Head to about:config in a new tab, accept the risk warning, and use the search bar to find the controls.
To kill the AI chatbot feature, search for browser.ml.chat.enabled and set it to false.
To stop smart tab grouping, search for browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled and set it to false.

Doing so generates an unimaginable amount of respect for life and death.

So while the International Maritime Organization requires these devices be enabled, the aforementioned counties just ignore it when disabling AIS suites their purposes (Illegally changing flags during voyage, poaching, etc).

comador @lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•New Jersey says 3 chemical makers agree to 'forever chemical' settlement worth up to $2 billionEnglish111·8 days agoI haven’t bought microwave popcorn in 7 years. Here’s how to make it better :
- Popcorn kernels of your choice
- Popcorn Oil
- Lunch Paper Bags
- Toothpicks or plastic clip
For flavoring, you can do almost anything you want, but I will give you my favorites:
- Butter + Lemon Juice (added after popping)
- Tajin (added before popping)
- Salt (added before popping)
- Butter spray seasoning (added after popping)
Instructions:
- Add a 1/4 cup (60 grams) popcorn kernels to a small cup.
- Pour in a small amount of oil and any ‘before popping’ ingredients
- Mix the contents with a butter knife and pour into the paper bag
- Fold the bag back up so that the pounch at the bottom has the kernels and oil in it and is facing downward
- Fold the opening edge of the bag shut and secure by poking a toothpick through it or using a plastic clip
- Microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds
Some other suggestions:
They make these Korcci Silicone Bowls and Nordicware has a ‘microwave popcorn popper’. The silicone bowls are meh, but are good for the lazy. The Nordicware one isn’t bad, just small.
A microwave hotplate or just plate can help pop the popcorn better and prevent the oil from getting all over your microwave.
Don’t get discouraged if you don’t do it right the first few times. It takes some balancing to figure out how to properly pop popcorn.
Hope someone finds this useful and please, feel free to ask questions.
and the HOA.

Try and return them first; tell them they give you a head ache and you cannot wear them. Refuse to wear them any longer.
If the prescription lens place doesn’t help, dump them along with the glasses, consider your options and shop around.
I had the same experience 7 years ago. I ultimately went back to my old pair and even bought a pair of cheapos from eyebuydirect.com to hold me over until my insurance covered my next prescription.
