The poor thing has a concussion and is still required to go to the office. Absolutely absurd.

Condolences and solidarity. My dad died a few years ago. His trajectory was a few months of steady decline, one really good day out of the blue, and then he was gone about two weeks later.
We knew it could happen but experiencing it was surreal emotional whiplash.
That makes sense. Not a misconfiguration on the site's end then. Thanks for the clarification.
Weird. I've tested on a desktop and mobile device. Both loaded the archive.is link via Tor Browser (no extensions) without a problem in both "Normal" and "Safer" modes. "Safest" mode fails at the CAPTCHA page but that's expected.
Maybe the node(s) you were connected to were having issues with that domain at the time.
I found a place in Colorado that does private autopsies for the entire continental US: https://www.postmortempath.com/
I verified they're a real business. Here's an excerpt from their FAQ:
How much does an autopsy cost?
A private autopsy generally runs between $3000 to $5000, depending on the company that you use and how many additional tests and procedures you wish to be performed.
The suggested alternatives don't work though because they're superfluously suggestive. We have a few ways to fine-tune the story. I'm not sure there's an inarguable improvement but, to my taste, I see two.
"Well... You are what you eat!" She replied.
Pinocchio's gaze moved slowly toward the school.
- It doesn't matter who the speaker is. If the reader is familiar with the original story and they assume correctly that's fine. We don't need the information for our delivery though. Dropping the reference makes for a cleaner read.
- Ixnay the garnish. I considered "eager gaze" but that still felt clunky. Communicating the action in a way which mirrors the unspoken internal processing of the monstrous consideration itself leads to a more powerful realization for the reader. It now paints a scene instead of hinting how the reader should feel about it.
Part of my execution comes down to styling, and I'm particular, but packaging compact work for ease of digestion and letting the words rest as they fall leads the reader succinctly to our intended moment (which, as I understand it, is the purpose of the exercise).

This is true! Saying figs is wasps is silly in the same way that saying plants are dirt is silly. Like... Kind of? From a certain odd perspective, "sure", with caveats. It's a reductive understanding that's neither literally nor technically true but who am I? A botanist? No. I'm not.
I do know a lot happens between pollination and the fruit we might eat though and most fig varieties we grow for food or buy from stores aren't the kind pollinated by wasps anyway. I found a decent write up with more detail here: https://www.treehugger.com/are-figs-vegan-5203202
Dirt is the byproduct of life after its been on a planet for a while. Plants figured out how to recycle life and death's leftovers. Then mushrooms came along and filled the gaps in weird ways. Animals eat the plants and fungi. Other animals eat those animals. Siiiimbaaaa, right?
We typically don't think we're eating our ancestors when having a salad. We aren't beholden to the idea that we're eating wasps when munching figs either. Even in the odd case where we're eating those specific kinds of figs.
The despots wouldn't admit it but they only have power so long as they remain useful puppets for Oligarchs. Military industry is big business and the monied interests couldn't care less about national politics or allegiance.

You can meaningfully portscan the entire internet in a trivial amount of time. Security by obscurity doesn't work. You just get blindsided. Switching to a non-standard port cleans the logs up because most of the background noise targets standard ports.
It sounds like you're doing alright so far. Trying not to get got is only part of the puzzle though. You also ought to have a backup and recovery strategy (one tactic is not a strategy). Figuring out how to turn worst-case scenarios into solvable annoyances instead of apocalypse is another (and almost equally as important). If you're trying to increase your resiliency, and if your Disaster Recovery isn't fully baked yet, then I'd toss effort that way.
