It is genuinely disheartening when people in this board start talking about things they buy when they're WILDLY out of my price range. It's almost like living in a flyover state and working in education isn't optimal for inco

Holy cow does the word "could" do a lot of lifting in that title and article. This reads like a nothing piece. Am I wrong?

Where I live the bald eagle takes the place of the black vulture in the winter. There is something kind of wrong about watching a bald eagle eat a road kill raccoon.

I think the difference is that you would rather take your chances that your own system gets compromised by Mossad, which you can't really do anything about, than willingly hand over your information to a country that is increasingly ho
