I'm a web developer and I have a deep love of Firefox. I've been on it since version 3 and I'll be with it to the bitter end. I love that uBlock Origin is still available and while the news of Firefox's declining market share can be quite concerning, I hope it will be around for a long time.

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba where it is quite cold for a big majority of the year. I have dabbled with supplements because I get a couple of major colds every year.

I've heard things like you only need 15 minutes of sunshine per day to get your recommended dose of Vitamin D, but I've also heard it can be quite bad for you if you have too much in your system (and it's hard for your body to flush excess amounts).

If there a safe level of Vitamin D supplements where you won't run this risk? I don't drink milk either because I'm lactose intolerant.

That's what I thought too when they touted this meteoric rise to 100M in the early days of Threads.

If it's tied to Instagram, and these users aren't using Instagram while they're on Threads, isn't it basically the same difference?

Not sure why I got downvoted— for context to non-Canadians, a core policy of the Conservatives is to defund the CBC.

I mean, they'll probably shut down if Pierre Poilievre assumes power, though.

I really enjoyed Flexbox Froggy and felt like it helped me a lot better than Grid Garden. Maybe my brain just isn't a grid-oriented brain— CSS Grid never seems to stick.

I'm getting a 502 error with a robot graphic.

EDIT: It's up for my partner beside me, and it's up for my mom in Calgary, but still down for me.

Thank you for this— I was equally frustrated I couldn't look up Canada too!

Can't send any messages on Messenger on my phone, but facebook.com appears to be working fine.
