Microsoft is as pushy as ever getting you to use their browser, but honestly right now its the best so why not use it?

I use it but I use Edge Chrome FireFox

On another note my brother says he never had a problem with the keyboard but it keeps locking me out of alpha mode. I may be touching something that sets it off.

What happens is that capslock, t, y, left shift do not respond. Random stuff might bring it back but going to keyboard settings through the control menu, clicking in the first box and holding down capslock eventually restores function.

Just want to add that DeSantis makes me appreciate Biden.

I am waiting for other sites to pick that up but in the meantime DeSantis created a police force to investigate election fraud. https://truthout.org/articles/in-blatantly-fascist-move-florida-gop-passes-bill-to-form-election-police-force/

Yes. Fox News is dangerous --- especially to the ones watching. It is really Fox News causing brain fog.

Notepad should be on the system by default.

I had to save a file from their store editor on desktop and then rename it as txt.

I was really astonished that Microsoft acted so desperate.

Google sells info on what you do so Microsoft also sells the info?

Nothing is on it except for Edge.

OK but I thought this would be the end of it.

I would really like to know.

It could be mass hysteria, food poisoning, getting indigestion then too much Tylenol, or anything. No answers seem to be coming.

Not really. Probably has something to do with how it is preserved or manufactured, which happens kinda frequently. There were multiple people that said they ate just the serving size and ended up getting deathly ill from it.

I don't think they released what exactly is the cause of what happened, but I've definitely eaten more than 4 oz of lentils and I've never pissed blood in my life. These people were suffering from liver failure and some had to get their gallbladder removed. This isn't a case of just too much fiber lol

A happened and afterward B happened is not cause and effect? If Lentil and Leek Crumbles cause liver failure - possible for all I know - this company does not have the think tank and laboratory to figure it out.

Pretty sure the recalled lentil snack thing was specifically from one company, and it isn't an issue with lentils or leeks in general. People were getting sick (like blood in urine and bloating 3x their size type shit) off of like 4 oz of the junk.

You would have to be really unlucky to come up with a toxic meal made of lentils and leeks. It is more likely that the stuff tastes good and people were consuming too much fiber and too much protein.

Need a better source but their are people saying too much fiber causes bloating.

I read an article on cnn that a meal delivery service recalled a snack made of lentils and leeks. People are blaming it for extreme pains and at least 2 persons blame it for having their gall bladders removed.

So is the snack toxic or did people just eat too much of it? Leeks have been cultivated for 4000 years and lentil have been eaten forever.

Could it just be a protein imbalance? As in too much protein in the diet? Scratch that Too much sodium One serving of 4 oz is 19% of daily sodium requirement. How much were people eating?

I am not good at guessing people's ethnic origin. Being as my neighborhood is known for being 85% Hispanic and 50% Mexican, Mexican is a save bet. Burying a food jar to ferment is the most likely.

I found this (thank you CE for pushing my mental boundaries)

"
The name translates to Shephard Style, which is derived from the origin of the cooking method. Although al pastor is a Mexican meat, the style of cooking is an original of the Lebanese. Lebanese people immigrated to Mexico and brought with them their famous cooking method: lamb shawarma. This nearly identical cooking method to the Lebanese lamb shawarma is a vertical spit-roasted cooking method.

I thought that they were digging a hole for a bush. It is that time of year. I live in a building where some people may not understand English but it may be more of a matter of nothing that I have to say matters (*jokeonme)

They did not plant a plant. They do have what appears to be a laundry basket of garbage on the fire escape. There is an empty water bottle sticking up in a hole adjacent to where they dug and filled the hole.

Whatever?

Does anyone have a clue? I have not seen them walking their dog for a while ... I would think though that you would bury any mammals at the back of the yard instead of next to the building. (I seriously doubt that they are Orthodox Jews and burying something for Kosher).

I am learning 3-D printing. Maybe someplace will have me.

I am playing Chrono Trigger. I will try to finish it. I think the problem I had in the past is that so much is known about the game that there is this perfect gameplay and it is so frustrating to see what I have missed This time I will try to focus on playing it with a normal amount of muddling.

I get it. When schools do poorly take funding but when police do poorly give them funding. I get it. Fund the police.

