just started using Firefox with ublock origin for the same reason. I run the kagi plug-in on Firefox so I can tailor my search engine preferences (https://kagi.com/). I go back and forth between those two mostly.

outstanding list!

HA! sick burn

I really shouldn’t respond to this since I’m just rehashing up one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever had. but, what you said is actually pretty close to what my position was. we parted ways when it came to the more distant cousins. I suggested a cool hundred K USD out to second cousins 'cause, after all, 300 million doesn’t buy as much as it used to

but surprisingly, it didn’t really matter because we didn’t win the lottery. imagine that. /s.

My lesson learned was that arguing on principle isn’t usually worth it

My wife and I bought 10 lottery tickets at a time when the pot got up to 300 million or something like that. we were talking about what we would would do with the money once we won and couldn’t agree on how many of our friends mortgages we would pay off. we MAY have had some other things going on in a relationship at that time, but it’s still one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever gotten in.

I had one of these about 7 years ago. didn’t realize their history went so far back

we’re a social species. community standing plays a role in our ability to find mates and improves our childrens’ chances of survival

people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

here here!

didn’t think much of the sequels though

“we’re on a mission from God”

personally, I have no desire to live longer than I’m intended to. living to that age with more vitality, however, that sounds great!

do you mean fusion? fusions the one that separate atomic nuclei that we’ve had since the 1940’s. fusions the one where atomic nuclei are combined, that make headlines when the reactors run for more than a few seconds

Can KDE support air drop between iOS and Android devices?

has anyone had any experience with this one? good, bad, other?

a little blunt, but there’s the classic Boaty McBoatface

North East, US here. probably fine but I don’t trust it. we use a water filter for drinking

I loved stumbled upon! it’s got repetitive after a while, but I found a bunch of stuff I never otherwise would have

adjacent answer, but resource requirements are lower than might be expected since the simulation only needs to capture elements observed by a conscious entity. the vast majority of the known universe has not been observed in any detail that requires significant memory or processing resources. this same technique is employed by computer game designers so that only scenery and elements within view of a player are fully rendered.

having gotten zapped by 120VAC and 230VAC I totally agree. the former sucks and is no fun while the latter made me question my life choices
