“Any comparison of the Soviet and U.S. Navy must be viewed from the context that we are a maritime power dependent upon being able to maintain sea lanes of communication necessary to conduct military operations overseas and to support our allies. The mission of our navy is a far more difficult one than that of the Soviets of denying us free use of the seas. We have given up any chance of matching the Soviet Navy in number of ships. Therefore the quality of our ships must be superior. It is axiom

If all you’re using to protect your digital privacy and security is a VPN and your own vigilance, you’re still leaving yourself vulnerable to various online threats like phishing, malware, identity theft and ransomware. To fully protect yourself, you need to start putting together an arsenal of privacy and security tools.

When Tesla first unveiled the stainless steel Cybertruck, it was pitched as an indestructible futurist icon. Only a few short years later, many proud Cybertruck owners have discovered that their ultra-expensive rolling tanks are aging like room-temperature milk. One of the most consistent complaints involves seat wrinkles and indentations. On the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, a relatively new driver lamented that "my driver seats are wrinkled after 3,300 miles. I’m not a fat person. Weigh 173 l

“Won’t someone think of the poor children?” they say, clutching their pearls as they enact another stupid law that will harm the privacy of every adult on Earth and create Prior Restraint that inhibits the freedom of speech in liberal democracies. If you’re totally ignorant of how things work, the proposal of “verifying you’re an adult” before you access adult content sounds, superficially, like a reasonable thing to do.
