Funny that you should mention it.
I just tried it out, and it seems really promising.
Anyway, it worked where Mail Bomber failed!

Prisoners = CONS
Buccaneering = PIRACY
Conjectures = THEORIES
Conspiracy Theories
Nice clue!

Have you ever noticed that you can go to Kindle Cloud Reader[^] to read your Kindle books in your browser? It works in Chrome and Edge.
You just sign in with your amazon account and your books show up there.
Notes & Highlights
Here's the additionally interesting thing:
You can get your notes and highlights there in (I think) a better format.
At the top left of the Cloud Reader there is a little page icon -- float over it and you'll see "your notes and highlights". Click that and it'll open up a new window and you can see all the highlights you've made in books and you can even copy those out which is quite nice.
Not sure why this isn't made more obvious from Amazon.

I've seen that done at bush BBQs, after drinking most of the afternoon and into the evening the host wants to get rid of the guests. Go home you lot!! he yells, and is ignored, he then chucks a box of 22 cartridges onto the fire. 30 seconds later he has the place to himself.

Didn't make it a habit ... having survived ... but you know things are like this in youth. You just had your first beer, your first cigarette. Now you have to move. Life getting it's licks in before ... it's time to trade in the Weber for an hibatchi!
And downsize.

As a youth in the early 70s I spent some time 60 miles (yeah that long ago) north of Ivanhoe working on a sheep station, wonderful experience and I did survive it - just. Bloody red neck bushies, wonderful people but we did some dammed silly things to entertain ourselves.

Yeah, I agree.. 45's would be a lot better!
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

What are people using these days for folder/file encryption?
After a few collisions with MS stupidity, enabling bit-locker is anathema to me, besides, I'm not interested in encrypting entire hard drives. If I have a hard drive fail, I just replace them and sledgehammer the old drive (see caution below about this technique).
I'm playing around with VeraCrypt which shows promise. Looking to stay with something public domain rather than commercial "I left a backdoor open for the <insert govt="" here="">" product. I know, I'm being paranoid.

Downfalls of the sledgehammer approach: a cautionary tail
So, years ago, long before SSDs hit the market, I had 3 or 4 drives that that reached the ripe old age of 5. Replacing them with new 7200 rpm units, I thought I would teach some of my children about data safety and let them earn a few bucks. Hiring them, I encouraged them to smash away, and get back to me when they thought they were done. Destructive little buggers, they could work for Hillary.  I had no idea what I started.
A few years ago, I went looking for a stack of old laptops. I knew I could put them up for sale on Ebay, easily pick up a few bucks for Christmas. Can't find them anywhere. Come to find out that some of the kids had been listening/watching the drive destruction process. Figuring *all* old computer equipment fell into the same category, they decided they wanted to see what was in a laptop, employing a hammer to open them. I wasn't told until many months had passed. Took me a while to calm down (one was an old development laptop that I had planned on installing Linux).

If any government organisation has so little to do that they need to read my data - let them go ahead. I'm more concerned about losing my laptop/phone; your average criminal won't be able to break any decent encryption on the market.
Lovely (horror) story about your kids.

That is why I have stopped travelling to the US. Americans as people are welcoming, but their government is bipolar - they either let anyone in, or they go full paranoia mode.
I suspect that this is due to their religion - non-profiling is considered so important that they would rather inconvenience everyone than the very small minority who might be dangerous
