That’s about as accurate as stating all libs are commies. Or perhaps you had a specific country’s political system in mind?

So tempting to name a country that rhymes with Erika. But I won’t.

Posteo was the winner when I last looked over the alternatives, although I haven’t switched yet. Tuta, mailbox.org and Runbox were runners up.

Various reasons (mostly price, provider getting blocked too much, and being in the USA) led to a hard “no” for CounterMail, Soverin, Mailfence, StartMail, Fastmail, Proton, RiseUp, Hushmail, Skiff and Mail.com.

It’s likely you don’t need a VPN. You’re putting a lot of trust in that company; make sure it’s well founded. I just use my ISP for normal stuff, then when I want to surf under the radar for one reason or another I open up Tor.

I don’t remember how many hours I sank into that game on my Amiga. Loved it.

Twit is a light hearted jibe, much like calling someone a muppet or a dingbat. It’s not a word you would use if you really wanted to insult them.

OK so how do I easily buy a house 30 years ago?

Now we know what it’s a trap’s mum looked like.

Tricky with just one data point. If we assume the rate of denials has dropped to zero (from a previous poster, again just a single data point), and that in time that rate will pick up again, we’ll need to know what effect the next murder has, if the rate again drops to zero or hovers somewhere above it, then we should be able to come up with a reasonable estimate of how many denials a CEO is worth. The rate at which denials picks up again will in any case give a good initial estimate of that with no second murder needed, but more data will lead to greater accuracy.

Another friend once thought twat was a synonym of twit. First time she called someone a twat in my presence I was gobsmacked but thought I must have misheard; there was definitely nothing twattish going on.

The next time it happened I made a note to raise it privately with her later. “You do know what twat means don’t you?” “Yeah, it’s another word for twit.” “Er, no.”

I mentioned once giving a person of the female persuasion a wide berth (meaning to avoid that person. I can’t remember why, maybe she was particularly annoying or something).

My friends face made me realise he didn’t know that particular word and couldn’t work out what a wide birth was.

Bthoth, due to the cycylic nature of the caclendadar.

Easily. Step 1: become a billionaire, as in the image. Step 2: create 999 millionaires. Congratulations, you’re now a millionaire!
