Michigan has a bill to ban VPNs where SSH is just another "circumvention tool" that must be blocked too. If SSH works, then your ISP is liable for $125,000 per day until they break it.

No more ports 22 or 443 in Michigan if this passes. No more e-commerce. No more banking. No more encrypted internet for anyone, of any age. Telnet and http-no-s are coming back! (Until someone tunnels through them; then ISPs will have to block those too.)

Starting your career as a barely literate dumb ass isn't going to be stacking the deck in your favor.
I managed to get pretty far in life that way, but I have spent years playing catch-up and reading like a fiend because everyone around me is better educated, more knowledgeable, and often smarter than me.

Damn. You're right. That article doesn't say it, and I didn't find the one I originally read, which was about bacteria living deep in the earth where the radiation generated ionization states that they used. IIRC it was about bacteria living in a granite based low-level uranium source. And they were living a lot deeper than previously detected bacteria. (This was about 3-4 decades ago, so it's not surprising that I can't find that article. I think it was in Science News, but possibly it was in New Scientist. In any case, what I read was a magazine article. And it was rather explicit...though of course not detailed.)

You see, the internet community at large has labeled price tags as “racist”,"

No, I don't see. I think you are full of shit. You found a word like "racist" that you think will get readers attention with no referent behind it.

The "internet community at large" doesn't exist. What exists are silos where people go to see what they believe repeated back to them.
