I've used Thorium in the past and thought it was decent. But given Google's updates to the chromium project I've moved away from chromium based browsers.

Put your penis in a bowl of vinegar. It'll help you find any cuts which can increase the risk of infection while also disinfecting those wounds.

But you probably shouldn't ask strangers on the Internet for medical advice or you'll end up with a pickled penis.

It will help keep prices competitive in the long term. Chinese EV makers aren't competing in a free market as they are heavily subsidized by the government. It's no different from what Silicon Valley VCs do, pump loads of capital into a new industry so that it's difficult for any competitors to emerge. Once a company has a monopoly on a market innovation suffers, products stagnate or actively get worse, prices increase with a lack of competition, and the consumer suffers. In the case of EVs, there is the added issue of manufacturing capacity which is important for security. While I would love a cheap new EV now, I would prefer for my children to have sustainable cheap EVs in the future.

I'm running a search instance on a VPS so my home IP isn't linked to my searches. The main disadvantage is that my VPS is in Toronto and I live 2hrs away so geo searches don't work very well. For instance, if I Google "restaurants" I get results for local restaurants whereas if I Gregle (I named my search engine Gregle) I get results for results near my VPS.

DM me if you want a link to my instance to check it out. It's open but I don't publicize it because bad actors could ruin my IP addresses reputation with spam queries via the API.

how would anyone know if a particular name is being unused?

I have a couple of nice domain hacks and I use them for email and random services I run so the root domain appeared to be abandoned. I received so many messages from people wanting to buy them I just started pointing them at other sites so they would stop hassling me. I've had one of these domains for nearly 20 years and it's my main email address. I'm not selling because it would be a year long full time job just to update all my services ๐Ÿ˜…

It'll be end to end encrypted. As far as I'm aware, beeper needs access to messages send cross platform

I'd grab both pills and quickly swallow them just to see what would happen. I might end up a 12yo with $5million. I'd be so obnoxious

The data does not support the argument that an increase in immigration leads to an increases crime. As a side note, I'm an immigrant and I come to a complete stop at stop signs and drive the speed limit. None of my Canadian born friends do ๐Ÿ˜…
