Our infrastructure is crumbling, tech is being exported and offshored, space is in tatters, and the latest from the military is an incredibly expensive jet it still won't work, and incredibly expensive boat they just don't want.

I just keep copies of a heavily encrypted txt file with all of my passwords, and while it's a bit less convenient in theory, in practice I've never had to worry about it or change my system. It's as secure as I choose to make

In what fantasy does the US Dollar collapse, and our society is still stable enough to trade in something like gold? I'd invest in agricultural and blacksmithing skills if you're really worried about that.

Or better yet, if you notice that your workplace is starting to resemble the old, bloated, wildly checkered bureaucracy of the CIA run like hell. This guide seems less like a style guide in general, and more like an attempt to flush some no

Some forms of dementia are the result of vascular disorders, and high blood pressure is more likely to exacerbate, or directly contribute to that kind of failure in older age.

To be fair, tech is full of relatively unfamiliar and complicated language and concepts (at least for the average Journalism major). While I won't deny the sensationalist nature of the coverage (it is the British press after all), I do
