I was thinking of buying my mother a pistachio tree for Christmas, but it turns out you need a male and female tree to get nuts. (I realise that sounds school-child hilarious) and there are two problems there... they are pretty expensive, and I'm not sure I can tie two trees to a rental car and drive halfway across a state like that.

One of the very first things humans learn when they are born is to alert someone when they aren't okay. Then a bunch of people tell you not to and give you whole layers of shame about what you can need, when you can need it, and how you are allowed to ask, and who is allowed to ask, etc., etc.

#Firefox #ProTip: Stop videos from autoplaying! (Updated for Firefox 63!)
1. Go to `about:config` and convince it that you know what you're doing.
2. Search for `media.autoplay.default`.
3. Double-click `0` and enter `1` if you want to always block, or `2` if you want to be prompted for every site that tries to autoplay (which can help with some sites that don't work quite right with blocked autoplay.)
4. Enjoy your significantly-more-pleasant browsing experience!
