I'm sure they have. Safari syncs over all devices so I use the other browsers as little as possible now.

Btw what's an android? Haha :)

Meh, Safari isn't available on my tablet or my smartphone and they stopped updating it on my desktop half a decade ago... :?

Angelina Jolie And 5 Other Actresses Who Almost Played Cher In Clueless - CINEMABLEND
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Angelina ... 71926.html

I've never understood why that movie's considered cult never mind iconic.

It's basically the female equivalent of 'Bill & Ted'.

You can now watch 8k videos on YouTube for some reason

Of course, we've all got an 8k display, right?

Blue Beetle was to be Arrow's 'science guy' until top brass said they wanted him elsewhere (DCU film?). They also stopped any further appearances of certain Suicide Squad members :evil:

The difference between a rule and ruler - the former starts measuring from the edge, the latter normally has a space before the measurement starts.

Nah, they're just different ways of referring to the same thing, totally interchangeable.

I learnt the same thing as an apprentice, twenty-some years ago.

We were given a list of items we were expected to purchase for ourselves, one of which was a metal engineering rule, which I still have and which elicited the question "what's the difference between a rule and an ruler?".

Quote CW above for the answer given. Almost verbatim iirc.

Whereas I learned that "The ruler lives in Buckingham Palace; one measures with a rule"

I suspect l_m is correct and it doesn't really matter.

Loads of examples of [LIFTED] rules that people get taught.

"I before E except after C"

"Never split infinitives"

"Never end a sentence with an..."

"Never begin a sentence with an ...."

WHY NOT!?

*silence*

My personal favourite rubbish rule:

The plurals of stadium, octopus, forum....

STADIUMS, OCTOPUSES and FORUMS

(to be fair, so many people use the latin plurals that they're now pretty much accepted)
