    This article does not make its case. He shows a graph of "random" data, and then just kind of keeps going. But that random data is the meat of the whole thing. Cut out 60% of the u…

    A profile is a full new browser, these containers are just tabs. So they mix into the current browser window. They are much more lightweight, and the workflow is better, just switc…

    I have containers on Firefox, and I do NOT have this extension installed.

    I'm a little confused here, I've been using the containers feature already for years now on Firefox. And I have no add-on installed for it, it just works. So what is it that they'r…

    Perhaps I've misunderstood, but I think it's not the text that is unicode complete, it's the transliteration rules that are. Unless you install special rules you won't be doing ext…

    Resetting it will kill bacteria, certainly. But there are a number of heat-stable toxins that once created will not be destroyed that way. I guess you've been doing this for a whil…

    You are perfectly free to keep selling what we've been eating. No one is forcing people to plant the new stuff. If you make patents illegal, no one will breed new stuff. How does t…

    The EU caused the deaths, not the heat. People have been dying from heat in the EU for decades now, and the EU has done ........ nothing (well other than declare superiority to the…

    Thousands of people died in the EU over this heat, and you think it's American that isn't doing well? "more than 1300 excess deaths have been recorded since 21 June linked to the e…

    That's an argument you made, I was simply responding to this idea that parents don't want to parent. It's not true, they do, they just can't. A solution is needed, and I think age …

    I checked the list of pesticides in the article, and almost all of them were banned because of the effect on pollinators, not because of human health. So using these pesticides onl…
