There was/is a recent lawsuit against Google for paying other browsers to make google the default search engine, and I think it was ruled against Google. And that payment is like 81% of Mozilla's income. So if they have to stop those payments, Mozilla's is gonna have to find some other ways to make money or cut back massively on their budget. So while I don't like ads, if Mozilla has to do this to stay around, I'll support them. If I got any facts wrong here, someone please correct me.

You could hammer 100 little tack/nails into a board and hang them vertically. They'd be a lot longer vertically then they are wide, so you could do like 25 across x 4 down. You could maybe even still keep the plastic sleeves on them.

Or find a big donut shaped pillow, with the same diameter as a neck, and put all them on it?

Oh hey, I made a haiku.

You are a person.

I am a different person.

We are not the same.

I mean, what you personally call it isn't really going to make any difference, so if we're trying to optimize your mental health, just reframe the naritive in your head. You're still calling it Twitter to honor what it used to be, back when you respected it. You are refusing to acknowledge the nazi dumpster fire it has become, even if you still need to talk about it.

I personally basically never have a reason to mention the site when taking to another person, but if/when I do, I'll call it Twitter just because I think it would annoy Elon, if he somehow knew.

I weigh 175lbs naked, but you really can't trust those grocery store scales.

Oh, sorry about that. My wife and I use that follow up when we compliment each other, but it's probably not well known enough to just use randomly on the Internet.

But it's a reference to a flight of the concords song https://youtu.be/YwFPJ2AWrEU?si=1kAt6OcO_1Sy_Nbp

You're really good at critiquing social media posts. I got another here. You're good at finding shortcuts around this part of town.

I think he's mistaken. Those relics are green, so clearly they boost HP. (or maybe stamina)

We definitely are seeing things faster than 24 Hz, or we wouldn't be able to tell a difference in refresh rates above that.

Edit: I don't think we have a digital, on-off refresh rate of our vision, so fps doesn't exactly apply. Our brain does turn the ongoing stream of sensory data from our eyes into our vision "video", but compared to digital screen refresh rates, we can definitely tell a difference between 24 and say 60 fps.

If we identify something as a UFO, is it still a UFO?
