I think you made a good choice in picking renter's as your first policy offering. It's not complex, many people are required to have it (as a landlord, I certainly require it of my tenants), and you won't have a tough time ge

We're talking about space missions that cost a fraction of a billion dollars at the low end, and people have invested decades into just getting approvals and funding. And then perhaps another ten years just to get the spacecraft where

Prime delivery is nice, but I need to buy a replacement hard drive and they won't deliver it to my nearby Amazon locker for some reason. I don't want it sitting on my porch all day (pirates), but they won't let me schedule a

The Trapper Keeper came out after I graduated high school. But we had 3-ring binders before that - they were fabric covered (like a cheap denim) and had metal rings which made a loud snap when you closed them. They had good & bad aspec

The Zigbee protocol the devices use is a standard, but from what I picked up from between the lines of the article is that the firm locked the devices because of liability fears. If someone DIY's their alarm system and then it fails t
