TIL thanks! Which VPN would you suggest?

And he didn’t hurt anyone else. A lot of people who fuck around with fireworks hurt innocent bystanders.
I feel bad for his widow.
It’s a vpn. There are many, that’s just one example.
I don’t trust anyone, but I haven’t heard bat things about PIA. That was just the first one I looked up. Did something happen that we shouldn’t trust them? I know Nord is now suspect.
Private Internet Access, it’s a VPN that handles streaming and torrenting well.
40 months of PIA is $80. So for $2 a month, you can have it all with no ads and no region locking.
I love the juxtaposition of these:
During the Pascal-B nuclear test of August 1957, a 900-kilogram (2,000 lb) iron lid was welded over the borehole to contain the nuclear blast, despite Brownlee predicting that it would not work.
A high-speed camera, which took one frame per millisecond, was focused on the borehole because studying the velocity of the plate was deemed scientifically interesting.
This idea is so incredibly stupid that science needs to study precisely how much it won’t work.
Like, I wonder if the person who insisted on welding the lid in place had to go to a debriefing meeting where Brownlee showed the frame-by-frame of the lid. “So here we see the lid, and- Oh, it’s gone! Look at that. Gary, did you see it? The lid you put on there to cOnTaIn ThE bLaSt, you can see it for one thousandth of a second, and then it’s gone. It’s either in outerspace or it has been vaporized, and we’re never going to know because it happened so fast. So fast, Gary. A for effort, though. It was definitely worth bringing in the crane and a whole welding crew. Time and money well spent, because we now have a better understanding of the magnitude of how stupid you are, Gary. Here’s a print of that one millisecond for you to hang in your office. Get fucked, Gary.”
Yeah, but in 1.8 trillion years, you’re going to be a minute late for everything.
I’d love to see a Galaxy Quest: TNG tv show, but we already had the Orville.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say, Was (Not Was) did not fact-check their lyrics while writing Walk the Dinosaur. The whole song is basically an acid trip stream of barely-consciousness. One of the writers has said it was about nuclear armageddon, so there’s that.

Healed a couple of lepers and disappeared.
But where was his beard?
It’s like when people in abusive relationships suddenly realize that their partner doesn’t actually care about them, and everyone around them is like “Yeah, no shit. Fucking leave their ass.”
Trump has already been convicted of felonies.
No, this is clearly someone originally from Quebec. Because there, one egg is un ouef.
Ron, holding two cartons of eggs: “Is this all the eggs we have?”
Donna: “Yes. What are you making?”
Ron: “Eggs.”
Spotify suggested a bedtime playlist with Elin and the Lullaby Orchestra. They are from Norway. Their albums will put your kids to sleep, but It Came from the Universe to my Landing Pad slaps. That song legitimately deserves a hair metal/glam rock cover.
Let me put it this way, it will do exactly what it is supposed to do.
The covering up happened before he was elected. It could not be an official act.
But the evidence isn’t immune.
Thank you for providing an example.
Let’s say E is everyone’s second choice, but nobody’s first choice. E is the first candidate eliminated because E got 0% of the vote.
Let’s say it shakes out like this:
40% A E C B
21% B E A C
20% D E C B
19% C E D B <- You
40 A D 39 D B 21 B D
60 D 40 A
First round, E is eliminated despite being the most popular candidate by far.
Second Round, C, followed by B. D wins.
But if 3% of A voters switched to C, then A would have won because D would be eliminated, sending their votes to C, which would have eliminated B, sending those votes to A. But D and C voters hate A, so it’s in their best interest to also vote for B. And now we’re back to fptp
When considering the quality of a voting system, you want voters to be honest (i.e. not strategic in their votes). Voters should pick the candidate they agree with, not the candidates they think they must support to avoid a catastrophe.
Remember when they stripped Lance of his win, and they were going to award it to the next place finisher who didn’t also cheat, but they didn’t have one?
