Well, that’s better than what I thought was the case, which was mandatory service instead of going to university.

I think you might be confusing likeable with attractive.

As others have said, some women (and men) find guys like that attractive because they’re a challenge to conquer or are more exciting than someone more predictable and safe.

But they generally aren’t likeable. Women who are attracted to them don’t like them; they like the sense of inherited power.

The provenance and concept look fine; the claim to be the first decentralized VPN rings a bit hollow when TOR predates it by decades. That in itself makes me question the other claims more than I would if they just stuck to “properly decentralized” or similar. Celebrity sponsorship also rings warning bells for me.

But then, using a VPN for privacy purposes seems odd to me too — unless you own both ends of the tunnel.

I expect to see this in Tour de France cyclists any day now.

Is breadth of learning always the goal though? Sounds like students are learning to work smarter, not harder.

Now, if they aren’t learning the core competencies in their field of study, that’s a problem. If they just aren’t learning how to write an essay or remember some shortcuts they’ll never need once they graduate, I fail to see a problem.

Format support is available in all the software for which it is the native format. And the people who use those documents have that software, so support elsewhere doesn’t matter that much.

Xi’s notebook would be in Chinese. Except for the bits he wanted Donald to read.

That’s what people said before the last pipeline was built through BC. The federal government bailed it out and it got built anyway.

This method wouldn’t combat device fingerprinting, so it would be trivial for everyone but the aggregate data brokers to filter out as noise.

For a strategy like this to work, your legitimate traffic needs to be indistinguishable from the random traffic.

He’s going nowhere near a women’s shelter without a cr check.
