What are /r/coolguides' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Btw this isn't a "guide". These are all taken from the book Bad Hair by James Innes-Smith which compiled the weirdest of hair cuts from English salon magazines. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1582343292/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_koyhBbHR8KSRH

One that I don't see on here that I literally use every damn day: Ditto

It's a clipboard manager. Copy and paste still work the same, but you can now Ctrl + ` (it's the same key as ~ or "tilde", next to the 1 key) and it brings up a little list of all the things you've copied... ever. It saves through computer restarts and is text searchable. It also allows you to hotkey the most recent 10 items by pressing Ctrl + (number 1-0) after Ctrl + `.

I'm a software dev, I use this all the time, and every time I've ever used it during a screen share the people watching have asked me "what the hell was that? it looks so useful".

A while ago someone suggested the app Pixels (iOS, Android) on Reddit. It's pretty much the same principle, but it keeps you a log of your mood through the year.

I started to use it this year, and it's great to have a general overview of how you feel through the year.

Alternativeto.net is such a useful website. I find it useful if I'm moving between operating systems for example. And I need to find a Mac OS version of a Windows application, or an Android version of an iOS application.

There a job called Ravenmaster, and there's only one position.

He's the head Warden whip oversees the Ravens at the Tower of London.

If you want a really funny read, that's also a great reverent take about the Ravens at the Tower of London I highly recommend:

The Ravenmaster: My Life with the Ravens at the Tower of London

It's an easy read, and really fascinating. It'll blow your mind how much personality they have and how individual and smart each one can be.

Also, having stood next to one of the Towers ravens....... They're HUGE! So SO much bigger then you think.

As an ease of use thing, Linux is way more widely supported than BSD, and because Linux can be catered and built to your needs, its just a weird pick. NordVPN was breached in 2019, not to comment on its privacy abilities. I don't know their quality, but I do personally use it and would switch. Brave is built on Chromium, so it has telemetry built in it. Firefox has alternatives that do not. And Tor is just slow to use.

The only things on this list you should realistically use are DDG and Signal, this is a terrible terrible guide. TOR is not practical for every day use at all, FreeBSD only has safety through obscurity and Brave, NordVPN and ExpressVPN are actively malicious

Edit: If you actually care about privacy, begin by reading The Hitchhiker's guide to Online Anonymity at

I feel like anyone getting into animation would do well to intimately study comics.

At its heart, comics are about deciding which actions in the scene are most salient for the moment in time that a panel represents. This is very similar to plotting out keyframes. Animation is essentially just comics with like 10 billion more panels to fill in the rest of the movement.

Edit to add: Another fantastic book that kind of spans both realms is the book Framed Ink by artist Marcos Mateu-Mestre. Highly recommended!

Sort of irrelevant, but this isn't how an optimal 4-way venn diagram looks like. In this format, you don't see overlaps of the two corners (Stoners + Movie Directors, Bank Robbers + D&D Players), they only overlap when at least one other element is present. In a 4-way venn diagram, the elements are elliptical and not circular. Like this!

Hot damn, it works!!

Something like in the link below (a blank rearview hang tag) is the best thing you can do if you have a parking permit you have to display

https://www.amazon.com/Parking-Completely-Customizable-Vehicles-MESS/dp/B078XH2XJ2/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=rear+view+mirror+hang+tags&qid=1597354211&sr=8-4

It is a way to easily display your parking pass but remove it when you leave said parking lot. Very rarely are they enforced 100% that they have to be in a certain location and worst case if it is supposed to be on your back window or bumper you can back your car in to display it out or simply put a suction cup hook on the back window and hang the tag when needed.

I have always used these when I was required to have a parking permit. (I am referring to when I was given a sticker to use and I would attach said sticker to these blank hang tags)

How to make a good logo:

• Make it good.
  

