I agree, I use probably a very similar charger for you along with a few other products and they're very high quality and were well priced. I use their screen protectors too, and when it chipped they sent me a new one no questions asked

Isn't that what the USA basically does? That's why things are often banned in the EU before America, because the FDA (or whatever) normally has to prove it's bad before it gets pulled. In the EU it's the other way around

Yeah? And where is your server hardware located? If it's on a VPS somewhere, well, how can you trust them? If it's at home, it's extra space and electricity that's being used. At the end of the day, email IS NOT secure.

I had huge problems with spam on Fastmail, enough that after my year ended I moved to another provide. I really liked Fastmail, and the service was pretty good (although when I asked them why my domain was getting put into spam filters they

I agree, but where did you hear books are banned? They made it so people from outside couldn't send books into prison, but the prisoners could access books from the in-jail library. And anyway, that whole thing got changed today (I thi

I'm not sure that I agree. If you look at this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhyYgnhhKFw ) you'll see just how much money they make for the UK. I'm also quite sure that most of the Royal Family do mor
