I'd encourage you to be transparent with your wife. Tell her your situation. Ask what she thinks. Discuss options. Execute upon your mutual decision. Do it when you two have time to dig into the details. Don't rush it but if you&#

There's already a lot of suggestion that Adir (the Israeli F-35) has seen combat over Syria in January. At a minimum French intelligence [1] and Israeli media [2] claim the attack was carried out using F-35s. They reportedly went on to

I'm very interested in the values assigned to pieces. Does anyone know the source or reasoning behind the table in step 2? How are pieces relative values calculated? What's to say a pawn is 1/3 of a rook or a knight? And why

I truly think these things are overblown. This article references "sync" providers, but having sync disabled I've never seen the ads they show. I also disabled Cortana and most of the new W10 stuff but never looked back after
