[quote who="Daiwa" reply="23" id="3818505"] After some due diligence, I purchased NordVPN a couple of years ago. It has been a solid, reliable workhorse and dropped connections are exceedingly rare. Reasonably priced, well-reviewed and happy to recommend it. [/quote] I have been using NordVPN for about five years now and find it to be very effective with little to no drop-outs or issues. I had tried other VPNs but NordVPN is definitely the best I've used and I recommen

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="17" id="3817874"] For good measure, NordVPN on all my devices. [/quote] Same here... never open my browser without it being activated. However, there are some news sites and the like who do not like it, so I pause it when wanting to read the news. I'm still using Firefox as my main browser, though I have tried others and sort of don't mind them. I guess FF is what I'm accustomed to and comfortable with.

A woman informs her husband that she needs to go care for her mother for a couple of weeks while she recuperates from heart surgery and needs to rest. She tells him that she has pre-cooked him enough meals to last him while she is gone. However, the two weeks had passed and he was told she'd be away at least another week or so.

Banned for keeping an undead grandfather in a closet with a secret backdoor to go on the rampage and create new undead friends to keep him company on those lonely nights when he gets cold from the lack of viable blood... geez, that closet must be getting crowded by now... next he'll be asking for an extension to accommodate them all.

[quote who="JanOscar" reply="10" id="3816900"] 100% privacy does not exist. [/quote] You're right, 100% privacy went out the window when large internet companies began data mining to gain business advantages.... with Google being the worst offender of invading internet users personal information, whether or not they use Google services. I know that I'm being watched wherever I go on the WWW, and that's why I take precautions with ad blockers and anti-tracking add-ons

I don't use Chrome, never have and never will. I could never trust it due to Google's data mining and the collection of what ever information it can pry from users. And another thing about it I'm annoyed about is when Chrome is bundled with other software. All too often the opt out is obscure/hard to see and Chrome will get installed without specific consent. That to me is dishonest and deceitful. Sadly, it is nigh impossible to escape Googles 'all-seeing eye, wh

And another thing, now I think of it, Don, you were the main skinner who showed interest in my idea of combining Steampunk with dragons.
