Good to hear :). I think in the US some places must be much worse than others. Here in Portland, Oregon, on a 7 mile round trip (without much overlap) through the urban core that I make regularly by bike I only see maybe four billboards,

Do you want the most HTTPS connections you can get with almost no chance of inconvenience? Then use HTTPS Everywhere in the default mode. If you don't mind seeing that you are about to connect to a HTTP site and click ok if you want

It is optional for now, but as they say at the end the intent is to eventually always require HTTPS.

They can't make it the default yet without breaking a lot of things since a bunch of marketing people decided to break the security properties of TLS by using HTTP only vanity redirect domains. While I've found HTTP-only to be mo

Bandcamp makes much more sense to me. Listen to music online as often as you want for free (without easy custom playlists that I know of, although they make some playlists and it is easy to play a bunch of music from particular publishers)

How do you expect it to have an impact on those things? It will be an improvement for drug users in the US, but I doubt much will change for the cartels. To really have an impact the drugs need to be produced and distributed legally.

Another common way to die is to take heroin and benzos at the same time (both are respiratory depressants). This happens with the similar prescription painkillers as well. There are some other combinations that can cause similar trouble to

I wouldn't assume that the reason resistance doesn't last in some case is just due to suboptimal triggering, although as I said I don't know much of anything about vaccine development. I do often encounter people with inflat

Hmm... 70% agreement in an unpublished study funded by the company vs a device that is itself maybe 90% agreement with lab PSG. Better than I expected, but I wonder if it is just due to many sleepers having quite predictable stages. "

What you say about the intervals makes sense to me, and related to rajlego's comment as well it seems like major changes in activity level or timing take some adjustment. I know what you mean about "different types of tired".
