I don't trust any "secure" communications service that hasn't been subpoenaed and provided nothing in return. Having a national security letter canary doesn't hurt either.

Avast itself recently became malware and got its extensions pulled. Another reason for architectural security is that every third party program capable of updating itself has one unfixable vulnerability: the almighty dollar. A company gets bought out or an individual gets bribed and suddenly a stranger's in your house.

I don't understand how you'd even go about making a $300 pair of jeans. Are they a special material that's impervious to rain but breathes like cotton? Are they extra tough so you'll never wear holes in them? Some kind of fancy dye that never fades in the wash? Are you buying clothes from Sharper Image?

When there aren't far more productive ways to spend that time. For instance, teaching and reinforcing the wearing of seatbelts, talking to kids about domestic abuse, or even just child gun safety like not picking them up and playing with them.

I restricted my comparison to homicides only. They're basically statistically insignificant compared to the other much more common causes of child firearm death.

Yes they did. They are also a tiny drop in the bucket of child gun homicides, an even smaller drop for child gun deaths, and an incredibly small bump in child deaths overall.

Indeed. There is no better example of a failure to do basic math than running active shooter drills when 98% of child gun homicides happen outside of school hours.

I have to admit, even as an elder scrolls fan whose favorite game in the series is Oblivion, I've never much understood Skyblivion. There's very little you can't do to Oblivion with mods that you can do to Skyrim. Skywind has its own devs, but there are plenty of other games in the series which could use a rebuild, like Redguard or Daggerfall. Despite that, I do greatly look forward to the completion of this project.

I like to look on the bright side. We're doing less business with a country that has millions of Uighurs in concentration camps.
