Web clipper works great on a desktop web browser and saves content, but this uses a browser plug-in and I can’t think of a practical way to save an article on a mobile device (phone or ipad). Also, pages are converted to Markdown, which is

One day, the infrastructure will arrive, and I think gov’ts should worry 80% about infrastructure, and 20% EV incentives. Until then, PHEVs are often a great choice in the current (pun unintentional) situation. Also, I wish all level 2 cha

Mushrooms could be a great source of Vitamin D, but they need to be exposed to UV light and are usually grown in the dark. This has been known for years, but no one seems to be acting on it. Studies such as this one should create urgency

Our director of cybersecurity did something similar. I asked my manager, what’s going on, he had no idea. Completely unintentional, she wanted to speak about a RFP response, but it was completely out of context and I didn’t know she was r

If you travel internationally or do any business, have a local bank and a proper international one. A local banks follow local country laws, so in Canada, bank cards work in Cuba. However, employees are painfully useless about anything out

Yes, this is exactly what I am getting at. The cell phone number is the user identity, and this is flawed thinking. Some people have more than one phone number, and some people use more than 1 PC. Signal fails miserably here, and so I th

Should we manage to annihilator ourselves with nuclear weapons, it will be proof that we didn’t expend all our resources on killing each other. Over 13,000 nuclear warheads exist today and nothing is more crazy than that.
