Generally in almost any setting, uncomfortable questions should only be asked in private.

The POTUS can change the official language of the US just by signing an order? Wow, cool. Now I want to be president so I can make the official language Swedish.

Al 3 sites you mentioned are working fine for me right now. Try isup.me to see if other people are having problems.

Is this the same thing they said about comic books, video games, and rap lyrics?

Generally put 1 cup of water into the instant pot to let it make some steam pressure. I usuall put the broccoli on the little wire platform but putting it the water should be fine. Older models let you set the timer to 0 minutes which is fine too. Unless the stems are pretty thick, by the time the pot comes up to full pressure it's ok to stop. Also, use the steam release button to let the steam out as soon as it's time, so the broccoli doesn't overcook.

I've never noticed a bad smell, but instant pot for 1 minute high pressure is quickest way to cook.

These days there is FT8, where the whole conversation follows a template (callsign, callsign, signal strength on a scale of 1 to 9, goodbye) and is just a few dozen characters long. It can be completely automated, so you can have one to one contacts with hundreds of total strangers in just a few hours, with your radio doing all the talking so you don't have to show your vulnerable side. You can sleep or play tetris through the whole session, and then get a list afterwards showing the different countries where your radio has gotten to know people (or at least other radios). It is great for shy hams.

That is interesting. I wonder if it applies to the Debian package, which debian.org presumably compiles.

There is a book called "Doctored" that argues that a lot of the foundational research on Alzheimer's and amyloid plaques was faked. Excerpt:

Separately, there is supposedly some evidence now that Alzheimer's is caused by a virus, or by a history of viral infections.

Do you mean the rhythm and dynamics, like Beethoven's "da-da-da-DUM"? That removes the tune and there already weren't lyrics. Or do you mean something longer range, like sonata form? Or just general mood? Or what?

“The words that must not be used include ‘bias’, ‘biased’, ‘women’, or ‘female’

I've seen the terms "pregnant person" and "pregnant people" in the press a few times recently. It hadn't occurred to me that this was a Trump thing, to avoid the woke terms "woman", "women", etc. Wow.

Besides the privacy issue, the TOU is ridiculous. They supply a tool (the browser) and you use it. It's not a collaboration between you and them. You can use it whatever way you want.

Sounds good. Then one of the insurgency groups can be the Judean People's Front.

It says

Mozilla will collect light data on usage, such as how frequently people use the feature overall,

That says to me they want to know (among other things) how many browser users make zero use of the AI feature. To acquire that info, they have to collect it. You have to assume the worst when you see phrasing like that.

They use the term telemetry in a special way. If they are collecting info from users, that is telemetry under a different name, ok fine. Not collecting info means they receive 0 bits.

It says they're going to collect usage data. Nothing about opting out.

So phone-home telemetry that you can't opt out of. The ghost of Mitchell Baker will haunt us forever.

Lol, oops, fixed. :)

It looks like Cardinal Sin died in 2085 2005. I guess he was a mortal Sin.
