2. My partner is an annalist, her work is often quoted and republished in part or in full behind paywalls, going through correct channels to read what they published can take days to weeks & they need to know Pronto!
Edit: Clearly because I'm paying for The Economist I believe they should be remunerated for their journalism, but a hard policy of "no access unless you've verify-ably paid" would be a worse status quo

> I have titled follow the science except when we want you to follow us and we're just going to pretend it's because we're talking science. One of the many executive orders that Biden has introduce President Biden on January 21st requires masks in national parks. [...] News reports on this tend to say masks required inside and outside when in crowded areas like overlooks, which you know, that that would sound reasonable. That sounds like, yes a hundred percent when you're indoors with strangers you should be wearing masks at this point Correct and you know in a really crowded place on overlooks ah okay sure but the actual EO [says...] [{reading of section 1 second paragraph only}] Thank you Zach. So that doesn't actually specify that you're not required to wear a mask if you're away from people outside. And that worries me because everyone who spends any time outside now and you all should be. Especially if you should be in whatever form...

> No offence, but will installing this on "Windows 10" lead to any instability. Can I uninstall it without breaking something. I ask because, I'm currently on my second desktop. Recently bought after my eight-year old Linux desktop gave up the ghost.
> As I said, I bought a new PC intending to put Linux on it. On the first, trying to enable boot-from-usb, to create a recovery image. Couldn't enter the bios. After enable safe-mode in Windows, I ended up with a black screen. Because certain combinations of graphic card, monitor and UEFI are incompatible. You might think all I need to do is reboot, but no, the recovery utility puts the PC in permanent safe-mode.
> On the second PC, I tried to enable usb boot in the UEFI but ended up with "corrupt bios". So now I don't dare touch it for fear of ending up with a black-box again. How the f*ck can they design a combination of Windows and the BIOS that there is no way of recovering from a bad configuration. I never had such problens on my eight year old PC. There was no way to break the BIOS with a few key combinations. I tried reading-up on UEFI, seems to be an excercise in confusion. Sorry for the rant.
