They had to change to a decent advice column now that everyone is posting satire, and bad satire at that. Once Trump made every ridiculous headline they ever wrote seem reasonable, it was time to change direction.

Proton has opened sourced everything so far and I would expect them to do that here. They have whole pages written on why they open source everything and why that helps privacy.

Sure, push a known malware free vpn service while bashing a service that is very well known and respected.

The issue I have is the inflammation it causes in my damaged hips. Every time I have all that pea protein, I have a hard time existing the next day.

I’m sorry for being pendantic, but it’s Koch brothers. They really are the worst of the bunch; although, Elon be trying hard these days.

You forgot tires in that stopping equation. Do you live someplace with a lot of snow and ice? Get really good winter tires. Only get studded tires if your winters are constant snow and ice in the ground, and there are some very good studless winter tires: blizzak, X-ice, hakkapeliita etc. Good winter tires will decrease your stopping distance compared to all season.

All money Would be dispersed between several low fee brokerages where I would invest in a combination of treasury backed securities, short term CDs, total stock market ETFs, and cash would be dispersed between several high interest savings accounts. I would be unreachable for 6 months while News died down.

They know. This is why they are extending the number of months for paying off the car. 36 month car loan moved 60 month, then 72, 84, now 96 month car loan. We are not far from there being 10 year car loans.
