Reply to Say you had a substantial income that is unaffected by where you live, where would be the best place to live? by oroora6

The balance you're trying to strike is one that's quite common for retired people. Publications that cater to those people publish annual lists of the best places to retire. Do a web search and check those out.

Countries consistently at the top are Spain, Portugal, Panama and Costa Rica.

This would be my guess too. The only solution would be to (carefully) sand and reseal the whole thing.

Reply to comment by chrisdh79 in World’s fastest internet network has been upgraded to mind-boggling 46 Terabit/s | Even if you're on a 10 Gbps fiber connection, ESnet6 has you beat 46,000 times over. by chrisdh79

This is interesting, but I'm pretty sure the math, taken from the title of the original article, is wrong.

There are 1,000 Gb in 1 Tb, so this connection is actually 4,600 times faster than 10 Gbps, not 46,000 times. Maybe they meant to write 1 Gbps instead, since that's a pretty common speed for home fiber connections.