Also didn't JCPenney drop that logo because it was terrible? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/10/jcpenney-reverts-back_n_4078134.html

I use Private Internet Access on all my devices (an iPad, iPhone, and two MacBook Pros) and it works really well. Sometimes it cuts out, but it's super rare. Doesn't slow down my connection at all. The first VPN I've used and I'm liking it so far!

It’s a cool guide, but it’s a little outdated and there are some missing operators.

For a couple of years now, the tilde has been deprecated (by Google at least), and related sorta works on larger sites, but it’s a crapshoot on what’s returned.

I’m personally a fan of site: to search a specific site. And using “OR “ AND “inurl” to find multiple results within a site.

You can also use multiple in a query. For example,

Site:reddit.com inurl:news “robinhood” OR “Robin hood” OR “stocks” to find Reddit urls with news about robinhood or the stock market.

Here’s a list of search operators:

There's a graph by economic historian Carlos M. Cippola that speaks to what you're saying. What commenter calls doormat, Cippola classifies as Helpless.

This synopsis of his essay The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity is a good read.

The simple answer is that you get used to it.

I always thought that I can enjoy however spicy sauces. Perhaps because my father used to cook spicy chillies since I was child.

The first real kick I experienced was after trying https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blairs-Ultra-Death-Sauce-Coffin/dp/B000VZSRWM/.

At first, just attempting to smell the sauce gave me goosebumps. I ruined a dinner for myself and others by putting a dab of it into chilly... However, eventually I would more or less cover a chicken wing with the sauce and utterly enjoy it.

Problem with the hot sauces is that while you do get used to the sensation (I would go as far as to say that it is addictive), what you don't get used to is the next after. Pretty much the only reason I don't use Blairs sauce anymore.

Short version:
You need one of these adapters. They switch the mic and ground contacts, so they convert between the two standards.

Long version:
The reason it doesn't work at first is because it tries to detect if you have a mic by trying to measure the resistance/continuity between the mic and ground, which if you were using a non-mic audio male plug, would both be shorted to ground. But because it is a TRRS plug not a TRS plug, it decides that you do have a mic and sets itself in TRRS mode but with the wrong ground, thus not working. If you fuck around half plugging it in, you short the mic and ground connectors in the female side of the plug, and convince it that you are using TRS, which makes it kind of work when you fully plug it in, but then you don't get a mic (and get a potentially shitty situation)

Get the connector adapters I linked and thank me later. They're useful for plugging your Apple headphones into devices that expect the other standard (and for connecting your non-Apple headphones into Apple devices for that matter, since they just flip the 2 conductors)

If you're on Android switch to Youtube Vanced, it's a custom version of youtube with a lot of toggles for reversing stupid changes that youtube made. Also has ad-blocking, in-video sponsor blocking and lets you watch videos in the background, etc

This is covered in extensive detail by Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. He goes over all of the features that made Eurasia the place for civilization growth and not Africa/Americas.

And it's all largely BS, full of effects looking for a cause. More details here.

In short, none of this is even close to as straightforward as anyone ever thinks it is, and random chance and/or clever individuals throw massive variables into every "conclusion" that simplistic history analysis like this offers.

So I’m waiting for this new Apple guys. I heard a radio story on these Washington state apple growers who have been working on a new apple for the last 10 years. They finished and it’s called Cosmic Crisp. They said it might be another year before we see it in stores though.

I’m pretty sure this is how we got honey crisp so I’m excited to say the least.

Let me see if I can find a source. Here’s something:

I use Private Internet Access (PIA). They have servers to connect to that are distributed all throughout the world. I happen to have one I connect to that is within 5 hours of my home location. There is an imperceptible slow down on my connection. Ping remains excellent in games and downloads still max out to what my ISP advertises. YMMV if you don't have a server close to your location.

For example, I might have a ping of 22 ms when playing Rocket League, connected to my local server. If I connect to the other side of the country, basically the East Coast for me, my ping can jump to 200+.

According to the source they cite, it's because

>"the law around them is complicated. [...] currently police can compel you to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone"

Meh ...

