  • Raycon Everyday Earbuds Pro Review: Great, But Not for the Price

    Take a look at Raycon's about page, and you see a company that bills itself on offering high-quality audio without the expensive price tag. To the company's credit, the Raycon Everyday Earbuds Pro are significantly cheaper than Apple's $249.99 AirPods Pro and Samsung's $229.99 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, but "pro" doesn't actually tell you anything when it comes to buds.

  • Ask Amy: Sex offender lives in the neighborhood
    Denver Post, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 06:30 AM

    Dear Amy: I have a neighbor who was previously convicted of a sexual offense involving a “child.” He served time in jail. I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I do understand that the term “child” may include a person as young as an infant and as old as a teenager. The sexual offender is married with two young children. I know that he and his wife want to keep his history private. However, the other neighbors around where I live are not aware of the situation and their kids play and interact with the sexual offender’s family. Do I need to inform the unknowing neighbors about his status as a sex offender, or should I remain silent? I’d appreciate your advice. — Uncertain Dear Uncertain: You don’t say how you know about this offense, but you should take it as a given that these neighbors don’t want others to know that he is a convicted sexual offender.
