“The Patty Duke Show” made its debut in 1963, airing through 1966, and though I came to love the show, I didn’t catch the series in its original run. How could I? I wasn’t born yet.

title: “What Is A Captcha Code " ShowToc: true date: “2023-01-23” author: “Samuel Melancon” Those crazy letter and number codes are called CAPTCHA, and they are essentially a human response test.

The same is true if you want to access iPlayer when abroad....

Despite six in 10 Americans believing that abortion should be legal in all states, the 50-year-ruling was reversed by the Republican-leaning Supreme Court on 24 June. As a result, 26 states have either already, or likely will, make abortion illegal in the immediate future.
