I had The Print Shop Deluxe and remember thinking it was the future, and that we woull all be making our own holiday cards, signs, etc. in no time. Every holiday, I'm amazed that everyone I know (including me) is now back to using store-bought cards. I was surprised to just find out that there is a modern version, though it is Windows-only.

One thing that has been (and continues to be) an incredible resource in understanding classical music is the radio show Exploring Music: https://www.wfmt.com/programs/exploring-music/

It took me a while to be able to really get into it, but without Bill's explanations and enthusiasm, I would still be lost. His fantastic voice is icing on the cake.

You can use more than one filter. I've heard it called a Corsi box: https://www.texairfilters.com/a-variation-on-the-box-fan-wit...

Basically, you're making a cube. One side is the box fan, with the intake coming from the inside of the cube. The other sides are taped together filters. It significantly reduces the strain on the motor of the fan, and you can use the cube for a long time before replacing the filters, since each one is filtering so much less air.

I've heard the Scots version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is really well done, and is fun to read even as an American. That said, I have no experience at all with Scots, so my opinion should have very little weight!

Don't forget that a lot of us have weights or other exercise setups at home now. I would definitely try something as an alternative to powdered chalk to keep my palms from getting slippery on my equipment. Especially now that summer is coming and I mostly train outside when I can.

Also, at least in Chicago, gyms have been open for months. They have reduced maximum capacity (I think it's 60% right now), but they were only closed for a short time. You may be severely artificially limiting your sales possibilities.

Just so you don't have the wrong idea, Osterholm's suggestion is that everyone who has already been given the first dose already should get the second dose as planned. Only for new vaccinations should we apply the new plan.

I use DDG for all searches, and do occasionally go to the second page of results (and sometimes even the third). When I do, I either find what I was looking for there or figure out what I might want to change or exclude from the search for my next query.

For example, this morning, I was looking up micro fans for embedded electronic devices, and did find some good results on the second and third pages. Not exactly what I was looking for, but close enough that it was worth digging in to the results.

It was on PIA, when I used them (stopped when I heard about the sale to Kape), so I'd assume it still is.

Mullvad also does this. Here's their server status page, so you can see your options: https://mullvad.net/en/servers/

Yeah, being able to run uBlock Origin is one of the main reasons I don't want apps opening links in anything but my main Firefox install.

If you go into Gmail's General Settings screen, you can uncheck "Open web links in Gmail". All the links I open in Gmail open directly in Firefox for me after doing that.

If I leave that box checked, it does use a web view that is "Powered by Firefox", but I always prefer to have it just open a new tab in my regular Firefox app.
