Who could say no to a deal like this?

A 70-Year-Old Whisky To Commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee

The color is a rich, dark gold. On the nose, there is the unmistakable aroma of a Sherry cask matured whisky, featuring golden raisins, dried fig, date and prune notes, along with the typical rancio aromas of furniture wax and old leather that are found in ultra-aged whiskies. There are additional notes of candied orange zest, with hints of dried dark fruit and just a hint of tropical fruit. As the whisky opens up a noticeable aroma of marzipan/almond Roca candy emerges.

And that's just the nose part. You need to actually drink the stuff to get the palate part. All that and so much more, as the promise goes, here (or click the link above). 

Oh, and about the price…

Using 2FA phone numbers for targeted advertising. One of the dumbest ways ever for a company to abuse its users’ trust. Take a bow, Twitter. And have a $150 million fine too.

I can’t think of any other company which would be so dumb as to allow advertisers to target individuals by exploiting phone numbers only shared for the purposes of 2FA.

Oh, hang on. Yes, I can.

Facebook.

    TL;DR : USE 2FA wherever possible. But do it with an authenticator app or a security key rather than a phone number if you can.
