I agree that it’s a service va a tool thing. The google maps web page is checking which browser you are using. The ms edge browser is watching what you are doing when you are using the web. Someone had to add code that said “if trying to d

I Hope it turns out well. Generally I think Amazon does a good job with the prime original series. I liked the Expanse. The peripheral was interesting. Even the LotR “rings of power” I found enjoyable, and maybe better than expected after

Sending certified would require the sender to be Ided and not be anonymous. It would also probably be mail fraud to submit a bogus claim. Though there is a balance here that needs to be found. I still find it a little wierd that those taked

I think this doesn't change the equation for hobbyist/ game developers. Unreal is starting to get traction as a 3d model tool (free unlike the pricey: Cinema4d or Maya). It was used on set for "virutual rooms" used in p
