picofarad··on I fixed a tractor using John Deere's self-repair service. Farmers aren't sold
They didn't build sheds around the wells that were insulated enough so the wellheads froze up from the water in the extract, not due to crumbling infra. Now, whether they've fixed the problem, I guess we'll see the next time it hits 0°F.

picofarad··on Google AI Mode shows same products 21.6% more expensive than traditional search
You missed the fees. Contact lenses can be shipped in a flat rate box. Taxes have a ceiling.

I 100% believe the sites are showing different prices to bots vs humans.

picofarad··on I think the military commissary's freezers were hacked
I've noticed stores going to central coolant lines going to cold cases more and more lately. Its all still industrial control. Ideally.

Darn this is hard.

picofarad··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
457 deaths in US history.

Put it in perspective.

No it isn't, cheatengine exists, Q.E.D.

picofarad··on As Wisconsin cities flee Flock, its shared camera network loses value

You know what I mean?

picofarad··on Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia risk
Lol there's only three macros. If you cut out carbs you necessarily increase protein and fat, for the same calories. Unless you are merely saying people should eat less; but that should go without saying.

I have thus far been unsuccessful at carbonating tea and coffee, and I have tried. Carbonated stuff tastes better, to me. And I love iced tea. However at night a diet caffeine free soda is much nicer to drink than decaf tea, and I always have said the day I drink decaf coffee is the day I give it up, as coffee isn't that delicious.
picofarad··on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin
I've never seen an ad for Mozilla VPN, nor any other Mozilla product, in Firefox.

However I have seen billions of ads on google.com and YouTube.com, and search placement, and fraud.

But whatever. How's google pay? Pretty good?

picofarad··on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin
I concur that it is strange seeing the FF/Mozilla vs chrome arguments. Its almost as if some large percentage of users here relied on web ads for their income.

Weird!

picofarad··on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin
What you say is what I do, Firefox is open all the time, I switch to brave or edge if ff won't load something. I use adnauseam as adblocker.

I have never had chrome on windows 10 or 11; nor chromium.

For a year chase.com wouldn't allow me to login from Firefox. Dumb.

I was told this last week, my neck is too straight, probably due to muscle spasms.
picofarad··on I made tinnitus my friend, then it disappeared [video]
Opiates allegedly work for tinnitus, I know two people who were prescribed it. If you're ever prescribed any, remember to log how your tinnitus is.

I forgot to, unfortunately.

The book I have on how to sleep properly says that on your side you hook your big toe around the Achilles' tendon of the other foot, this offsets the knees.

But it also said to sleep on the floor, and no thanks.

picofarad··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
It feels like 200% is approaching, from an arbitrary start point of 2013.
picofarad··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
The 90s was decades ago. I don't see many 2010 kia on the road.

You can't know the quality of new kia "for decades".

I still see 90s and earlier cars on the road all the time (nearly daily). I owned one until 2020, when someone totalled it while parked for me.

picofarad··on No one can afford to make Myst games anymore
If someone makes a machine that produces CO2 in great quantities, I dont think pointing out that people have been exhaling for millennia is a reason to accept the machine.

That doesn't seem to follow.

Walmart bakes fresh bread too. I get it Walmart sucks but they do have everything that a normal supermarket has, including fresh hot food, bakery, deli.
