Holistic health professionals are subjected to an online Inquisition when they attempt to edit false statements and libel out of their profiles only to have the edits immediately reverted and their life’s work dismissed. It was Dr. Gary Nu

There’s a lot to unpack in a relatively short blog post, but my primary takeaways are as follows. First, this guy has a weirdly “romanticized” view of how things have been until now. I’m not sure if this can be chalked up to his particular

People already pay more than that to avoid ads on things like YouTube, Hulu, and other services. Given that people often spend quite a bit of time online, I wouldn’t be shocked if they’d be willing to not pay, but just “miss out” on a fract

Fuzzing the tank within certain parameters made for entertainment. It would drive & shoot randomly. That was great fun, until it shot my wife. Oops. Oh dear. From my experience in life, women and girls never find being shot with Nerf
