I was proposing a future hypothetical.

I don’t think it is implausible that chicken growers may find they can genetically modify the chicken to only produce the part of the brain involved in growing the meat/bones/etc. I would bet that this is already being researched as a “halfway” to the “vat of chicken.”

I personally think this is horrendous and gross, but … I just wonder, would other people be ok with chicken “without a brain”?

I’m sort of disappointed I was downvoted.

What if you found out that “cloned meat” had a partial brain - like the made a chicken with a partial brain - just enough to grow it - fed through tubes - would that be better or worse than now?

It’s quite hard to pin point my exact disappointment - but I think I either wanted something new, or something with greater depth. Preferably both.

I personally feel like there was not the level of character development I wanted. In the second gig, when the guy at the end had his brief soliloquy, “I’ll go on ahead.” It was great. I was connected. And the music in that show, amazing, the whole plot of international deceit with “terroristic immigrant populations.” It was amazing.

Dunno. I know that we are in “rerun territory” but, I expect better.

I’m ok with people disagreeing with me though. Maybe this one isn’t in my style or something.

This comment makes no sense. And, especially with the recognition over the last 10 years that football players experience super high rates of brain trauma/damage, this comment seems… hmmm… <fill in your own adjective>.

Omg, I loved that calculator.

Does anyone have a list of addresses for the grocery stores and their planned dates?

We should gamify it. We should socialize the medicine, so everyone can afford it - I mean, come on- but then:

If you work in a lab which creates a life saving drug - you get a ticker tape parade through every fucking city in the USA - you get a bronze statue in the “park of medical heroes.” Everyone knows you as “the man who fucking cured HSHBRHF variant 4x.”

The bike lane is usable. I mean, for about a half-a-block at a time, cause of the parked cars.

I wish NYC would allow citizens to take a video of a car parked in the bike lane for more than a minute, issue a ticket, and make it profitable for the ticket issuer. All of the problems would go away overnight.

And actually, I wish we could take videos of cars going through red lights. Or, LOL, illegal u-turns. “Go around the block” is not a thing anymore. Everyone just turns around wherever the fuck they are.

Yeah, I just hope NYC is taxing the fuck out of those quadra-cycle-boxes. I know we aren’t, but come on- Amazon trucks routinely park all day near my apt, blocking the bike lane and half of the road. Tax them, tax them, tax them.

Thanks. I’ll try that.

Here’s sort of a strange question. Not too strange though ;-)

Let’s say you had a basic rice and beans meal - garlic … onions … root vegetables … blackbeans and redbeans … then kale roots and final kale leafs … salt pepper

What spices do you use? What are your favorites?

How do you get your protein? I’ve been doing the plants - and eating beans a lot - but this last week I ate some meatballs in my soups and boy - I really crave the meat.

edit - not sure why it quotes irrelevant text in these replies

Ok I have some news -

It’s not safebrowsing - or probably not - maybe I just can’t turn it off now or something.

So I

• “refreshed” firefox to get to original state
• disabled all of safebrowsing via settings and then via about:config -> “safebr*.enabled”
• disabled all telemetry that got turned on via refresh
• turned off fucking AI

Nothing worked.

Eventually got logs running with: “export MOZ_LOG=timestamp,rotate:200,nsHttp:5,cache2:5,nsSocketTransport:100,nsHostResolver:100”

found out mozilla is doing fucking push notifications?? wtf. that resolves to google? turned that off.

Anyway, it does a bunch of shit. All talking to google in the end.

I hate Firefox. I’m so over all of this.

When I start the browser, and it is blank, and I have done nothing, it should do nothing. If it needs some base certificate updates, it should do this once a week. Or never. Let me decide.

Talking to google, even doing dns lookups every fucking time I open a browser. God. Who are these people. /rant

I’ve disabled all of the safe browsing via about:config

still talks to google. weird. also it still keeps the connection open either for re-use or, dunno.

Firefox is trying to connect to 34.160.144.191 at startup. It continues the connection, perhaps to reuse it, or whatever.

Firefox should never talk to google. And if there is some database that google has that firefox needs, Firefox should duplicate that DB. The fact that I have this thing talking to google anytime I do anything is gross. Anyhow. Blah blah blah. I’m annoying! ;-)

I have a feeling it’s the safebrowsing. Will find out later. And then will disable.

Hmm, I don’t think so in this case. Although I will check tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

True

f course not; it’s the distro that makes the call. But I want the Librewolf folks to make the effort to get accepted by the distro.

Hmm, I will try the LibreWolf - will also try disabling safe browsing.

Thanks for the info!

Wait, is it possible to side load on ios? can I distribute ipas directly?

Nah, I think we just need a dialog box - could be like osx - “are you sure you want to allow the plugin that you said you wanted to use? It was built by: you, not signed by Mozilla.” Maybe put a “You have unsigned plugins running” tool tip - that gets displayed at startup or every 8 hours.

Again - imagine if you couldn’t install the programs you wanted on your computer - this is current firefox.

I suppose we are both beating the already-dead-horse on different ends now.