LMAO. I am using ExpressVPN and it doesn't work for Netflix. Netflix easily detects the VPN and has the region-locked content determined by the payment method. For example, if you pay with credit card from Germany you will see only available content for Germany.

Most of these "art of manliness" things are just rip offs of this old book.

Hijacking top comment sorry.

VPN companies do what you could call a "test"-advertisement.

Basically they reach out to YouTubers, people who blog etc pp. and tell them that they should test and review the VPN services. These people get a code, for example "VPN-blog3".

On -blog3.notadomain you then read a "test" that NordVPN is super good etc and you even get a buttload of discount if you use the code "VPN-blog3".

Now NordVPN knows where you're coming from. And the dude from VPN-blog3 now recievers a share of what you bought, because he basically referred you to NordVPN.

As far as I'm aware mullvad is the only VPN service who do not do that. You don't even need a damn mail address. You can pay via bitcoin, check and other fairly private options. No logs, nothing. 5 bucks flat per month.

Also:

Good advice, some additions.

• Revving the motor (to 2000) is to ensure the alternator is generating sufficient voltage. Rarely (never in my experience) an issue with modern cars was an issue for some 60/70's era cars and a real issue earlier.

• I keep a voltmeter in the car, you can get them off Amazon for a couple of quid - stick in cigarette lighter socket and display shows the voltage, it'll tell you whether your alternator (or theirs) is generating sufficient charge so you do/don't need to rev.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vehicle-Battery-Voltage-Monitor-Checker/dp/B007FW9HFK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1489831335&sr=8-3&keywords=car+voltmeter

£1.50 is less than $2 in seppo bucks

• There's no real need to wait a couple of minutes, the rate at which your battery is going to charge theirs is very slow and not worth waiting for, just hook it up and ensure your car is running before you hit their starter. Once they're running their alternator should generate enough power to both run their car and chargetheir battery (which will usually take at least a half hour of driving to top up enough to recharge)

• TELL them to drive it for at least half an hour before shutting down unless they're just going straight to somwhere to replace the battery

Pretty good, except for some subjective biases (e.g. against C++, pro Python). And some mixed analogies (hobbits being both programming beginners and JavaScript). Also, not totally accurate on C#, as the newest version of it and the .NET Framework is being open sourced by Microsoft.

Color Wheel

This guide is crap. There is no guide or legend to indicate what each color means. Red and Blue are listed as the extremes, but then you have violet in between them?

soap isn't strictly bad when done properly.

for seasoning, i prefer crisco.

also, invest in a stainless chain mail scrubber like this.

Thats not true.

I used expressVPN for most of 2019 and a large part of that was for netflix.

Now I use NORDVPN and same thing, I have had zero issues using this VPN.

That being said, I do know that any free VPN I've ever used gets caught by netflix, and blizzard also assumes you are cheating with many of them activated.

Edit: Since this seems to have gotten downvoted I can only assume its because I'm thought to be a liar or something? So here is me using NordVPN to access Netflix from multiple countries, including my own in Canada. Yes the videos also played when I selected them.

Also they don't care about what region your payments are coming from, I have let my american friends use my netflix in the past without any issue despite me being Canadian and paying from Canada.

Here’s the article the author keeps referring to

and here’s the book the article is about

This is well made and I guess its good to get the information out there, but the creator made some really questionable choices with the premade list of VPNs to pick from (HideMyAss, seriously?). The guide would be better if it gave resources to help you choose a VPN service for yourself instead of the list it is now.

In his book On Writing, in which he describes his process,he states that he'll start with an interesting person/situation/thing and then will see where the story goes. So, yeah. No ending in sight for him when he breaks out the typewriter.

And here is the game for android and apple

Or you could use a site like Temp Mail and use a throwaway email just to register. Use that all the time when I need to create an account for anything that'll probably send me a bunch of spam or don't want associated with one of my main email addresses.

This book changed my life. A great guide for people who struggle with pleasing others, especially men. In my late twenties I woke up one day realizing I hated my life, and that I was because I would give up what I wanted to make other people happy.

