For almost three decades authorities have been wondering how to put this 'free communications' genie back into the bottle without taking the GFW approach. It looks like this time they just might get it. If you really believe that

I would happily bet that you too have fallen for this at least once. Unless you cut AI out of your life completely and do not interact with others. AI output is like that COVID video of contamination, you almost can't avoid it unless y

I've become utterly addicted to my e-bike. You can have my car, but my e-bike stays.

Summer here is on Tuesday. The rest of the year it is rain, alternating with fog, snow & ice. Nah, jk, it's a beautiful day today and I'm thinking of going for a ride.

I've had people living in the East of Durgerdam explain to me that people from the West of Durgerdam were a bit weird. For context: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1026+CD+Durgerdam/@52.3790...
