When no publisher agrees to distribute your print publication, you're on your own, too. Unless there are state owned backbones, you can't play the censorship card.

Really. I have an i5-3570K (not overclocked, GTX 1060) and can't run Battlefield 1, a game that is over 3 years old, on low settings in 1080p with a decent framerate. Thing is, alot of current gen games on PC use CPU heavily and a simple GPU upgrade wont remove the bottleneck that is an 8 year old CPU. I'm in a similar situation and got myself a PS4 Pro about a year ago because I didn't want to upgrade a mobo+cpu+ram combination that's still perfectly viable for most non-gaming usage.

Understanding of this illness is developing every day. The more we understand it, the better we can battle it. Someone who might die today can probably be saved in a month, because methods of treatment have evolved and increase chances of survival.
So flattening the curve is not only about preventing systematic overload of the health care system, but also buying time for research.

The more internal resistance a device has, the more it's going to heat up when current is forced through it.
If it heats up enough, it might be an ignition source.
