Anyone have a good browser extension to remove the AI summary Google does? I know I can add -ai to the end of every search but that's not exactly in my muscle memory yet

Maybe I just switch search engine tbh

I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this:

Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.

I feel like this new research showing that Covid *literally* infects the heart and gives "healthy" people new serious cardiac problems should somehow be bigger news.

Helen Jane Long is one of my favorite contemporary classical pianists and one of her piano books here is super cheap???

Perhaps I'll have to buy it and give learning them a shot. Especially Through The Dark being one of my favorite piano pieces ever.

Wow, they lost Preston Manning.

ANALYSIS | Alberta’s reliance on oil revenues means that when prices fall, the economy follows | CBC News The Alberta government's new budget projects years of deficits due to slumping oil prices. Some experts say the province’s predictions for price recovery may be optimistic.

"So we have to start wondering, if that is that break-even price of $67.50/barrel of oil needed to balance a budget, is it too high? Are we too optimistic on that front? And that's what leads to having, in some ways, what I would call a structural deficit,"

A fluffed up burrowing owl, very round shaped

A fluffed up burrowing owl, very round shaped

Maximum round!

Did you know 'borb' shape has a purpose? (Other than looking ridiculously cute)

When birds become round fluffs, they trap a layer of warm air in their downy underfeathers, shielded by outer feathers, insulating themselves to stay toasty even in extreme cold!

Cute and convenient! 🪶

The way that the original PCjr release of King's Quest (1984) draws and then 'paints in' each scene element in the same way that golf games and graphic text adventures often do due to technical limitations is very pleasing to watch.

Explainer: Water capacity issue in Waterloo Region Why is water capacity suddenly an issue in Waterloo Region? According to regional staff, we've been "over-pumping for the last three years."

If you are concerned about the water crisis our community is facing, please watch this excellent presentation from (ROW) hydrologist. We have been over-pumping for 3 years & the aquifer needs to rest. Operating as we currently are is not an option. #onpoli www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/vi...

It's just murder. Everyone is "gasp! what about the children???" when it comes to them reading library books but bombing a school full of little girls is just sparkling regime change for a prosperous democratic future.
