Mozilla the organization are providing to me a piece of software (the browser), which after me downloading it, should have absolutely nothing to do with Mozilla, their services or servers. Unless, of course, I explicitly instruct the browse

What if my hobby was to juggle stinky shit? Should everyone around accept me, my dirty hands and my clothes stained and reeking of shit, if I decided to relax juggling shit during a work break? I view smokers in the same way. It's a sm

Yes, where the hybrid buses connect to the wires (usually at certain bus stops), the wires have sort of "tentacle catchers" on them, shaped as upside-down Vs. The driver just has to stop on the usual spot, press a button, and whil