Long story short I learned:

• I have needs, only I know what they are, only I can fulfill them
• I have to do what is in my best interest regardless of how other people react
• There’s nothing wrong or selfish about taking care of your needs or making them a priority
• There’s nothing wrong with saying no - and 90%+ of the time most people don’t care/it’s not that big of a deal to them if I say no.

Absolutely life changing.

> Many people (me included) say that NP++ is better than VS Code, sublime and the likes.

Different tasks for me.

N++ is my daily text editor for basically everything. I'll keep notes, draft emails, draft short scripts (couple dozen lines top), review or make quick edits to JSON/XML/CSV files, etc. Given how light it is I will juggle a ton of tabs without thinking twice.

If I'm working on a larger program I'll go to VSCode for the better debugging, autocomplete and linting integrations.

If I'm working on a full scale project then I'll go to Visual Studio or Pycharm. Pycharm I might fully replace with VSCode for my next Python project, but last time I had a go it still had the edge, especially on linting for larger programs and venv integration.

I also tend to use repl.it a lot at the moment.

I see this as a guide since it details the steps you can take. Taken from an Employee Surveillance Report - pardon the long image, it’s better seen on the article, or you can zoom in

The only way was up? No matter what changes they made, they'd improve?

Try medicated wipes. I use these.

They have quite a bit of liquid in them. Use gloves and get in there. Typically if I use them 3 days in a row when something starts it clears up by day 4.

I try to just do it 1x per month for maintence too. Seems to help. I also use these on my dogs paws (between toes and in the middle of pads) to clear up and type of yeast/rash infection.

I think it might look for synonyms by default? Something I searched the other day was looking for synonyms too (I could tell from the results), I think it was Google but I’m not 100% sure...

This guide is out of date and as such is incorrect and misleading; Tor's packages have changed. The "Tor Browser Bundle" DOES NOT anonymise ANY of your internet connection OUTSIDE OF THE Tor Browser window. So all the stuff about configuring firefox, flash etc does not apply to the Browser bundle and is irrelevant and misleading - ONLY the connection WITHIN the Tor Browser window is anonymised or enables you to avoid censorship/content blocks via Tor's network. But it's now also much easier to use: just download the Tor Browser package, unzip it and run it - you do not usually need to do any further configuration to the Tor Browser itself to browse safely, just use the Tor Browser window.

If you want ALL of your internet traffic to be routed through Tor (to then use your other browsers such as Firefox or Chrome, or other software) then you need to install the FULL Tor Expert Bundle (link here; it's listed just below the Tor Browser for Windows or available separately via Repos on Linux) but for most people that's excessive. That does use Vidalia amongst other tools, and it does anonymise your whole connection but in that case you really do need to disable or configure a lot of other things (as listed in the guide, but including lots of plugins such as flash) to maintain an anonymous connection - it's excessive for most users.

If that's a family size bag, it's about 270g of chips. Lay's Wavy Originals have 160 kcal per 28g serving, so a 270g bag is 1542 kcal. Average daily calorie intake for an adult is about 2000 kcal, so you'd be getting more than 3/4 of your calories from chips if you eat a whole bag.

Or use youtube-dl. You can take down a site that isn't a site to begin with. It's been around for years, and I've never had it not work, as long as I'm using the latest version available.

For me, it's at least enough to stop Comcast from sending me nasty emails about piracy.

I wouldn't depend on Nord to keep me private from the FBI, but it's enough to keep Comcast off my back.

My only major complaint is that if I connect to NordVPN and then my internet connection goes down, my computer will be absolutely unable to connect to the internet at all until I completely restart it. Nothing else I've tried has worked.

Free Code Camp is widely considered one of the best free resources for learning web development (and general programming). It's not the only resource you should be using, but it's a good starting place if you're itching to dig in.

Code Acadamy is an excellent website for learning the basics of some of these programming languages. I strongly recommend against studying C++ or PHP unless you have a specific reason to do so (for a job or class) because they are highly idiosyncratic and tend to promote bad programming practices, so you're more likely to pick up bad habits.

