Reader's Digest magazine saved a life! First episode of Review of back issues of Reader's Digest magazine. I'm starting with January, 1970 and working forward from there. There's lots of interesting content in these older issues of RD. This program reviews that content and I share my thoughts and opinions.
Needed a pair of jeans I'd feel comfortable and confident wearing while in both casual settings and working outside in the field (e.g., welding or painting).
I first started wearing Carhartt jeans in high school and later on wore them for work. I really liked the quality (material and manufacturing) of their jeans. That being said, after a while they seemed a little too baggy (regardless of the style and size). Found also that cheaper jeans ($5 at Walmart) were ok for work so at some point I stopped buying Carhartt.
It's 2021 now and most (not all) other jeans I've seen are made of cheap material (often stinks, bad odors which sometimes can hang around even after a good washing), poorly stitched together and the fit usually isn't great.
Most skinny (or skinny-ish at least) jeans have no room for the tallywacker so you have to tuck it back (tucked really tight). A good fitting pair of straight-leg jeans (which I prefer) are not easy to find . Loose or baggy jeans are now mostly wore by old timers (who once, what seems like long ago, railed against and criticized that look). So over the years I've found myself wearing whatever halfway decent quality, ok looking and alright fitting (usually straight leg and not too loose) jeans I can find (often wearing out the better ones as I wear them too frequently).
I've been using the Brave web browser itself (not the search) for a couple of years now (I thought I'd been using it since 2018 but from what I've read online tonight I guess that probably isn't possible although I think I have a screenshot from back then... will have to check later.) and I've almost entirely abandoned the Mozilla Firefox web browser after they went full CCP/woke earlier this year...
Started using Brave's Search Engine a few months ago. What I probably like best about Brave Search is their independent search. Brave uses their own built-from-scratch index. They don't use results from other search engines like Gabriel Weinberg's kosher DuckDuckGo does.
Bitcoin.com's defunct mining pool is several months behind on payouts and is now asking users to provide identity documents.
"I received an email from Bitcion support team yesterday. Email was sent by bitcoin global support teamleader Stanislav Havryliuk. They ask me to send them a picture of my National ID card, a selfie and a bill which has my name on it. They say they would release my withdrawal when I send them these documents. Anybody received an email like this?"
