Kagi phone app is pretty nice. I do all my searching in Kagi, the clicked results launch my default browser and the search results stay stable where they are.

In MOST cases it actually is a structural issue. The brain anomaly that causes paused and intermittent breathing is much more rare.

One of my daughters always asked to be taken to Toys-R-Us for one of her b-day presents so she could pick out something. Watching her walk around in wonder for an hour trying to decide was an even better present for me. I'm sad they're gone too.

Within the rock construction are wood beams, mortar and charcoal that are all datable.

Not even. Minnesota is fine with betting as long as it is tribal betting and lawmakers are getting their share of the cut. Look it up.

I feel the same way when I work on older cars.

Owing child support is a negative on children and society in general, but I'm sure there are plenty who will argue in favor of it.

You live in the Truman Show. Just enjoy it god damn it. Stop complaining already.

New comment by UberFly in "How far behind is each major Chromium browser?"

UberFly — Sun, 03 May 2026 17:30:08 +0000

This is somewhat useful, but I know for instance that Vivaldi is often one version behind for the sake of stability, but also will also release incremental security updates in the period before major version updates.

The peer review process was repeatedly cheated by self-serving fraud. The medical field requires honest results and reporting. Why are you defending the fraud?

Not my experience with Vivaldi even remotely.

This effort by Microsoft is so limp. I don't think at this point they'll ever be able to create a desktop experience for users over their own needs.

There are plenty of opinions on X. Are you just upset that there are diverse political opinions on there now?

Killing the Kamala endorsement wasn't a difficult call to be fair. Bezos just didn't want to endorse anyone. Easy to understand.

What's to solve? Here's the way the gap is supposed to work and often does: People work for love or money on a product. Other people love the product and are happy to purchase it. This creates income for the original producer and a beneficial product for the consumer. If a product is successful and popular enough, the capitalist cycle gains momentum for both parties to continue the relationship.
