    DuckDuckGo had been my favourite search engine for ages but today they turned on me.  They asked me if I'd let them be installed for Windows.  I let them install to Brave, then they wiped out my previous installation of Proton Pass, which I'd just got for securing passwords; I couldn't even reinstall that as DDG wouldn't let me.  I had to delete Brave completely, with all its saved data, and reinstall it, simply to rid myself of DDG.  Now I'm looking for an alternative search engine. :/ 

    DuckDuckGo used to be a reliable search engine, but I think they were bought out. I used to be able to find things on there that I couldn't find on google. Now I use yandex, which is a russian search engine. I saw a comment from someone that they use metager.org which is a meta search engine that lets you choose what providers you want. They chose yandex and so far have had the best search experience. Hope this helps. 😊

       Peeve: people who say you need a non-stick pan for frying eggs. You don't.

       Non-stick pans with tetrafluoroethylene were first made in 1954. Fried eggs appear in written history in around 1,000 B.C. That writing, in fact, instructs you on how to successfully fry an egg; use plenty of cooking fat (it specifies low-acidic olive oil, but seeing as I'm surrounded by pine trees and moose rather than olive groves and jackals, I personally go with butter or tallow).

       Perhaps if people bothered to actually learn how to fry a damned egg before becoming celebrity chefs .. Mutters.

    From my understanding, those non-stick pans have chemicals on them that are not good for our health overall. I don't trust them. It's why I prefer cast iron everything. Some families pass their cast iron kitchenware down to their children. It doesn't ever go bad. They can rust if you leave water in them but that's easily fixable.

    Getting ready to dig into my undersea garden, and noticing I don't have the 'lumberjack shoulders' problem with the poses on this mushroom.  So is the weird shoulder effect due to a messed up Maitreya body some have mentioned... or is it the poses one uses that makes the diff?

    I use Maitreya and I hated how the shoulders looked. I had to get a shoulder deformer to make them look right. 😑

    The scary part is, I have a sewing machine that looks very similar upstairs. An old "Singer". I remember when my mother bought it. and that wasn't yesterday, unfortunately.

    I want to get one soon IRL, and learn how to use it. I think it's a very useful skill to know that's now being forgotten.