Japan in 04/2019-03/2020 had 119,276 domestic violence cases (Japan has a population of 126,860,301) [https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/01/13/ national/domestic-violence-cases-record-high/]

America had in 2010 (for a 12 month period), 12,673,000 (6,982,000 - Women; 5,691,000 - Men) victims of Domestic Violence (United States has a population of 329,064,917) [https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf]

The numbers don't come close. American has an order of magnitude higher number of DV, even accounting for the population size differences.

CT because I can play it on my laptop in the yard. I just got an adaptor which plugs into my portable battery. If I wasn't such a softie, I would play it on my DS Lite. Somehow whenever I try to make something work which I have not used for a long time, ... . It always ends up being a time_sink.

Eventually, some day, Nier Automata.

Nier, but only if you're willing to commit to getting ending E. The base nier ending is fine and you'll walk away having played a genuinely fun platinum games title with a somewhat generic story, but the replay is where shit gets real and you need to beat that to get access to the entire second half of the game anyway.

I will think this over.

I am trying to learn 3D printing now that I have a printer. When I finished Elden Ring (plat) I got serious about learning 3D printing for weeks. I can more or less slice an stl and load the gcode. I still have not figured out how to stop the stray filaments such as a funnel with random filament inside. My impression is that it is easy enough to cut out a few of them (stray filaments) than to wait extra hours for the print to finish.

I just spent a week on Dragon Quest XI to finish the trophies and thought about getting the definitive edition. I really puzzled over the hint for the final boss because doing it is not enough to beat the boss. I splurged on restorative items and I survived long enough that eventually I executed the winning tactic by accident.

I am willing to start a recently released game but none of them seem story driven. There is Fire Emblem but I am so bad at battle strategy that I have to follow a guide step by step and it still takes me multiple tries.

So Chrono Trigger or Nier Automata?

I want to see a cross cultural study on domestic violent that shows America is ahead of Asia because I have my doubts.

I think strips of bacon are suitable for teething if it is thick enough.

I think big corporations want people to get so excited that they forget that they need housing, better jobs and better schools for their kids. It does not look like this is happening. It looks like people are talking and no one is forgetting.

Shill for Big Pharmacy. They lose money to weed. No MD I know says weed is harmless. They say weed is less harmful than the alternative. Way, way cheaper and much more is known about weed which also makes weed safer.

I read the Axios article. It says Abrams want to raise pay and improve training. New York state troupers get $115,844 and Abrams is suggesting $50,000 for Georgia.

Yes. If nothing else Bernie would keep us informed.

I am pretty sure that right to bear arms

not ----> concealed carry

This is about a militia.

MrAntisocial posted...

I can't wait for the supreme court's next 2nd amendment decision where they decide arms doesn't just apply to guns, but all weapons. Who wouldn't want to have a concealed nuclear warhead or grenade launcher? By the original and textual readings of the constitution, those should also be completely protected rights.

Additionally, would it be legal to own and operate tanks and military fighter jets without any licenses? Those would count as arms too.

Probably anyone who is able to acquire one of these can stay underneath the radar?

I think you can really get the old men of the supreme court riled if you add a clause denying a license to anyone with impaired vision and hearing.

I appreciate your dedication to this topic

My building has a small yard and I see a few butterflies. Mostly I see this white butterfly and another small butterflies. There are some Monarch Gardens in my area. I have not figured out what the other small butterfly is. When it rests, its wings collapse.

The cabbage butterfly is beautiful and I think it is the only white butterfly. When I got coopted by my older brother to work in "our" garden, I had to squish all of the cabbage worms. I think I was 12 and this is not something you forget.

Also you can put netting over your mustard and cabbage plants and netting does keep the butterflies from laying eggs.

The small white cabbage butterflies lay eggs singly. This does not make it easy to spot the eggs.

If you want to reduce licenses, then take them all away NO grandfather clause and hold a license raffle every year where your license is only good for 5 years. For fairness, mandate classes taught by NY state colleges.

A study which debunks the claim.

I seem to be the only one who read the study.

White butterflies are territorial. The claim is that make a female - slightly bigger - and stake her out by your plants.
