    I've been using ProtonMail for some years now. I also use Anonaddy to forward my email encrypted. Works well for me and my use case.

    I watch anime because to me it's just another medium for us to consume a good story. As well the variety of emotions it can bring out of me. The anime movie A Silent Voice brought out some serious tears from me. I would put it at the same level as that one episode from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, about Will's father. I feel like anime for a lot can be a way to relieve stress too. When the real world gives us a hard time we can relieve stress as we watch our favorite protagonist succeed, at least for myself that's true.

    "Although scientists have studied neutron stars for decades, many of their mysteries remain unsolved. For example, do the incredible pressures found within neutron stars break neutrons down into soups of still tinier subatomic particles known as quarks? What is the tipping point when gravity wins out over matter and forms a black hole?"

    No. They have a "theoretical limits of how massive and compact a single object can become without crushing itself down under the force of its own gravitational pull into a black hole", but have not observed it to be actually that.

    Helpful if you are running pfsense to filter ads via DNS. This way companies like Google can't circumvent your filters by injecting ads through HTTPS.

    I'm only speculating here; maybe because it would appeal to the population where they might need an encrypted communication app. Especially where censorship is becoming enforced strictly. Thus further sales for Huawei. Even more if other phone company's app store don't contain something similar to Protonmail.

    "Proton’s position on this is clear, and has never wavered from day one. As a Swiss company, when it comes to the data of Proton users, we will only comply with the laws of Switzerland, the jurisdiction of our headquarters and where all of our servers are located. As we have always consistently stated in our term and conditions and privacy policy, any requests which fall outside of Swiss law will be politely refused. That is not to say that we ignore foreign law enforcement requests and provide a safe haven for criminals, its just that we require all matters regarding Proton users to be adjudicated in Switzerland, through established international legal assistance channels."

    The visuals, dancing and Claire's' voice are just wonderful. Thrilled to see her creating more music.
