I'd rate the Cambridge Analytica scandal about the same as the Panama Papers: the only surprise was that we actually caught them in the act for once.

I feel it's pretty safe to assume. All a US agency needs to gain an "asset" in a tech company is find an employee with the right blend of patriotism and trust in the intelligence agencies. They might not have full-time underc

I did say annoying, not impossible. For me it was no car, not the master tenant, no Residency Affidavit in my state, and I don't own a printer. So, an annoying afternoon to pull up my W2 and a paystub and send them to a Kinkos, as oppo

How often do you replace your phone? I've been using an iPhone 8 that I bought used for years now, and the battery health is not great. Still not planning to replace it until the battery is so bad that it dies on me nearly every time I

Generally Subreddits only have the most recent episode threads pinned, while this give full lists by episode. So, saves you a search. Decently useful if you want to check out multiple episodes threads, I guess.
