 and Medicine, 2006 respectively) together whilst studying at King’s.
They met at King’s Musical Theatre Society in 2003 – the very beginning of their distinctly theatre-themed romance. Sophie was the play’s producer, and Ben a fresher who was hoping to successfully audition for a part in West Side Story.
Ben says, ‘She claims not to remember me from that day as there were hundreds of people auditioning. I’m not sure that I can believe her as I remember that I was wearing a very fetching corduroy jacket which must have caught her eye!’
Despite the jacket, all was not lost, and Ben and Sophie spent more time together when she became President of the society and he, Treasurer. While rehearsing for Anything Goes, the pair became inseparable.
Sophie says fondly, ‘We became friends, and grew closer and closer until I knew that it was inevitable that we would end up together. It was an old-fashioned courtship really. Ben was, and is, the perfect gentleman.’
Despite their obvious rapport, it wasn’t until their friend, Helen Mumby (Classics, 2005), gave them some tickets for The History Boys at the National Theatre, that their relationship truly blossomed.
Ben recalls, ‘They were excellent tickets and after enjoying the show we went for a walk along the South Bank. That would have been an excellent place for a first kiss, but instead we went for the more romantic location of the bus stop outside Sainsbury’s Local on Waterloo Road,’ (a location many alumni will be very familiar with).
They were finally married in Sophie’s hometown of Geneva in July 2011, surrounded by family and friends (many of whom they had also met at King’s). Ben and Sophie’s advice for a happy relationship is to laugh often, forgive easily, and always keep hold of that magic.I'm a white heterosexual male who voted for Hillary Clinton even though I can't stand her. Why do I feel like an outcast?

This seems to be the one sub this would work in. This would be moderator denied on politicaldiscussion and if I trotted out a throwaway for the SJW-ified OMC it wouldn't make it out of mod queue.

Ever since the election, I have seen the in-fighting of people who consider themselves liberals in the US to get worse and worse as everyone is pointing fingers. Just today, I see a thread of a tweet Michael Moore did about keeping Pelosi around as House Minority Leader which devolved into people bashing Bernie Sanders, calling him a "con man" and his supporters "MRA's", calling progressives disruptive, and saying that "white males aren't the Democratic Party base". I'm an independent but I find this to be insulting. What good does it do to offend people and write them and their potential contributions off because of their race and gender? Anyone who looks at my history can tell I took a Karma hit because frankly I think keeping Pelosi around when she has seen massive losses is not inspiring when America needs the Democrats more than ever and having a leader who is the epitome of "coastal elite" also sends a bad message.

I've known Trump was trouble since he divorced Ivana. I've known Hillary was trouble since the "co-President" debacle and saw her using the state I was raised in for political gain as blatant carpetbagging. I gleefully voted against Hillary three times but voted for her because I wanted to move America forward even if I think she is a poor human being. And yet I'm seen as unnecessary and that the Democrats shouldn't care about me because I was born the wrong race and the wrong gender.

I voted for a woman I loathe because I wanted a better world for my unborn kids, the kids of my cousins, my LGBTQ friends, my friends of racial and religious minorities, and white women. Why then are Democrats lashing out at white males so much and trying to drive willing allies away from their party at a time they need all the help they can get? Are my views thinking your leadership is tired/broken wrong? Is calling a female politician "flawed" a "sexist dog whistle" when I know if they were male I would still see him as such? 

TL;dr: Why do I feel out of place as a liberal white male who sees fellow liberal people looking down on me for my race and gender? Also, the Democrats are their own worst enemy.On macOS with Apple M1 the Save as PDF creates huge files. As alluded to in a now closed question/issue with same title, Firefox apparently renders the file as an image. Using system dialogue to print results in the same large file size.
An example.htm file with 2 embedded images saved as PDF from Firefox is 26MB (typically too large to email), while saving same file in Safari results in a 2.4MB file.
My recollection is that the behavior is similar on Apple X86.
How can I limit the size of'storage' folder in profile folder? IS there a setting for this?
I understand that this folder is used by websites to store information on your disk, such as site preferences etc. Is that correct?
Best community forums?
I would like to be able to type in a web address without typing.COM every time. I was able to do that until recently. Is there a way to do that?
What is with your Firefox pop-ups?
Links won't open. If I click on a link on one page (e.g. email) the link won't open. Even to get to this page from Firefox help I had to use Google.
I've been using a saved search on eBay for years. A month or so ago when I ran the search [I'll use figures from early this morning as an example] for the toy BAYKO it told me there were about 520 items [which should take up 11 pages]. The page count along the bottom stopped at 8 throughout. I scanned through the pages and, everything was fine on pages 1-6 and 8. However, page 7 [regardless of which way I moved to it] said zero matching items had been found. This is not an eBay problem as Chrome displayed everything, including page 7, correctly - please advise.
I come not to share an idea, but to identify a problem. I stopped browsing with Firefox several months ago upon realizing that my bookmarks were obviously copulating like rabbits. Just this morning, I deleted upwards of 22,000 redundant bookmarks (all but a tiny handful of my legitimates) and now, even as I watch they're back up to 22,183 and the bookmarks bar is shimmering with activity.
The attachment is a screenshot saved in a.docx, showing my Firefox bookmarks folder on the left, brimming with 22,183 files. And on the right is this page open in Firefox with my bookmark bar shimmering with metaphorical rabbit droppings.
The redundant _Homes folders contain nothing visible.
The redundant BookmarksBar folders contain legitimate bookmarks, some of which are redundant, along with a varying number of empty _Homes folders.
I select one _Homes folder in the Manage Your Bookmarks Library dialogue, and SELECT ALL to determine the number in my Bookmarks Toolbar = 22,183, BUT the oldest file, according to the "Added" column is about ten minutes old.
