Boo me if you want but I need google search as my default search engine. I updated the librewolf browser to 153.0.4-1, after the update tried to edit policies.json (by deleting google restrictions) so that I can make google my defualt search engine but with this latest version of librewolf, policies.json has changed.

So, is there a way to make google my default search engine? Thank you.

I have a 12 year old, spayed female cat who has a bloat in her abdomen for 3-4 days now. I went to vet today and my cat is getting antibiotics for a possible colon infection. No blood work and biochemical tests done due to my financial strains.

No fluid in the abdomen according to x-rays. No blood present in urine or stool. Cat is alert, eats and drinks well. Doesn't have any issues passing urine or stool.

These are the medications lists that will be used in the following days:

Ampicillin

Trimethoprim + Sulfadimidine (Sulfamethazine)

Hepatoprotective vitamin (liver support)

Chlorpheniramine maleate

Tarantula cubensis extract (anti-inflammatory)

Tranexamic acid

Phytomenadione (Vitamin K₁)

Simethicone (oral)

If you have any feedback please let me know.

I quit smoking abruptly 7 months ago. I smoked for 13 years and enjoyed every moment of it. I tried quitting many times; the best I could manage was not even a month. I always crawled back to nicotine like a loyal dog. I lost two of my uncles to lung cancer, and even that did not make me stop.

In the last two years before quitting, I could feel that my lungs were not as good as they used to be. It did not affect my daily life; I had no shortness of breath or fatigue, but I could feel that my lung capacity was decreasing.

Seven months ago, after going out with friends, I smoked more than usual. I did not rest the next day and kept smoking. And that was it. Breathing became literally a workout. I had to push and force my diaphragm just to inhale and exhale. I went to sleep and managed to sleep for a couple of hours, but at 2 a.m. I woke up with the feeling of drowning. I had a small device that measures blood oxygen levels; when I checked it, it showed 97 percent. I could breathe in reality, but I did not feel like I could.

I started panicking, which made it worse, and I called an ambulance. They took me to the ER, and there they immediately gave me asthma medication via a nebulizer. After inhaling the medicine twice, I felt massive relief.

I left the ER and since then I have had no desire to smoke. It vanished. Of course, there are moments when I want to smoke, but when I remember the ambulance ride and the ER room, it fades quickly. I used asthma medication for about two weeks, and since then I have had no trouble breathing.

My home device was correct; in the ambulance they measured my blood oxygen level as 98 percent. Even with a 98 percent oxygen level, the feeling of drowning was intense and scary. What if my levels had dropped to 90 percent or lower? I simply cannot imagine living with COPD. That must be terrifying.

Don’t go back to smoking. You don’t need a hard knock to stop. Get help and get healthy. Love y’all.
