Of all post-nuclear-apocalypse stories I've seen or read, I think the movie Threads (1984) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgT4Y30DkaA ) does the best job hammering home just how miserable and hopeless life will be for

As far as I can tell, there are only three such reserved second-level domain names: example.com, example.net, and example.org. An example website is actually hosted on them by IANA too.

I wonder how they do the 350kg load test. I can't imagine the corners of the flat piece will support very much weight at all.

A more accurate claim would be "VPN that can't track your activity unless we cooperate with the third-party relay provider". I couldn't find any info on the page about who provides the relays, but that seems like the har

Most people in China (especially lower to middle class) do not have dishwashers. In fact a fair amount of younger people living in Shanghai don't even have a kitchen - they only eat delivery and never cook.
