Look into Eutelsat. I've heard mention recently that they're expanding as a viable starlink competitor. I have no direct knowledge, but maybe they'd cover your needs cheaper.

Strange, I've downloaded almost 6TiB over the last month so far and my bill is still $120/mo.

But of course.

Got it, so wait for it in humble bundle or buy it once it sinks to $5.

Ah yes, because nothing inspires confidence like hiding from reviewers.

A quick search led me to this one:

The tl;dr edition though: no one has ever gotten popcorn lung from vaping. Yes, diacetyl is dangerous to inhale, which is why it was removed from legal flavorings a solid decade or so ago. Cigarettes contain more diacetyl than vape flavors did though, and no one has ever gotten popcorn lung from smoking cigarettes either. It's a common story that gets repeated with circular citations and won't go away.

This shit again? It's been debunked dozens of times and it keeps coming back.

Good news, after obtaining a piece of neutron star in those dimensions, you wouldn't need to worry about it anymore.

I think it's Sparnie, there's a leg on that second P. Looking it up, seems Sparnies is a "Sarnie" shop, which I guess is a British term for a sandwich?

Decent read, and people should definitely be aware of the contents, but I fundamentally disagree with the conclusion. Encrypted email has purpose, so long as the caveats are understood by the parties using it. I use it for internal company emails containing secure data. I am the IT department, so I can ensure no user is misusing it. In that circumstance, it has purpose. Are there other ways to accomplish the same thing? Sure. But this is still a viable solution.
