I have AT&T Gigabit fiber and am able to access 1.1.1.1, but perhaps I just don't have the router update yet? I'm also not using the AT&T router's wifi, but a separate router behind it.

Does this just apply to setting the default DNS on the router, or are the blocking traffic to 1.1.1.1 from any device connected to it?

>Schools can purchase iPad starting at $299 (US) and Apple Pencil for $89 (US). I'm imagining how easy it is to lose a 'pencil' in a school - at $89 each!

To be fair - the S Class is a relatively low volume car. I don't have exact figures, but I'd expect it to be in the range of 2-3% of the cars Mercedes manufactures. BMW made nearly 2,000,000 cars in 2015[1], and this year, best ca

I didn't claim it prevents odor. Which deodorant doesn't do either - you're either masking it with other scents or using an antiperspirant to reduce sweating. It removes odor that soap alone doesn't, which means you don&

Luck is hard to measure, smells aren't. I don't understand why you're so hostile to the possibility that stainless steel can remove odors that soap doesn't? This is easy to test. I've tested it.

Maybe nobody has spent money to do a study, but it does seem to work. I was skeptical when a friend suggested it, but I'll be darned if it doesn't work.

Wife would say so - and I can smell myself. I think the trick is you need to rub it for about 30 seconds - longer than people are probably willing to do it. But there's noticeable before and after results if you do that. Here's an

I've been using a stainless steel "deoderant stick" [1] (it's just metal, no chemicals) for several years in the shower and its greatly reduced the amount of normal deodorant I use. The steel does a good job of eliminati

Not to judge how people spend their money, but surprising how many people are buying crypto while they only seem to have a few hundred dollars in their bank account. Very risky putting in money it sounds like they can't afford to lose.

Though I would argue with some of the author's assumptions about carbon footprints and power grid challenges, he's right that fewer cars ultimately means a better environment and less carbon. No argument with that. However... As m

The burger at a nice restaurant is usually the token 'affordable' item. That said, I'm a big fan of burgers and order them often. Screw what other people think.

Wouldn't be an article about Bitcoins without "bubble" and "tulip." It's really getting old - you'd think 7 years in there'd be something new to write about.

This also assumes a consistent natural gas market over the next 30 years, which is far from certain. Gas prices can fluctuate greatly, and the global political climate is increasingly hostile to fossil fuel sources. The theoretical solar pl
