You might consider allergy including those from food. You can change food brands/flavors, analyse ingredient differences, and note responses. I understand vets can also prescribe anti-histamines. Good luck.

A well reasoned reply. With the exception of dementia and presuming they’re of sound mind, aren’t they free to choose to have end-of-life care? Or is such care too expensive, like in the U.S.?

Why is dying alone presented as something undesirable?

The agency hopes its report will shed light on the country’s growing issue of vast numbers of its aging population who live, and die, alone.

“Churches are not to be touched!” he added.

That would carry so much more weight if churches didn’t touch or otherwise affect people who don’t follow their particular faith.

…I’ve only ever read about grid-scale versions of such projects.

i don’t know why people are so allergic to firefox…

To which I offered a possible answer. Does everyone have misconfigured operating systems?

The Best Web Browsers of 2024 | HighSpeedInternet.com

Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

Yep, I’d probably be wasting my time going down the uninstall-reinstall rabbit hole and would probably not find speed increases.

I love Firefox, used to use it all the time. Now it’s slower on Ubuntu than Brave. I mean slow as in irritating to use, click and wait.

…The sanctity of human life, the notion that it cannot be terminated without the highest justification, is what separates us from barbarism. …

Truer words have not been written, yet we see in the news everyday that crimes are constantly being committed. When we are judged (fit for death) not based on what we do, but rather with whom we associate, we are all in danger.

I could have sworn I read that Musk was a free speech absolutist. Freedom for me but not for thee?

Steam may be okay for the wheat crust, generally when baking bread steam is applied in the initial rise period, but is generally turned off at the end for a dry final bake. The cheese is another matter. Ideally the cheese has to do more than melt, it should develop a partly caramelized appearance on the top (slightly brownish in places). Whether that would happen with this kind of oven is unknown.

We now have a collection of maybe 400 DVDs (not pirated, legally purchased). Sure, everything we watch is reruns, but there are no commercials.

Is nuclear war winnable? I’ve been led to believe it is not: MAD.

Perhaps it’s evidence of a Master Control Program. 🤣

Probably more than a few generations. The U.S. failed to deal with the Islamic religion other than giving education to females. The entire culture of the area would need to be changed, and that means mitigate aspects of a radical religion. The U.S. was probably unwilling to do that due to its freedom of religion philosophy.

I’ve never had an OnlyFans account, but I do have social media accounts. I have had the distinct impression in recent years of being stalked, followed online.

However, that intensified monitoring seems to have only just begun. NCMEC just got access to OnlyFans in late 2023, the child safety group told Reuters. And NCMEC seemingly can’t scan the entire platform at once, telling Reuters that its access was “limited” exclusively “to OnlyFans accounts reported to its CyberTipline or connected to a missing child case.”

Hu Youping, 54, was stabbed multiple times while trying to restrain an attacker at a school bus stop in China’s eastern city of Suzhou on Monday. She died in hospital two days later.

I don’t pretend to understand the politics of the extremists, but Hu Youping is a hero. RIP.

Sorry to read that. How dare you sun yourself as nature intended. /s
