Edward Snowden. Quote from Permanent Record

WHENEVER I GO outside, I try to change my appearance a bit. Maybe I get rid of my beard, maybe I wear different glasses. I never liked the cold until I realized that a hat and scarf provide the world's most convenient and inconspicuous anonymity. I change the rhythm and pace of my walk, and, contrary to the sage advice of my mother, I look away from traffic when crossing the street, which is why I've never been caught on any of the car dashcams that are ubiquitous here. Passing buildings equipped with CCTV I keep my head down, so that no one will see me as I'm usually seen online - head-on. I used to worry about the bus and metro, but nowadays everybody's too busy staring at their phones to give me a second glance. If I take a cab, I'll have it pick me up at a bus or metro stop a few blocks away from where I live and drop me off at an address a few blocks away from where I'm going.

5.11 tactical A.T.A.C.® 6" Side Zip Boots fair review

5.11 tactical A.T.A.C.® 6'' Side Zip Boots fair review
Quality of material. The leather began to crack after just a month of wear. And now it just burst. I put a flashlight inside my boot so that anyone could see the gaping hole.
These were the third boots of this model that I bought. And the last ones.
The quality has become simply disgusting. "Salami slicing" from economics.
September 28, 2022 @511tactical made me 98(!!!) complaintsmaf, now I will write the naked truth about their products. This is not the only drawback; the other two are covered in my blog.
5.11 tactical A.T.A.C.® 6" Side Zip Boots. Flaw in engineering

ZEOS Library support for the Embarcadero Delphi 11, 12

Github logo
While testing the components made by FMSoft uniGUI with databases, I discovered that two versions of Delphi running simultaneously were fighting over Zeolib packages. So I had to make Zeolib support for Embarcadero Delphi 11.
This addition gives the support for Embarcadero Delphi 11 to ZeosLib, changed the LibSuffix from 270 to 280 for Delphi 11.
Published on Github

On November 14th I had to make Zeolib support for Embarcadero Delphi 12.
This addition gives the support for Embarcadero Delphi 12 to ZeosLib, changed the LibSuffix from 280 to 290 for Delphi 12.
Compile for Windows 32 Target Platform.
Before my code edits, the Delphi 12 Athens compiler gave an error: "E2251 Ambiguous overloaded call to 'Max'"
