    Computer Security.

    I use my army number to unlock my pc. I also have Norton 360, Malwarebytes premium & Nord vpn. I still don`t feel entirely safe.

    Catapults were deemed essential when guarding your bonfire heap from marauding gangs. Beats me how no-one got badly hurt. Bows & arrows were too dangerous & no-one i knew could afford a luxurious Diana air pistol.
