About kill switch
Were we sleeping when everything changed? Seems like the technologically driven future is already here. On kill switch, we explain the right NOW of our super charged technological lives. New host Dexter Thomas (https://www.instagram.com/dexdigi/?hl=en) answers questions big and small – like who’s behind Shrimp Jesus, and could you get arrested by a computer? kill switch also brings the DIY back to tech – “How to Now” on everything from how to run your own LLM to tips to keep your data safe.

It can even be one grandparent. And that there are some strong links about having high HDL. Though, Nir has feelings about cholesterol. Lipid is a very boring subject. I want to get over it.