Mullvad VPN is (iirc) the only VPN that doesn't require any email address to sign up, nor does it require any personal information info to sogn up (except for payment, but you can use BTC for that). When you pay for the service, you recieve an account number. That's it. From there, you can download the vpn, use the account number, and then you can just use the service, no need to create an account. From what I can tell it uses the least amount of personal revealing info of any vpn.

With that being said, VPNs for privacy are usually not a great idea. Sure, they'll protect you from public wifi, and they'll stop your ISP from monitoring you, but ultimately, you simply shift the burden of trust from your ISP to your VPN. The vpn service provider can swear up and down that they don't keep logs on their users, but ultimately that claim is impossible to prove and therefore meaningless. I guess if you want you can use Mullvad+Tor for extra privacy when browsing, but have fun with the shit-tier internet speeds that brings.

Corrections needed for this post

For Browsers

1. Firefox

Recommended addon for the browsers are

1. Ublock Origin
2. HTTPS Everywhere
3. Privacy Badger

For VPNs

1. Proton VPN ( Free and paid ) Cheapest plan starts from $5/mo without any offer/savings. $3.29/mo for 2-yr plan which gives 33% off ( approx.)
2. IVPN ( Paid ) Cheapest plan starts from $2/week
3. Mullvad VPN ( Paid ) One pricing plan. 5 Euros/month.

The so-called VPNs such as nord or expressvpn are fearmongering users to go for their vpns. Using a VPN provider will not make you anonymous, but it will give you better privacy in certain situations. Making guarantees of protecting anonymity 100%. When someone makes a claim that something is 100% it means there is no certainty for failure. And the users can easily deanonymize by various ways.

For Messaging

1. Signal
2. Telegram
3. Session

I'm not proficient in OS. In terms of Search Engine, I trust only DDG. Others I haven't heard so can't comment on them. In Apps, Bitwarden is good but the other two I haven't heard so I'm not sure of them. In Email, ProtonMail is the go-to mail service that I can recommend.

_internet_access_has_come_to_its_end/ I dont dislike PIA but I still think Mullvad is the best VPN.

As you can see in the picture there hasn't been a month without any data breaches in 2019. During only 7 months, there's already been more than 50 different data leaks with at least 4 billion records. Recent study claims that there's a new victim of identity theft every 2 seconds.

This is some beautiful although shocking data and it's the reality we're living in. I really doubt it ever gonna get better, until we'll start doing something for our protection online.

There are some ways how you could protect yourself from your personal data leaks or even our protection online.

There are some ways how you could protect yourself from your personal data leaks or even identity thefts:

• Get AdBlocker (uBlock Origin, Chrome/Safari/Firefox extensions)
• Create strong passwords and use different ones for different accounts
• Get a trustable VPN (NordVPN, Perfect Privacy, ExpressVPN)
• Get a password manager if you're not an macOs/iOS user (LastPass, Bitwarden)

This was posted a few months ago in a Data Visualization Thread and it blew my mind.

The book : People’s history of the Vietnam war link has interesting anecdotes & interviews on this topic: I remember it going into detail on fragging: If a CO was endangering the squad by (say) going on patrol the Conscripts would leave a dud grenade in the CO’s bed. This might escalate: Chuck in a live one - with the pin in. Eventually detonate one. If the hints aren’t getting through.

I can empathise: If you were conscripted & some officer was going about trying to get you killed you might want to persuade them a bit energetically.

It sounded like there was in some places a general understanding: patrols barely leave camp, officers barely retain control.

>Simony (pron. [ˈsaɪ.mə.ni] or [ˈsɪ.mə.ni]) is the act of selling church offices and roles. The practice is named after Simon Magus,[1] who is described in the Acts of the Apostles 8:9–24 as having offered two disciples of Jesus, Peter and John, payment in exchange for their empowering him to impart the power of the Holy Spirit to anyone on whom he would place his hands. The term also extends to other forms of trafficking for money in "spiritual things".[2][3] Simony was also one of the important issues during the Investiture Controversy.

