Do you send a lot of emails with the same basic information? You can easily create a template in Gmail to save yourself valuable time.

I don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder.

That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever.

Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy.

Some of us will move mountains for our homes. Others even move their country’s border! ⛰️

A Belgian farmer was working on a tractor when a huge stone annoyed him. So, he moved it 7.5 feet out of his path. The only problem? That stone was part of a network of rocks placed between France and Belgium back when they officially designated the border in 1819! 😲

Luckily, there were no hard feelings on either side of the border. "People in both Belgium and France had a good laugh over it," CBS News reports.
