Q: Posting question on electronics?

rbhatupToday I saw a drone hovering over my house and recording everything. I've seen many drones do this with my neighbors also. I read that one can build a device with off-the-shelf components that can hijack drones, similar to the icarus gadget. Where can I post a question that will help me build s...

I can't tell if these two posts count as duplicates or not. And if they do, I can't tell which one of the two is a "better" post to link to. meta.stackexchange.com/q/213606/351462 meta.stackexchange.com/q/109063/351462

@Fawad eh. Sometimes
user248725
@Fawad Depends what it's for. Once I asked a mod to suspend me from SO for a week because I had finals coming up and didn't want to get distracted, and when I said that finals were over a day early, they un-suspended me then. I don't think that counts, though.

Anyway, I'm looking at internships, including some opportunities in the UK. I'm fairly sure I can work there, but the wording of the UK government's website tool thing that tells you if you can work there is... not entirely applicable for my case, so I wanted to ask if dual EU/US citizens can work in the UK.
user248725
Where could I ask about that?

one year suspension...
They might have earned it
Not easy to get one of them. And if they think there's a mistake, they ought to talk to the mods and CMs themselves

Q: Extension to link official documentation

shantanuoIs there any firefox or crome extension that will link manual pages to stack overflow?

Guy wasn't even entertaining
or efficient, since he wanted to troll chat and actually spent time asking scrappy questions so he'd have a chat account...
which would then get nuked.

Maybe those which cost like $1000000 worth a bit more, but I doubt it.
It's just a measure to take money from people, and spy on them with those crappy "toolbars" and extensions.
(which I consider viruses by themselves, or malware in the very least.)

@JourneymanGeek yup, worst I've ever seen. Avira was almost not bad.... not no good as well.
@JourneymanGeek I don't, that was just the first report. I edited my comment to say "or whatever fancy extension of some "anti virus" you installed" :)
but the screenshot proves beyond doubt it's the same case.

And perhaps the Twitter/IM influence will redefine "it is" contraction as "its".
user315433
I didn't mean to rant about that... just noticed that Googling "reality destroys our dreams" brings up Google Play lyrics page that uses possessive it's consistently. Google Play has a little higher standards than random lyrics sites.

@rene I did 3 days hiking in the snowy mountains - couldn't sleep well for 3 nights because combination of 1) the difference between mattress & soft cotton quilt on a queen size bed in a quiet en-suite bedroom and sleep mat, sleep bag in a tent. 2) freezing cold. 3) on the 3rd night, I finally arranged my bedding to be warm enough, my tent collapsed because of strong wind around 3am-4am in the morning.
