Not just Europeans, from the article: "As Andrew F. Smith details in his 1994 book The Tomato in America: Early History, Culture and Cookery, before the fruit made its way to the table in North America, it was classified as a deadly nightshade"

"Advertising to Children is a general no-no.."

Uhh what? Advertising to children is like no1 priority. That's why Kim K etc is in fortnite, happy meals are bad food aimed at kids and of course standard TV adverts can be heavily aimed at kids, even tho its the parents spending the money.

Not affiliated but this website is a perfect example: https://www.birdshades.com/

There's a couple of other websites selling similar things, you can also buy UV film yourself to apply to your own windows. I first learned about it on Grand Designs!

Link to the grand designs build where they call it ornilux glass.

"Other collision's" kinda takes blame away from what's happening, its glass windows. This from wiki: "a 2024 study on the survival rate of bird-building collision victims indicates that previous research was vastly underestimating the number of deaths caused by collisions, and in actuality well over 1 billion birds die from collisions in the United States every year."

Fun fact, there's a layer they can put in glass that makes it visible to birds but not us, but its more expensive, so it isn't used most places!

The new CEO has said he wants to turn Firefox into a "modern day AI browser"

What's this? I'm at a loss.

"If you're going to give it, you have to be able to take" is such a ridiculous statement when you're talking about the thinnest skinned man in existence. Trump gets offended by everything.

I still think GoT is worth watching until the end of S6, the battle of the bastards is a fantastic episode and seeing Sansa's arc play out was pretty satisfying. Then it went to absolute shit.

Same, I've got a bookcase that I look at and think "ooh yeah I'll read that again one day" except new things get added to the list all the time and I've realised there a high chance I won't ever read some of those books again.

I thought nothing was going to be the OG oneplus, bringing flagship killers at decent prices. Not the case, I got the first ear ones, had heaps of issues, no help from support and they stopped updating them. Years go by, looking for a watch, try the CMF watch by nothing, I've had nothing but connection issues and bugs and a dislike for the weird lack of customisation (can't make a timer widget unless its one of the set times they choose? Why??) It's put me off ever getting a phone by nothing.
