I think that everyone still converts what-ever-unit used to time. For example, from one of my earlier jobs, we had "T-shirt"-size units, ranging from XS to XL. It took two weeks after introducing them until someone figured out that XS is two hours, so in a sprint you should be able to do $SPRINT_DURATION / 2 XS tasks. And then the person figured that S was equal to, say 4 hours and so on and we were back on square one. But we didn't estimate in concrete time units. /s


Please share how you did do that, that sounds awesome!


    #!/bin/sh
    PROFILEDIR=`mktemp -p /tmp -d tmp-fx-profile.XXXXXX.d`
    mkdir -p $PROFILEDIR/extensions 
    cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/yvwc47i0.default/
    cp extensions/* $PROFILEDIR/extensions/
    cp addons.json extensions.json $PROFILEDIR/
    cp -R browser-extension-data $PROFILEDIR/
    cp cert_override.txt $PROFILEDIR/
    #cp prefs.js $PROFILEDIR/
    echo 'user_pref("devtools.selfxss.count", 10);' > $PROFILEDIR/prefs.js
    cd -
    firefox -profile $PROFILEDIR -no-remote -new-instance
    rm -rf $PROFILEDIR
Created this as a script somewhere in my path. You'd need to change `cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/yvwc47i0.default/` to match what yours is.


Not GP, but you could just do the same except after making the temp dir: copy in `profile/addons.json` and `-r profile/extension*` from your main profile. (There might be other files needed to, not tested.)


I rented a Tesla Model S four months ago, and I enjoyed it very much, except for the fact that they had hidden the button for the fog lights in some menu on the touch screen - it was not easy to turn on and off while driving - at all! Otherwise, it felt like someone had thinked through the most things.


I'm pretty sure that the Volvo XC70 I rented two years ago had exactly this feature. If you'd kickdown it will release all the furious anger hidden beneath the hood.


Every automatic does this, even a 1980's classic Mini has a kickdown cable. It basically forces the gearbox to shift down to one gear lower than it would normally do at the speed you are traveling at.
