Would we live longer if gravity was higher than 9.81 m/s2? I think it might be difficult to actually test this, but it is a fun question.

I would assume that registration would be free, but now that I think about it I wonder if it will be that way (or stay that way). It seems like this may be less about the "protecti…

I got hit by two of these (1/27 to Feb 4th and 6/4 to 6/22), and they were relentless. It was difficult to know where the attack originated because many proxies were involved - mos…
