I looked up a list of countries without extradition to the US and it's a short list today. I'm not sure what it was when this took place, but it's probably quite similar. Not many of the options seem like an appealing long term plan π

I recall Snowden speaking out against WikiLeaks because they were a seemingly unfiltered trove of secrets disseminated, and he considered it reckless. Whereas Snowden worked with Greenwald and his team and ultimately had them figure out what to be published.
I definitely remember WikiLeaks and the Clinton campaign though! I thought that was a Julian Assange thing.
It's pretty crazy that he left his cushy job getting paid a government contractor salary and living in Hawaii and end up in Russia living in exile. He didn't strike me as someone who hates America - but someone who hated the abuse of power and lies. Which is all the more ironic. I still can't reconcile it. I understand that America isn't ALWAYS the good guy, and it's got a long history of awful things. But Russia? I still don't get it.
I rented a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander in 2022 and it was amazing how unresponsive it was. It's a small SUV with the engine of a hamster. It has a "sport mode" that really struggled to get me up some hills in Colorado.
Also, the rubber seal for the door, on 3 of the doors, was constantly feel off and could be worn as a second seatbelt.
Alright, I'll keep that in mind, thanks π I appreciate it
It's getting easier. I'm a heavy guy, and a run typically leaves my calves feeling like they were assaulted with a hammer. I've only got 70mi on my shoes, and they're pretty comfy. So I think it's something to get used to.
I'm training for a half marathon. I put in 7mi today when Hal Higdons plan only called for 4. At first I was very proud. But now I'm just tired and nauseous hahaha.
Near a previously active volcano in Iceland. Now, it's probably burned from lava, as the volcano is erupting again.
I signed up to run a half marathon. I have never ran that far in my life.
This links to Reddit, but I can't even view the article because I'm not logged in. Do you have an alternative link?
I've read about a dozen of his works, and probably more if you count short stories. I really enjoy his writing style. I started with the Homeland series and have gone backwards and forwards. His latest work reads similar to Neil Gaiman's in a sense that I'm hooked and drawn into a new universe. Homeland was EXCELLENT. His earlier stuff is really creative and very detailed. The way he breaks down and describes how tech works is accurate and detailed. He's got 4 short stories that make up a works called Radicalized that really well describe the awful experience some people get fiscally locked into in tech.
TLDR: yes.
Hospitality management? Outside of that, very unsure.
Wrecked me π
