| ^ I don't use them on a regular basis. I think the Windscribe, Privado and Hide Me VPNs give you 10GB per month, which is more than enouigh. Proton might actually be unlimited in fact..... If you don't have a paid account, Proton does have a handful of free VPNs you can use. I think their limits ar... |

| I had a long and convoluted dream this morning but only remember one part of it. In that part, I was in a building with several others and someone was handling a highly venemous snake. The snake wasn't very threatened and he wasn't holding it in such a way that the snake couldn't bite him. I suddenl... |

| One thing that may have some bearing is that any intelligent races out there would likely be relatively recent. Note: "relatively recent" here would mean something like "after the first generation or two of stars". Under the Big Bang Theory, the original universe was only the lig... |

| I use ProtonVPN all the time on my cell phone and don't have any issues with it. One thing that you can do is to route through two different sites to obscure the path a bit more. My cell phone, for example, currently is configured with entrance and exit points in the US and in Iceland. On two occasi... |

The best suggestion I heard was to buy a bunch of blow-up dolls, fill them with helium, and release them during totality.
Make everyone think that the rapture has begun and they are being "left behind". |

| ^Aah. That makes quite a bit more sense. Around here maybe 1-2% of kids take school buses - some "cross boundary," if schools are full or families move, others are all for private schools - and most of them are religious schools. But ~98% of kids live close to the schools they go to so Mo... |

| A niece of mine lives in the path of totality. They were pretty much right in the middle, but the predictions have shifted a bit. The local school there is not having classes that day because they think it would be dark before some of the kids in the county could get home from school that day. They... |

I have a paid ProtonMail account and use the ProtonVPN included with it. Use both the VPN and the private browsing. I don't really need it, ... |

All in all, it wasn't too bad a lunch, but I wasn't real impressed with their cooking. They served ribeye steak that was greatly overcooke... |
