Sure, why not? I can use a new brother.

Oof.

And I read it wrong like multiple times.

Thank you

I generally overshoot when it comes to the hardware specs, if I can. That way you're prepared in advance if you end up having the option to upgrade your Internet connection.

Otherwise, you may find yourself locked in to the slower plan due to the cost of upgrading your hardware.

But, sometimes you have to choose realistic over optimal, of course. So in other words, I do not think I know what's best for you! Just offering a perspective that has worked for me, in case it helps you in some way as you evaluate the choice that's best for you.

Faster? Sure. Significantly? No. Not at the unfathomably large scale we're talking about. When adopted to these ridiculously huge distances, the effect the increase in speed modern technology might allow will quickly diminish.

Furthermore, the nearest black hole is a hell of a lot farther away than the Voyager craft have so far made it to. Just ridiculously farther.

I'm pretty confident this is not realistic at all until we managed to make some significance leaps forward in the relevant technology.

I use Firefox with the udm14 extension for Google - gives me only the web results. No AI, no shopping, images, etc, only website results.

I used to hear my dad repeat Faux talking points about how "gerrymandering isn't even real" or some BS. It's been so tempting to throw it back in his face - but I know that won't be worth my time, so why bother.

Considering the Voyager probes were launched almost almost 50 years ago, I don't know how realistic this goal would be.

You don't use Google. Google uses you.

(Just to clarify, I am saying this in agreement with your comment)

I just use Firefox, install the udm14 plug-in, and never think about it again...

Let's not forget ~~lobbying~~bribery. And since said political influence is ostensibly being bought for the sake of charity, nobody would even blink.

Just my theory, mind you. But every one of these charitable foundations is primarily done for tax avoidance. No question. Well that is every one of these foundations except for the one set up by Mr President Tiny Dick. He just can't resist the temptation of embezzlement. I mean seriously, he bankrupted THREE casinos, and had a judge not just dissolve his foundation, but also bar him from running one of these so-called charitable foundations ever again.

I don't even want to know how you can fuck up that egregiously. One of those things where you have to wonder if successfully finding understanding of how it happened is going to hopelessly corrupt your own soul for all of eternity.

I get what you're saying, but life itself is a social experiment, really...
