That requires either both sides to be equal in power or both sides to be willing to stick to the process. From the blog the author believes neither is the case.

The Netherlands has a population density of 508/km2. Wyoming has one of 2/km2. Texas almost reaches 50/km2. That type of isolation is a fundamentally different way of living.

The video explains that it's designed for a very specific use case: quick access by the bed home defense when you have other people in the house you don't want using the gun (kids, etc.). The alternatives to this also have failure

They require you to add a salary/review every year to keep using the site but don't verify anything. So it's actually easier to put in some fake numbers than bother putting in real ones.

In my observation absolute statements about no layoffs are a strong indication of future layoffs in this economy. It's impossible to be certain in this economy so giving an absolute statement is basically a lie. Someone who is so braze

The cost for unlimited public transportation in NYC is $127/month (not counting the 50% discount if you're extra poor). I dare you to prove that owning a car (depreciation, interest, gas, insurance, registration, taxes, tolls, mai

Yes, that's what it means to not be on anyone's side, you take advantage of whomever is most desperate to make money from them (Russia right now). Then switch to doing the same from the other side if the tides change.
