da02··on Facebook is cooked
The first half of the last paragraph is a warning: Get schools to stop using Facebook. If they are showing that kind of content to a grown hetero-woman, I'd hate to wonder what they show to everyone else.

I never signed up to that site because I thought sooner or later Google or some startup would just clone it, lower the ad count, improve censorship, and run it at near break-even. Especially since you don't have to save every single post created for eternity.

da02··on Scientists find a way to regrow cartilage in mice and human tissue samples
Seems like it should work. I do not have experience with that condition. A quick search online (patella tendonitis hyaluronic acid) yielded this study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22526713/

So they are using hyaluronic acid injections for patella tendonitis. Taking hyaluronic acid orally would probably take longer for effects compared to injections. Most people would prefer the injections because they feel safer for a doctor to do all the work. I prefer the tablets. If you have the money, I guess go for the injections. I would use the H.A. tablets. (With a tall glass of water, and do not take at the same time as blood-thinning medication, like pain killers or drugs.)

I had good results with hyaluronic acid for knee osteoarthritis. Sometimes they sell it as Type II Collagen. "Source Naturals Hyaluronic Joint Complex" was the best for my relatives/friends' knee problems. I take it a few times a month (with resveratrol) for smooth skin. I have been taking it since 2008 without any negative result.

da02··on Kroger acknowledges that its bet on robotics went too far
Here in the Houston areas, supermarkets like Kroger/Walmart/HEB/etc always have single floor buildings. Why can't they build multi-floor buildings for storage upstairs and retail walk-in sales on the ground floor? On the above ground floors, they can create an automated or semi-automated system for employees to gather up items for online/delivery orders.

Have you tried "uBlock Origin Lite"? It is by the same author, Raymond Hill (gorhill). It has been working fine. I use "optimal" level for the filtering mode. (Note: I use Chromium on Linux)

Do you still live on a farm on in a city? Here in the suburbs, something is making animals "less smart". Every neighborhood has signs about missing pets. I suspect it also affects people too. Why get a pet when everyone is too busy to take care of it?

da02··on AOL to discontinue dial-up internet
In case you have elderly relatives and T-mobile is available in your area, it might be useful to contact T-Mobile (via X.com or retail service) and ask for the "Basic Mobile Internet 30GB" plan (Service Order Code: MI30TI or MI30TE) It is $10/month for 30GB with auto-pay. Then get an unlocked phone and put in the T-Mobile Sim card and activate the hotspot (or via USB tethering since Wifi is too complicated for them). Although, I am not sure how you would limit the speed down to 56k to prevent them from going over the 30GB limit.
