For someone who considers the MoCA "a very hard test", it's not all that unreasonable to consider an obsequious oracle "super intelligent".

Of course, we could say the same about a slightly brain-damaged labrador retriever, but they aren't setting national and global policy regarding the most likely cause of human extinction over the next few decades.

I kind of agree it's increasingly annoying to find dead space on a titlebar, and I absolutely loathe Microsoft's use of the title bar to stick crap I have never and will never use. I don't search enough to waste half the title bar on a search bar, I couldn't care less who I'm logged in as, and "Saved to this PC" is nothing more than Microsoft flipping us off for having zero interest in automatically saving everything OneDrive.

At the same time, I really do like using the title bar as a tab bar. It's a decent compromise insofar as they're conceptually like mini title bars for each page we have open.

Round controls, however, need to die yesterday. Rounded, sure, but having a full semicircle wasted at each end of a button is just a gratuitous waste of space. "Compact" is fundamentally incompatible with "round".

Am I missing something here? Application Menu -> Settings -> Extensions&Themes -> Themes. You can choose a few common defaults, customize your own, or download thousands of them from addons.mozilla.org.

You're the third comment implying we can no longer apply (or even make) custom themes, yet the linked announcement bluntly states exactly the opposite and implies they're increasing the number of themes available. Admittedly I run ESR rather than the bleeding edge, but we're only talking six months old, not some antique from the late '90s.

You don't need to edit your user prefs to disable dark mode, themes are right there in the main settings.

That said, the vast majority of people using dark mode will consider some purple highlights in dark mode far, far less annoying than switching to light mode.

Personally, I prefer most of my "non-content" screen elements to be low-contrast grayscale and, wherever possible, dark grey window backgrounds. Purple is an annoying violation of that preference, but still beats bright white backgrounds and obnoxious Candy-Crush-like icons / controls / borders by a mile.

Yup - Brave works pretty darn good.

It's fine if you do it in a parking lot. It will be easy to hose off afterwards.

Right wing freedom of speech bullshit. When you are an elected official you are not supposed to make money from your official position. In the real world it's impossible to completely stop this, but if one had any integrity it wouldn't happen.

If Obama had sponsored as meme coin when he was in office your brain would have exploded. Your hypocrisy so toxic it's surprising you haven't died from it by now.

If you used that line against Trump you would find yourself facing charges of threatening his life. See 86 47.

Do you think that endorsing terrorism is a joke?

You are a sick fuck.

Big chain fast food is the shortest path to consuming Trump's tainted overseas mystery meat. They all use the lowest quality/cheapest ingredients and want to have as little as possible product in inventory.

Maybe someone who is an outsider will start monitoring for toxic ingredients in the food supply, but for the foreseeable no government entity or business will check anything. Even if problems are detected everyone will keep quiet because they are afraid of the wrath of the Orange Tyrant and his brain worm rotted sidekick RFK Jr.

It's a certainty that Trump sill eats a mostly McDonald's diet because he has lifelong food paranoia. It also extremely likely the version he gets is completely different then what normal people eat. They use real McDonald's packaging but use less-toxic ingredients, and much lower amounts of added salt. His health is so bad that if he was mainlining real junk food he would have keeled over by now.

It's not impossible that an animatronic version is in the works. The public unveiling of the zombie Mitch McConnell may be a trial run of the future immortal President for Life Permanent Fearless Leader of America Forever USA.

(Note: for the MAGA/Republican/brain-dead true-believers, the previous sentence was low quality satire, not a threat against Trump. See 8647)

So what? The heard immunity of the general population even protects religious fanatics up to a point. It's when death cult Republicans with organic brain damage (RFK Jr.) get even more idiots to jump on the stupid train that these types of outbreaks become more common. Given that those with reduced immune responses are much more at risk, calling out death cult Republicans is an accurate description.

This is why heirloom tomatoes are so much more appealing then generic chain grocery tomatoes. If you get heirlooms the shoulders, the part near the stem, will not necessary look as ripe as the rest of the fruit. Breeding for uniform ripeness and thick skins decreases flavor and texture.

Buying heirlooms at chains, even the high price ones, is no guarantee of good flavor. The intrinsic shorter shelf life and thinner skins make the supply chain/shipping effects more noticeable.

If you get small cherry/grape tomatoes, even at a big chain, you will have a much better shot at getting good flavor and texture. You loose having a nice big juicy slice, but the flavor is much more likely to be good.

Never refrigerate tomatoes, it ruins them. Better to have them get overripe/soft then the flavor/texture destruction of refrigeration below 7-10C/44-50F.

It's just fear porn.

```
McDonald's tracks adherence to the platform, and notes any deviations from the algorithm's price recommendations
```

Which is what you'd want to do for any prototype system.

They should then track foot traffic, gross sales, and net profit and see whether the recommendations increased or decreased them when followed.

Having a control group is valuable, not a target for punishment. If McD Corporate were sane, anyway (cf. ice cream machine fiasco).

The one near me was charging over $6 for fries three years ago - I can't imagine what it's up to now. Haven't been back since.

What does 'slaves' mean to you in this context?

So last week's "summit" went that well, eh?

Blockbuster got caught having two copies of their web page. The external one had lower prices, but in store prices were higher. If a customer said the saw a higher price in person the clerks would go to a in store computer showing the higher price.

What were the repercussions? Almost nothing. They paid a fine unrelated to how much money they stole and promised not to do it again. No individual received any direct compensation.

Just like a class action suit. Normal business practice. Nothing to see here, move along.
