Correct. I think it takes only 3-4 companies to collude to 'attack' the network. But that' d knee cap the value of the currency. Which in turn would nuke their profits and render their capital outlays useless.

Not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice. I'm fairly sure it's called a limited liability clause. They are literally everywhere. Ski resorts, adventure parks, paintball facilities, and even pools. There are many ways these ar

I'm with you on this. I'm currently travelling around Europe. I'd rather a one sim solution to keep my family and friends up to date rather than the three prepaids I have on me. That being said I'd like it if the website

Exactly this. I feel as thought op's definition of rape is slightly skewed or that all sex work is viewed as involuntary. Which is not the case. Some use it as a supplementary income, some as their primary job and others may use it to
