I wonder if those issues are resolved by using the Dexie.js wrapper, because I've had no problems with that.

Energy > National Nuclear Security Administration (civilian)

Should we be concerned about that being shut down?

I thought the main reason is because it's a lot more difficult blocking advertisements in an app.

... humans don't generally say

"Wanna grab lunch at 1,748,718,000 seconds from the Unix epoch?"

I'm totally going to start doing that now.

Lower birth rates is NOT a crisis. In fact, it is the most effective SOLUTION to the ACTUAL crisis of HUMAN OVERPOPULATION which is at the root of every problem e.g. climate change, dwindling resources, increased transmission of disease, etc.

If my 2002 Land Rover Discovery II is vintage enough, I will gladly pay you to tinker with it, the next time you're in Oregon USA that is!

"For some, regret might be slow-brewing indecision that amounts to loss, like not having children."

Or ... having children!

The decision to block bots is not always about protecting intellectual property. A practical consideration I haven't seen mentioned is that some of these AI bots are stupidly aggressive with their requests, even ignoring robots.txt. I had to activate Cloudflare WAF and block a variety of bots to prevent my web app servers from crashing. At least they're reasonable enough to identify themselves!

Considering the gigantic problems of dwindling global resources, climate change, etc, birth rate collapse isn't a problem. It's a solution.

The problem as summarized by the photo isn't drugs. The problem everywhere -- not just in Oregon -- is Human Overpopulation. The severity of it in Oregon has increased because of populations spilling over from elsewhere, most notably California. Sadly, Portland is finally a large city, thus it has the same issues all other large cities have. This overall problem of Human Overpopulation which is the root cause of pretty much every other problem in the entire world (climate change, wealth gap, dwindling resources, etc) is exacerbated by certain politicians opposing birth control.
