They are telling Voyager users how to modify that setting. We have options, but apparently the default is a Voyager specific link.

TIL of the concept of the "glass cliff", whereby women or ethnic minorities are often handed the reins of power only as the organisation or government in question is at its most vulnerable to failure

When you skin an animal, you have two choices. Cure it, or tan it. If you just let the skin be, it will rot. You can cure it by coating it in oil, fat, or salt. That will turn into a cured hide which can then be used like other fabrics. Alternatively you can soak the skin in a solution of quicklime (ground limestone dissolved in water.) At that point you scrape the hair from the soaked skin. Then you soak it in a barrel of weak tannin, followed by strong tannin. That becomes leather. There's a few more details, but that's the gist.

This is way more exciting than most car mods.

I've owned 3 or 4 PS2s. Had no clue, and I was one of those annoying assholes that refused to stand the thing up, because "it might wear out faster." I also refused to play movies in any of my PSs (1-4). I had dedicated DVD and Blu-ray players for that.
Gran Turismo 3 was/is one hell of a game.

You'll want to look up some tutorials. I oversimplified the process.

Two entirely different processes. Hides are skins cured with oil, fat, or salt to prevent them from rotting. Leather is a skin that gets soaked in quicklime, scraped, soaked in weak tannin, and finally soaked in strong tannin to turn the skin into leather.

I'm a blacksmith, not a tanner, so I don't know.

While you can do it that way, I don't know the process. I know how to make tannin by soaking oak logs in water.
And yes, that is probably the first way we figured out how to do it, but as I understand it, that's a very stinky process, and to be totally honest, I found tannin made from oak to be rather smelly.

It's absolutely gorgeous. I don't even care that it can only run at half speed on my laptop. The screenshots I get are second to none.

One of my ex's managed to burn water. I don't think she could fry things with it though. I banned her from the kitchen after that.

The guy that fired the gun did so in response to the cop pulling his gun and firing first. Self defence.
He actually has a case that could overturn Qualified Immunity, should anyone actually let his lawyers know about the full text of §1983, not the illegally amended text that was copied into the Federal Register in 1884. The relevant Congressional Record is 1881.
