Population: 556 These sort of villages probably have massive unemployment, huffing chemicals and alcoholism too... which leads to fights and DV. In Canada, they're almost always "dry" (banned alcohol) areas for these reasons,

Libraries, at least in the US, are mostly silence zones apart from information/checkout areas. There are still a few independent bookstores left, and those are good. College is still the preferred and most popular setting to meet a qua

The mind atrophies without enough actual social contact, and also a proven link to more stress and shorter lifespans.

For-profit clickbait items reinforce unhealthy and unrealistic digital hallucinations to stay in business, and celebrity developer bloggers do much the same in order to advance their careers. You don't know how they are to work-with or

Thinkpad X is too much like Apple: impractical, excessively over-designed Thinkpad T4X0 is the way to go for 13" (T440-T480; T490 is too Appleized also)

Thinkpad T440 - T480 T490 is no good: soldered-in things and no dual batteries.

Nope, not in Berkeley. Electricity: grid or self-renewables. Electrical heating is extremely efficient, but currently costs more than NG. Clearly, the move is away from FF because unsequestered carbon fuels/energy isn't good for
