On a philosophical tangent, if you BNDP (buy now, don't pay), did you actually buy it? If you did indeed buy it, who did you buy it from - the original vendor or the party you didn't pay? We may need new language for the times we

I am sure this were joint Air Force and FBI raids, but the optics of the phrase "U.S. Air Force and FBI recently raided homes ..." is really not that great. Maybe just me, but few want to hear of the Air Force raiding homes in Ame

Intentionally or unintentionally the waters have been effectively muddied and few people can come to any sensible conclusion on this issue. The general public will walk away with the simple message that AirTags are a safety risk and thus ar

My rule is pretty basic: I don't keep more books than I can carry in a backpack. In practice this translates to just a few cherished books. Everything else I borrow read and return, or buy read then pass it on.

Maybe I am misunderstanding this comment, but is it a common occurrence for realtors to sell properties they don’t own?

As soon as Brave has more than a handful of users, they will quickly metamorphize into their Do Evil phase. We are currently watching that transformation at DDG. The point is that there is no place left to turn to.
