Use of mice skews drug research against humans also. Not that I want to use drugs on humans. But you have to wonder how many drugs there are that work on humans but not mice.

That was a major upgrade to Firefox. Most extensions have since done the fixes needed to handle the upgrade.

Does anyone have a single thing that Chrome does that FF does not? For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone uses Chrome. But if anyone has information on Chrome that I do not, please let me know.

I'm sure Pence and Trump have never had a conversation where Trump said he wanted a moon landing to happen during his time in office. /eyeroll/

Yeah. True enough. Just looking at it all through the lens of survival of the fittest and evolution, I guess.

This is all caused by advancement in medical technology. So many people are alive now that should have died during birth. So many should have died at younger ages that are kept alive due to medicines (that people depend on for life). Pain r

This is off topic, but .. My cousin graduated from Harvard and he's like the least well paid and least connected person I know. Just a nerdy introvert kind of person.

> If the upper 5% at my company earned enough to double the wages of the other 95%, I'd be pretty damn mad about those leeches. I'm pretty sure every large company in America matches that criteria.

I leave notifications on. But for christ sakes -- logout of the Slack app when you want to focus. I logout for long periods and then open it back up when I want to see what the rest of the team has going on.

In theory this sounds a little better. Obviously there is some distance to cover in implementing it in reality.

Same here. I'm going to keep my 2013 Model as long as I possibly can, because I've heard too many horror stories about the newer models.

I don't know how Rick Steves came to be, but he is a gem. His show is so ridiculously wholesome, it's a true joy to watch.

If Trump had the power to censor bad websites, think about how much effort he would currently be putting into censoring any website that talked about him badly. We should be glad he has no such power.

I hate 4chan so much, its a diseased cesspool of morons. However, I hate the idea blocking them. Its such a slippery slope from censorship of bad websites to moving to censorship of good websites that the government does not like. Edit: Als
