    This was the point I began my Google-exit. What I feel is more remarkable than how long ago this all began, is how stable the choices I moved to have been. Fastmail has been amazin…

    Then why does the West give him reason for "expansion" through aggressive expansion of NATO?

    I had a 2011 MacBook Air that I used as a casual "couch laptop" up until a month ago. I probably could have continued using it if it wasn't for both the battery and the power suppl…
