Condolences - alas, 2020 isn't done with you, nor with the rest of us. Def. shaping up to be a year many of us would rather forget.

I... I... I made a mistake...
I looked at the 'Exponents that were poorly P-1 factored" and I took the first assignement.
And I took the first one, 538,538,081... it was tested with a B1 of 30k... now the stage1 is done correctly... The second stage is killing me. it is slow. But i'll see thru...1H30 for about 1% with 3 core.

Are you thrashing (swapping memory to disk)? You could stop. Reduce your RAM to 6GB and restart.

Starting here in Chicago, too. In the last day or two I read of Dr Fauci saying, "We're still in a drawn-out First Wave." I believe his point is that transmissions were never reduced to low enough levels.

Iberia have cancelled our flights SPC->MAD->LHR three times now, most recently this morning for tomorrow's flight.


That's enough business with them for the foreseeable future.

Swim. It will be faster. And you will feel better for it.

It doesn't look like you've been doing any business with them lately. Rather, they've been "giving you the business." At least you've put a stop the that.

I very much doubt it. The south-bound African current moves faster than I can swim. Taking the long way round, via the North Atlantic Drift, is a bit parky at this time of year.

Transport within the canaries is still moving freely. I have not yet looked into the possibility of ferries to the likes of Cadiz followed by hitch-hiking to the English Channel ports.

Fly to JFK, then to LHR. What is the worst that can happen.
Take a Pan-Am or Lufthansa 747.
