secret society with a list of names on wikipedia? Just some way for a less successful group to associate themselves with the rockstars. What do billionaires need to be in club for really? Such nonsense

Getting more sleep advice is good. Multitasking and monotonous activities break the mind? You used it too much? Like loud music deafens and looking at the sun blinds. I don't think so. It's aging and willpower and behavioral chang

I agree the SUA1500 is probably the best UPS APC made certainly my favorite but this happened. Surprised at all the doubt. I know because I smelled this liquid, it was odorless and about 5 minutes later I was pretty violently ill. Could it

A UPS is really just a car battery and a voltage regulator. Actually the cheaper APC models have no voltage regulator which is why you should avoid them. It's obsolete technology. Modern regulated power adapters are enough just use a s

It came from a leak in the battery during charging. Exactly what the gas was is still unknown but it knocked me for six a couple of days after I received the unit. I thought about getting it tested and even suing but it took out my whole ap

So far I haven't there really isn't much here, the town center is maybe 6x6 blocks. There's a library, a tavern, a handful of drive through fast food restaurants and a few large costco like grocery stores. It's not a hig

Yes I've done this 3 times in the last 20 years. That is, thrown away all but a small bag of possessions and a bag of clothes and resettle in a remote location cutting off contact with all but a couple of people, and with only a few hu
