It's sad that this skips over all the edge cases... and most of them are rare and there is an 'Other' category. Amber eyes are relatively common though and I think that would be worth a callout and a brief mention that it's not always just melanin that affects eye color.

I found a guy on linkedin that has the same name, just slot him in and pretend nothing happened, wouldn't even have to change any of the campaign marketing. Dude looks to be in his 20s and manages a coffee place, definitely more than qualified.

If I have to choose between keeping nature around and not having to buy an iron again, is gonna be a tough choice.

But yes, what kind of unit is this?

How lifelong friendships are made.

Germany and to a lesser extent Italy were supplying a significant portion as well and it's likely others would step up if they pulled out. Probably with worse prices and worse hardware, but we're not at risk globally of running out of places to buy weapons. It's horrible what is happening to Palestinian civilians in gaza, but in the end, the US armament supplies aren't strictly required to enable Israel.

You aren’t free to do anything unless we live in the wild.

I think that would solve a lot of the problems if that was still something you could do. I think a lot of people yearn to live in the 'wild' without realizing all the downsides that come with that and I think that thought is more popular because that's just not an option in today's world. And, I mean like the real wild, no laws, no government, etc.

I wish firefox was faster but benchmarks are pretty common, it's not hard to test. It's kind of an unfair fight at this point honestly, large swaths of the web are just built for chrome. There are other benchmark options out there, but even using Mozilla's own kraken benchmarking solution, it loses tremendously more than it wins. I honestly really respect them for not building their benchmarking system to make their solutions come out on top.

In some benchmarks the lag from firefox is very significant and then on the other hand, when firefox does win, chrome is usually right behind it. It's not ideal.

A lot is kind of an understatement:

"In 2022, 81% of Mozilla's revenues were derived from Google"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation#:~:text=In%202022%2C%2081%25%20of%20Mozilla's,twice%20hourly%20from%20Google's%20servers.

With that level of support, I don't think an ultimatum would be required.

Yeah, legitimately could choose just about anything else besides polio and it would have landed pretty well.

You joke, but that's actually a really interesting story. Jonas Salk, the developer of the first polio vaccine was adamantly against even patenting it and claimed that it 'belonged to the people'. There is some potential controversy there, but we mostly just think he was a pretty great dude. Dude's a fucking hero regardless.

I get the analogy you're trying to make, but maybe want to switch to something else.

Boo, that's far more complicated than popping a pill once a day.
