Well it is a replace operation.

The experiment went well and we got all the reactions on the board. There was also an upvote which is nice to see on there too as it takes even more space up.
Everything seems to fit well (as expected really), but it was interesting to see how the hover panel coped with having 18 reactions. It just shows 10 of them (I assume most recent) and then indicate how many others as a single line of text. Which I feel is a good decision as you wouldn't want a huge panel that never stops growing.
On my mobile phone it doesn't seem to cope quite as well. Not sure if CP has different CSS for mobile sites so that might explain why it is how it is.
I also noticed that the reactions don't actually show unless you are logged in. Which seems a bit strange as to why that should matter (as I can see votes without logging in).
Anyway, thanks again for those that took part

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So Mrs Wife (a member of that "they") found my silica gel capsule collection, accumulated from vitamins, medications, and various sundry other things that are best kept un-soggy.
She wants me to get rid of it - even though it was years in the making. An idea I had to collect something that (perhaps) no one else collected.
"They" typically own tons of shoes - that's OK to them - but if I want to collect something? No understanding whatsoever.

You can dry and reuse it: ~150C for 2~3 hours will do.
I keep some in the car in winter to help reduce the screen misting up overnight.

Reconditioning: back in real life (i.e., chemistry) we would recondition our drying agents (such as DryRite) the we used in desiccators (used for storage, not making dried fruit).
But - back to your post. Either you've a very tiny car or the entire back seat is filled with these things.
This, too, may work and it's easier. Works in bathroom for several showers. rub a thin layer of soap over the desired area until it again appears transparent. That is, a bit of bar soap smeared with a slightly wet towel or, if you can figure out a good concentration, some soapy water. It needs to be only a very thin layer.
Also good to leave "secret" nice messages for Mrs. and maybe get "a little extra" that night . . .

Cut your losses, click OK.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I too have a silica gel capsule collection. It has proven useful over the years for well... keeping stuff dry.
Difficult choice. The SO or the useful collection.

Actually, not that kind of collection. It has no utilitarian intent. It's like collecting string or foil (or CP Reputation points).
Once you do it for some useful purpose it loses the romance. The adventure. That "come see my silica gel capsule collection, my dear. Mwah ha ah.

I am with you, brother. I too collect something no one else seems to. In my case, it's empty prescription bottles. Mrs. Wife and I have reached the age where maintaining our ideal body chemistry requires a handful of pills in the morning and a handful at night. Most of these medications are provided in amber-colored plastic bottles with easily-removed labels.
These bottles are in a range of useful sizes. The large size is great for reading glasses. I use a lot of the medium size bottles to store USB cables and adapters of various sorts, which frees me from untangling cords. The smallest bottles are great for easily lost items like memory cards, microSD cards, and so on.

Alas - I have to mess up your no-one-else wants a bit. I, too, collect them in small amounts. Anywhere from putting in a few of each pill for a weekend trip to small items like small parts from old pairs of glass and those springy things that hold watchbands on watches.
But empty bottles are always a treasure ! I just finished cleaning out a spout and squirty top from a bottle of Sriracha sauce after it served me well with its original content. Someday, I'm sure I'll have something to put in it. Really.
One thing - from the description of the things you can put in your empty medicine bottles I will take literally your description of "handfuls". Sometimes vitamins come in jars like that but meds? Oh my!

What a dry hobby! Still, standard female procedure in such cases is to let the topic rest for a while and then the unwanted item will suffer an unfortunate accident while cleaning. You will see. That's one of the benefits of not having one of them around. I can keep what I want and even get to destroy it myself.

I'm sure there are many who one wouldn't keep around unnecessarily.
Mine - we tolerate one another's "nuances" and, so far as I can see, the benefits of the last 45+ years have, and still, outweigh any downside. By so much.
Sorry for your loss.
