I used FreeTaxUSA this year to file and was happy with them except for a pretty dark pattern.
If you google "FreeTaxUSA" and log-in that way, it'll change your free-file account to a paid account and there is no way to change it back. To free-file with them, you need to always log in using the special IRS link.
I thought this was pretty annoying, especially as there's no way for customer service to change it back. Their recommendation was to make a new account and re-enter all my tax info.
I've found slack (or other asynchronous tools) to be helpful for this. I'm able to ask a question without actively interrupting someones work. Once they get to a breaking point they can respond.
When I was in elementary and middle school (early 2010s) his books were very popular. I remember reading Percy Jackson & the Olympians and later The Kane Chronicles and The Heroes of Olympus.
From personal experience, Rick Riordan's series had similar interest levels between girls and boys but later series (Hunger Games, House of Night, Fault in Our Stars) did skew towards girls. My reading also fell off as I got older so I'm sure I wasn't as in touch with what my peers were reading.
I can't speak to how common the practice is but it's often an option on firewalls. My understanding of the reasoning behind it is that it allows the company to monitor employees usage of the network to protect from data exfiltration and malware that uses HTTPS.
It's usually done as part of a firewall that will MITM traffic on the network.
People with androids (green messages) will not be added to group chats because it turns everyone else's messages green. When making plans they will usually get texted individually but it can unintentionally lead to exclusion.
Texting someone with an android is much less convenient than using an iPhone and anecdotally this is one reason kids choose iPhones over Android.
