Proton. They're a great company, and offer more services than just a VPN.

They're also the only for profit (at the time) company I've ever seen say, "Hey, our cost of running the services has dropped, so we're lowering our prices."

One cool feature they offer is their secure core servers. Basically, your traffic bounces to a server in a neutral country (Switzerland for instance), then back to a US server so it looks like your traffic is from the US on the website's end. This does noticeably increase latency, though (~200ms for me)

You don't need any new parts to fix this, though, except maybe a new sock. You just heat up your hotend for a while and it'll pull off. If it's too thick, stick the hotend in the oven for a bit.

I had this happen. Pop the whole hotend in the oven on the warm/hold setting for a bit and it should come off fairly easily.

The US has a bad history regarding competency tests. It's better to have a cut off age.

Even if they're mentally capable, they probably won't be alive to experience the consequences of the decisions they make while in office.

Plus, in your 90s you're not going to be very aware about the issues that most of the population face.
