How does a theoretical case of not having insurance companies make a car non-driveable?

It was a very boring film. Well shot and great acting, but boring.

Just a feeling, but from anecdotal experience it seems like the initial release was very good and they quickly realized just how powerful of a tool it was for the average person and now they've dumbed it down in many ways on purpose.

I'm excited for the future of military robots dinosaurs

Tor isn't as decentralised as we thought?

Why is Firefox making these outbound connections?


I have all Firefox Data Collection and Use options disabled.
Anyone know what all of these services are doing? I assume they're for auto updates, account sync, and maybe pushing Pocket ads and/or sponsored pins?
