The VPN arms race - they bloc and we figure out a counterIf you use a VPN, you can't even make a restaurant reservation without some site blocking you for using a VPN.

A Navy diving suit that recycles wasted oxygen and helium
WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 26, 2015 - The Hindenburg wasn’t brought down by lightning, static, or sabotage. History’s most famous airship was destroyed by helium. Or rather, the lack thereof. The zeppelin’s Nazi builders balked at the price of this rare, lighter-than-air gas. So instead, they filled the blimp with hydrogen, which is much less expensive, just as buoyant, but way more explosive. So no matter what chain of events led up to the explosion, it was helium’s scarcity that killed the airship. Today, the same gas - rare as ever - is putting a major cramp in deep-sea diving operations.
