Is it really free if you have to give up your privacy & security?

Ads are a major security issue. Just look at how major websites keep getting compromised via the ad network (with Forbes being one of the more recent examples).

Just not worth it, and I just switched to Firefox with uBlock on Android because of this (and Firefox is far from perfect).

I want a browser which cares about my privacy/security instead of worrying about offending ad networks (maybe that will force them to fix this mess).

What makes you think that she won't pull something like that again, when the kids are even more influenceable? You are way too nice about this. What she did is 'psychopath' level IMO, and I can easily see her cause more problems. Forcing those kids to go through all of this was extremely selfish of her. In some cases, losing this type of parent isn't the worst thing (I've seen/experienced a lot of shit).

That said, I'm very impressed! It's obvious your kids' wellbeing is really important to you, which is really nice to hear (nowadays, too many kids having kids, and are getting this really wrong).

Not the gf, just someone who has seen a lot of crazy stuff.

To be honest, I wouldn't be as worried about legal problems (you definitely seem to have that under control), I'd be more concerned about her slowly planting really bad seeds in their head, which can do more damage in the long run, and can be more difficult to control.

Toyota did everything it could to NOT support the RAV4 EV (only 2600 will be built), but it's an amazing car. It's a Toyota RAV4 shell on top of a Tesla drivetrain.

Until last year, out-of-state buyers were buying them in droves (almost bought one myself), but Toyota put a stop to that by not paying non-CA Toyota dealers for any 'work', and killed the incentives on top of that.

I actually disagree with that statement. Leasing can make sense in a few scenarios:

• Electric vehicles are a great example, as battery technology is maturing rapidly, and manufacturers have been using the tax credit they get as owner of the vehicle to discount the leases significantly.
• You are waiting for a new version of your favorite car to come out in 2 years or less, you need a new reliable car, but really want that MY2016. Leasing can work in this scenario.

Of course, you have to be smart about leasing, and don't do things such as large down payments or a 4 year lease.
