This is one I did for me, then I though I can't be the only person to have ever needed this.

I'm doing embroidered cuffs for Irish dance dresses. Celtic knotwork in five colors, 16 cuffs total. I create one design, the duplicate it however many times will fit in my largest hoop (4, as it turns out.) To make the cuffs easy to move around, each one is a group of layers: red, gold, blue, silver, purple.

Makes sense? But now, let's say I want to run params on all the blue objects: there might be other elements on the page the same stroke color that I don't want selected so "select by stroke" is out.

This extension allows you to select objects between groups and create a virtual group for them, so they can be selected at will by clicking the "group" name.

It's a work in progress, but here it is. Give it a go.

I'd like to apply as a contract front-end developer. As a user of your platform, I've run into several small bugs and rough edges on your customer-facing interfaces, the kind of thing that makes a visitor wonder "what company worth doing business with lets that slip through?" I can fix them. DM me if you want specifics. - Bill

I was writing Classic ASP when it launched in 1996. I still maintain production ASP applications today.

If your business runs on one, you already know the problem: the people who built it are gone, and the people who could maintain it are getting harder to find every year. Meanwhile the ground keeps shifting. In February 2023, a routine Edge update permanently disabled Internet Explorer: any app depending on it broke that morning, with no warning to the people using it. Microsoft says IE Mode is safe through 2029. That's not far off, and if your app leans on ActiveX for printing or document handling, 2029 is your deadline whether you've planned for it or not.

I can help either way you want to go. Keep it running, hardened and documented, so it stops being a single point of failure. Or move it off ASP incrementally, without a big-bang rewrite and without the business going dark.

Free assessment: send me a description of your setup and I'll tell you what's actually at risk and what it would take to fix. No obligation.

Let's say I'm shooting a movie where the script calls for the destruction of a cabin, like the one in Evil Dead. I talk to my producer about hiring a ... I guess, pyrotechnician? ... to set up a bunch of propane, compressed air, a few 30 gallon plastic trash cans full of gasoline, and enough det cord to send them all up.

Let's assume we have one cabin and we're going to completely destroy it, so there's no second take. How much are we paying the pyros to do the work?

Second question: we're going to have eight cameras on set to capture the action. The explosion AND the crew, DP, director, everything. What's that going to set us back?

Folks, let's be clear: I'm not planning on blowing anything up, real or model. It's a hypothetical because I"m curious. That's it.

Every application I fill out has a list of skills - you type in a search term "CSS" and it loads all the skills with "CSS" in the title. I decided to go hog wild to see what I'd come up with from their selections.

I ended up with 161 skill items from seven or eight search terms. CSS, HTML, javascript, PHP...at least a dozen variations each.

What purpose does

HTML:

• Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML)

• HTML5 Boilerplate

serve? Is a list so redundant actually useful?

My GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. How long would it take to create text to image at 1000x1000px? Or would the card melt from the heat before accomplishing anything?

So, you're a Roman soldier in the first century ad and you've been fighting with a Germanic tribe and captured several of their leaders. Your general orders you to blind them. So how does that work? A red hot poker stuck into their eye sockets? A dagger drawn across the bridge of their nose? A BB gun in the hands of a hyper 6 year old?

I've been asked to create a DVD with a graphical menu. I last did this about 2017 in Windows, but moved exclusively to Kubuntu in 2018. Are there tools to, 1. decode an existing DVD for duplication (the DVD is long out of print); 2. create a graphical menu?

(I already have a service for duplication and artwork. kunaki.com if anyone's interested.)

Wanting to apply for a job via linkedIn, but it has my contact info showing an employer/description from three jobs ago, which, to make matter worse, isn't relevant to the job I'm applying for. My profile's employment history is current. Can I fix this?

(Yeah, I know, megathread for account issues, but I don't think this qualifies, and I couldn't find one for this topic in any case.)

Using the Chrome extension.

I'm job hunting and just about every posting requires some kind of account creation (I don't get that either), and there's one that causing extra work and I thought that maybe there was a workaround for it. What I've got is:

job1.wd115.myworkdayjobs.com

job2.wd115.myworkdayjobs.com

job3.wd115.myworkdayjobs.com

Then along comes

job4.wd115.myworkdayjobs.com

And bitwarden wants to update job1 rather than create a new login for job4. How do I handle this?

I've built an ecommerce platform I intend to put online, and I've tested it thoroughly on localhost, but now I want to test it the same way a user would, and then run my tests on that.

I need PHP, mySQL, ftp, and about an hour. Anything out there like that?

Got a new drop last Friday. The Lan-Tel guys came on Monday, sat on the side of the road in front of my property for six hours then drove away (this is not an exaggeration). Line still unburied.

Is there a number I can call to report it and get the line buried, where I don't have to click through a dozen menus and talk to a bunch of script-reading irrelevant-to-the-issue-at-hand "tech support" people?

My wife ordered these lights, and I like them a lot. I have a gap I need to cross, so I figure, out there somewhere, there's cable and connectors for them. I'm not sure how many wires in the cable, but I think three because the screw-on aviation connector to the wall wart has three pins.

Where could I find cable and connectors?

I've seen someone swallow a bee and get stung in the throat. It was a singer mid-show at a Renaissance Festival. He coughed a lot, spat a lot, drooled a lot, and was in a ton of pain the next day, but he got through it. So what would happen if you swallowed a bee and it made it to your stomach before stinging you?