>“The server itself did not contain any user activity logs; none of our applications send user-created credentials for authentication, so usernames and passwords couldn’t have been intercepted either. On the same note, the only possible way to abuse the website traffic was by performing a personalized and complicated man-in-the-middle attack to intercept a single connection that tried to access NordVPN.”

So, no.

In America, a product called TriCalm works very well. Apply it to every spot as often as you need to, and at the slightest sign that the itching is returning. It’s the aluminum acetate in it that works.

A.D.D. and ADHD are often concurrent with another cognitive / learning disability.

The classic tome on this subject is a book called Driven To Distraction by Dr. Edward Hallowell (M.D.) - This may be a good starting place. Finding a good specialist is of course indispensable.

They were hacked and didn't disclose it for months, and basically allowed a third party to access all data going into and out of NordVPN .

Doesn't mention TunnelBear which is a free VPN service (with a 1gb limit per month, or 2gb if you tweet at them) and you can pick the country. The best one imo, and the premium service doesn't cost much.

>Why?

No one provides a service for free without it being monetized at some point. The only real way to monetize a free VPN is to sell the data, which is exactly what you're trying to avoid with a VPN.

I use Private Internet Access, and have no complaints. $40 a year, works all the time, no noticeable slowness or anything.

You fucking troglodyte. This list is sepia tone because it relates to probably 200 years ago. The list of species we have ended is in the thousands. Here's a list of the ones that disappeared just last year.

With no due respect, go fucking kill yourself.

Kids literally get suspended for finger guns in school.

Where did you find that info? When I look up its origins, I find "Portuguese and Galician: from dos Santos, literally ‘of the saints’, a common element of personal names, originally denoting a child born or baptized on All Saints’ Day." Source

log (a) x is wrong (dunno how to do subscript on Reddit, imagine that a is really small and offset below the line)

What's shown is NEGATIVE log x. at x=0, NEGATIVE log x starts at infinity and decreases at a slower and slower rate the further you move to the right.

Here is a photopea file you would like to change the background. Simply click file> open & place... and select your favorite background of the same dimension (2560x1440). You might need to change the text color (or size if you want), that would be in the "Text" folder. Unfortunately, it's a mess since I didn't think anyone would use it. To save the folder : file > export as.. > JPEG then select max settings. If you need help with something let me know.

Atom > Sublime imo.

Has Github integration (literally made by them), and getting into the practice of committing early will help most students in the future. Will also help them build a portfolio of their work over time.

FWIW, I use Adobe CC professionally, primarily InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat.

Personally, I wasn't going to pay Adobe a dime, so I invested in the Affinity suite (Photo, Designer, Publisher) from Serif. No, the apps are not quite as polished as Adobe, but they don't have decades under their belt either. For the asking price and what you get out of them, I consider them well worth the investment.

I primarily use page layout programs, with InDesign being the flagship. I've used them all. Scribus works...but it's got a steep learning curve. Free is free though. If you're not making multi-page books, magazines, and catalogs constantly - Affinity Publisher and Quark will work just fine. I still think InDesign is the best page layout app on the market, but I don't need all the advanced features for what I do at home.

Affinity Photo is great, but it's not the best RAW editor. If you're looking to develop RAW camera files, check our DarkTable (and the crew over at r/darktable) or RAWTherapee. They're both extremely capable apps.

Cakewalk is now free. You can get it from: https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk

It's the top version of sonar too. Works pretty well, using it now as my main Daw

Sounds can have two meanings, similar to a bay or a strait.

>Definition In geography, a sound is a large sea or ocean inlet, deeper than a bight and wider than a fjord; or a narrow sea or ocean channel between two bodies of land (see also strait). There is little consistency in the use of "sound" in English-language place names.

