Also, you don't need a 'shower' to catch view of awesome meteors. Often enough, the best burners are unanticipated, random objects. After a few decades of nightly pondering as I gaze upward, I still sometimes anticipate a pla

I am quite surprised AFWall+ was only mentioned once in this thread. Have been a happy user since KitKat for same reasons... Peace of mind on my customized terms.

If it is still a manual process, wouldn't the PEBKAC be more likely to notice the extended upload time? The difference in size between a 2 min & a 90+ min file upload would be considerable.

What concerns me more than the high-profile ATT & Disney mergers is the ultra-quiet Monsanto-Bayer(0) & Dow-DuPont(1) unions. (0) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto (1) https://en.m.wikipedia.o

Quiet, perhaps, but visually egregious. Lime bikes are seen daily abandoned and often lying on sidewalks, on grass, in fields & even on street curbs.

And that is what Uni Health Care addresses, supposedly. The caveat is, while insurance providers must cover PECs, it says nothing about how much they will charge. The systemic problems with for-profit/quasi-social healthcare were not f

Prism has been common knowledge since the outing of closet 641 A, ~15 years ago. Even the MSM ran the stories... and most people still couldn't give a shit.

Welcome to Wall Street, USA. When it gets really bad, PERHAPS Glass-Steagal will be reimplimented. As bad as it is, apparently wage slave conditions must be worse before change is considered. Are 60 year mortgages a thing yet?
