Train yourself to let go of Q&A sites you fear to lose. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Rejoice for those who become one with the Internet.

Physics question

Given you have a 6 yo, 22kg husky and a road bike. What is the maximum weight you can have before your husky no longer capable of pulling you on a relatively smooth and flat surface (like those roads in the city)?

Idle observation: on Web Apps, asking a nontrivial on-topic question is likely to yield single digit views and zero input. But ask an off-topic question on webdev, and chances are, some onerep will crawl out of woodwork to answer it. Odd.

Is it possible to reorder search results using mobile website? Example: stackoverflow.com/search?q=Peanut the default sort is relevance and my attempts to change that do nothing. (Opera)

rene

@zaq at the right side I have a drop down that let me switch the order and it does work in Chrome

it uses the &tab= in the url like http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=Peanut&tab=votes

user315433

Must be an Opera bug, then. The switch is there, it just disappears after tapping it, with no changes to the URL.

rene

Isn't it a security feature?

I recall that some browsers can refuse to replace the location from a script

user315433

Could be that. No console to read, unfortunately.