Once I learned about the circle spot mirrors I've never looked back. Completely eliminates blind spots. Highly recommend! spot mirrors

This is reminiscent of the Pantone Colors children's book. Each page is dedicated to a different color with 30ish different shades, and then an animal or toy illustration using some of them. It's a very colorful book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1419701800/

Fuck Nord VPN, which still knows entirely too much about you, which advertises everywhere, which is sketchy, and which has already been breached once and leaked data.

Mullvad uses WireGuard protocols, which are more modern than the garbage commodity VPNs like Nord use, and it literally knows fuck all about you on purpose. If it has no identifying data about you, it can’t leak data about you.

I mean, I feel that if you actually want your data to be private, you should not be using a VPN for privacy, because that's not what a VPN does.

As for NordVPN, they claim to not keep logs. They conducted an independent audit to verify it. I generally find that credible. The only real higher level of assurance you can have is them making the claim in response to a subpoena or warrant.

If you're worried that they're secretly keeping logs, I would say that they're not any less trustworthy than anyone else. If you're worried that they're misconfiguring their networks in some way that can allow logging or engaging in other business practices that you don't like, then that might be a legitimate issue.

And all conspiracy theories are based on coincidences. That's what makes them conspiracy theories. If all you're using for a VPN is privacy, you're not doing much, because there's plenty of ways to associate your real IP address with a web session used through a VPN or with a real human identity that anonymous VPN providers can't help you with.

It works in real time with the phone's camera, having a steady hand helps the program's accuracy. It can translate 103 languages online and 50 by itself offline or in airplane mode.

I have a pair of La Milano boots, they are really well made and are comfortable to wear all day. I do event/wedding photography and sometimes I have to go into the woods to get that one shot and these boots are a perfect fit for me. That Amazon title has them listed as "Ankle Combat Boots," but while these bad boys will keep your feet dry if you step on a puddle, I would not recommend them for heavy outdoor hikes. They look just like dress shoes once you cover them up with your pants. They are quiet due to their rubber soles, and are my go to boots for when I know I'm going to an event when I'm going to be standing most of the time.

The second pair I have is from Crevo. These I use when we go to parties as guest. Their bottom outer sole is semi hard, and sound great on hardwood flooring. But their inner sole lining doesn't last long. Mine lost is "memory" foam after several uses and I ended up getting some running soles from New Balance.

I have an pair of olschool Stacy Adams two tone boots that have lasted for almost 4 years. I don't even know the name since it's worn out and I've had the sole replace, but the leather is still holding strong, it hasn't' broke or cracked.

The fourth pair is more or less a low cut cowboy boot that I had made in Mexico. I don't wear it much, but we have a big western/cowboy culture that I think I was kinda forced to get it.

Nord has security breaches in it's history, is incredibly slow (in the bottom 10 or 5%, if I recall correctly), unclear logging policies, and very identifiable payment/account systems.

Use Mullvad.

I believe the modern rogue has a video on how to get the most privacy possible. Everything in the video is good information, EXCEPT using Nord VPN because they sponsored the video so do your own research on that.

Link to video:

As far as a quick answer for just the browser question, firefox is your best bet, along with duck duck go.

Also if someone wants to debunk anything in the video or here, you're free to say! I'd love hearing ways of being more secure, and learning something new. Also, again, I can not say anything about wether NordVPN is good or not. You'll have to do research into that on your own I guess.

I don't know about more, but it's certainly not safer than a regular browser.

You might be familiar with how a company will get a list of ~20,000 phone numbers then sell it to a telemarketing company. It's the same thing with Opera, but they do it with web traffic and ad targeting.

I can't recommend anything free. NordVPN has a good reputation and is easy to use for a reasonable price. You just have to look at the pros and cons of each service and see what fits your needs best.

This is nice, but not completely accurate. Shed style, for example, has shed-like angled roof lines. Foursquare is a Craftsman style, not Prairie. And many styles are missing. Interesting, but there are better and more accurate guides. See Virginia McAlester “Field Guide to American Houses” available here.
