   Is there any workaround to view this? I get 403. Edit: Nevermind, the workaround is to set default DNS to something other than cloudflare. Oddly I didn't expect that I was on 1.1.1.1 as I'm on Ubuntu but dual boot Win10, with wind

   I wonder, when www.egress.com picked the name Egress, did they have a discussion where they decided it would be a normal part of their business plan to sue unrelated companies ad infinitum, for the life of their business?

   Would KolibriOS fit the constraints to do something like this? Per the description it "requires only a few megabyte disk space and 8MB of RAM to run." but has a recognizably usable GUI and office suite. https://kolibrio

   I primarily interact with the web on desktop clients. This solution has been implemented perfectly for me. While I agree with your ideal, my guess is that it may take at least another decade for user agents to adopt a good solution for this

   Currency is slightly more fungible than this. Not enough to invalidate your point, but worth noting that I've purchased food, transportation, lodging, and knickknacks in Saudi/Bahrain/UAE and Oman using USD. All of the above

    This is my understanding as well, would love if an expert could weigh in on the question.

    You're right that it's rock salt, and while some of it is mined as coal/metal ore is mined, the salt can also be extracted by gently washing it out with water, as is done near Freeport, TX. The oil doesn't do that becaus

    The salt does not dissolve into the oil, it contains it like a glass contains water. Salt caverns are very interesting for storing all kinds of oil / hydrocarbons / chemicals. Most fluids found naturally in the ground (oil, natura

    Grocery stores like HEB in Texas have also been preventing workers from wearing masks, even if they want to supply their own.

    Very genuinely curious, do most people consider these "UX" instead of "UI"? For me, I'd like to be able to click or at least copy/paste the titles of the studies shown on the map, e.g. when I hover over houston

    Staff at HEB have repeatedly told me they're not allowed to wear masks even if they have their own. HEB has also failed to implement a one person per cart policy like Aldi. The lines out front are dense, like going into a sports arena,

    I'm interested to see who will be able to build the melt-blown fabric machines needed for N95 masks/filters. The last number I saw showed China manufacturing 600,000 N95 masks per day, and 1/3rd of that was from a single fact

    Intermittent. Reloading sometimes makes it work. Probably best not to reload multiple times, that multiplies the hug of death effect. Just bookmark it and come back later. I feel silly, I've known about fold.it and fold@home for years
