Actually thought about it (wouldn't have been my first PSU so assaulted), but would have required a drill designed by a contortionist, extreme care next to the mainboard, and probably a complete disassembly... looked less than promising.
I'm reminded of the time a friend called me to repair her Mac. Overheating due to a dead PSU fan, easy fix, right?
Except that the PSU was riveted shut AND riveted into the case. Well, I guess we won't be replacing that after all; I suggest you leave the cover open and set a desk fan to blowing on it...
This is why I only use GMail for Google-related stuff: Groups, Youtube, and the like. I figure Google already has everything they want to know about me from that anyway, so no harm done and keeps the fluff out of my other mailboxes. And I only use it via POP3 so I never have to deal with the interface.
Otherwise...
GMX for free-and-reliable. (Can also do POP3.) Owned by 1&1.
I know people using Protonmail (for encrypted) and POBox.com without complaint.
Another option is to buy your own domain and use it with mail-only hosting. IIRC, 1&1 offers that for something like $1/month. (I have my main hosting there and mostly use my domains for email anyway, and that gives me more mailboxes than I can use.)
But if you want reliable above everything else, nothing beats Earthlink. This is why I still pay for an Earthlink dialup account (tho I no longer need the connection) -- and I've done years of CC: comparisons with multiple email hosts.
BTW Yahoo still has that issue with email intermittently vanishing without a trace -- no error, no nothing, sometimes for months on end -- that's been an ongoing problem since at least 1998.
Move to Alaska. Site the computer outside in the woodshed. Problem solved!
Actually, I already kinda ran this experiment... lived a winter in Montana in a functionally unheated space; ambient temperature around the PC averaged about 30 degrees (tho worst case occasionally hit zero). Even so, the PC's sensors reported within a couple degrees of their normal-room temperatures.
I'm not sure since I don't use blocking, but my grok is that people reading the comment chain won't see the blockee either. Presumably this was so your other followers can't be harrassed by the blockee. But that doesn't stop your followers from following the blockee.
Not really different from being thrown out of a bar -- after that no one in THAT bar can hear you, but you can still go next door to drink, and if someone from the first bar wants to hear you, they too can go next door.
But back to Twitter... when anyone complains, they need to remember Twitter's blocking policies are not under Trump's control; they were put in place at the behest of Special Snowflakes who don't want anyone they disagree with in their safe spaces. They don't just want to not hear the Bad People; they want the Bad People silenced entirely, so NO one can hear them.
He delves deeply into the evolutionary psychology of the whole religion thing, and his new lecture series is "The Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories".
They are not being censored. They aren't being listened to. #1A says you have the right to speak without being silenced by the gov't. Nowhere does it say that anyone, including POTUS, must *listen* to you, officially or otherwise. They can still speak; but by his own choice, he can't hear them.
And I'd guess there's a whole lot more to this story, such as incessant crapflooding by the plaintiffs, since judging by the sheer shit that people post in reply to Trump, merely being disagreeable or insulting won't get you blocked.
And Twitter is technically a private space, no matter who chooses to make use of it. You aren't obligated to let anyone into the private space which Twitter "rents" to you (if you had to, there'd be no such thing as private accounts or blocking). If these plaintiffs manage to make it a public space with public #1A protections, it follows that no one can be banned by Twitter either, and here come back all those folks the snowflakes have been assiduously blocking and banning. Goose, meet gander.
My next thought was... what's the structural integrity of that long center cross-member under the inevitable flex while in the air?? And does it really need to be that wide??
And if this TigerSwan outfit went a little beyond the immediate locale in their investigation, it's probably because the whole "protest" was set up by EarthFirst, which is Soros-funded, and there were a lot of tentacles to pursue. (No, the local tribes had almost nothing to do with the protest, and why had no one protested until the pipeline was almost complete? in fact one tribe didn't even show up when invited to the planning meetings. Probably a lot more interested in the land-use fees about to be paid by the pipeline.)
Funny how the pipeline is visible only as a mowed swath of grass, while the protest left behind a slum village that took a couple million in taxpayer money to clean up.
Professional beekeepers are too damn busy to waste time on surveys. And if the survey has any brains, it'll ask "How long" and "how many hives" precisely to sort for experience.
Hint: the pros move their hives on medium-sized trucks.
Technically, European honeybees are an invasive species in North America, so if you want to go all deep-green, you should be calling for their extermination in the wild. How many of our native bees have they replaced?
And actually, wild colonies don't do terribly well and tend to be small; off-season starvation is a major problem. Beekeepers feed and water their bees (that's what the sugar-water stations around commercial hives are for).
Normal die-off is around 20%. And a queen's *productive* lifespan is about 3 years, degrades in her 4th year and becomes a liability in her 5th year, since hives with old queens get mean and difficult to handle.
And it was actually a bug in the hardware's timer chip, that happened to dovetail with Win95/98. Not all hardware had the bug, and those without did not experience the 49 day rollover. (My everyday W9* boxen apparently lacked the bug, as both would run for several months at a crack, and I never applied the patch.)
It also means that if IQ is genetic, that means there are biochemical factors involved, which might be altered via medication, gene therapy, etc. and the low-IQ problem might be fixable. But if it does prove fixable, and there are no low-IQ people left, there won't be anyone left stuck in the welfare state, and again the leftist agenda falls apart.
As to culture and the man keepin' 'em down, this doesn't explain how low IQ peoples whose entire continents spent millennia in splendid isolation never managed to so much as invent the wheel, or even a concept of the future. (Not enough pressure from outside forces? That theory falls apart when you realise how much these isolated peoples made war on one another.)
If they're the smartest person in the world, and given the world we have today... how come they haven't figured out how to better themselves and are still doing subsistence farming?
Cuz historically, no one stays a subsistence farmer if they're smart enough to observe that there are better prospects, and I doubt there's anyone today, other than a few extremely isolated primitives, is not to some degree aware of the wider world.
"I'd define intelligence as how fast you can internalize new rule-sets and data. ie, how fast you learn stuff. "
As it happens, there's a strong correlation between speed of neural transmissions (easily measured by twitch reflexes) and IQ. So it does look like IQ is fundamentally a property of processing speed.
And IQ testing isn't done so much by questions, as by visuals that are culture/education-neutral: figuring out how A leads to B solely from what's immediately in front of you:
I bought Warp 4 in the retail box, and had a similar experience. It was bog-slow, locked up at random, used about 10x as much RAM as Windows to run the same apps, proved incapable of printing large documents because it consistently ran out of memory, and after the second time it committed seppuku (via a problem sufficiently well-known that the fix was documented deep in the manual) I gave it up.
Further, it's not the "world's seed bank", it's one of the smaller such facilities, of several worldwide. Funny how the ones in the US and England don't rely on permafrost.
I will point out that in citing a blog full of "might have" and "could have" but not a single hard fact, both you and your source have performed identically to the recent incarnations of the nightly mainstream news.
Credibility has been reduced to the point where as soon as I see such speculatory phrasings, I know that the media is Making Shit Up again, geared not to informing, but rather to leading public opinion down the desired garden path.

I thought that was interesting (and a nice crosscurrent to the character's unappealing face) but I suspect it'll be used as the series' deus ex machina.

Right now, government is run like a crime syndicate. Is that better than being run like a normal business??
I had the exact same thought. :)
My next thought was... what's the structural integrity of that long center cross-member under the inevitable flex while in the air?? And does it really need to be that wide??
Under that definition, military craft and fire-fighting planes are all in trouble...

At about the halfway point, the total was 24,000 TONS of garbage. And about a dozen abandoned dogs.
