Just out of curiosity- when Google is infamous for hard-to-reach human support, what in the Internet would make anyone interested to register their domain with them? Do they provide some sort of security or insurance that I am unaware of? A

When someone talks about robots destroying the mankind, I start picturing scenes from movies or tv series (i.e. Terminator, iRobot, Westworld so on) where human like robots try to destroy the mankind. Robots taking over the world may not b

Then the website must be breaking on my side, even though I cannot see any error (neither in Safari, nor in Chrome), only a couple of warnings. This is good for GP to fix the issue, I guess.

I am not being judgemental, rather trying to understand how you get fish of that size with your far-from-well-designed website (from your profile), and far-from-rich marketing contents. Is that luck? Or, your lack of time to work on your ow
