You can just encrypt your stuff and upload it via http. You can even run ssh over http if you work at it. Encryption is as easy as using zip. And if you uploaded a very large file, they can't realistically log it - so you could even up

I said "nozzle", as in the side walls of the engine. The force doesn't transfer via those walls, rather it goes through the full tank of the rocket and pushes against the top.

You are calling other people gullible and easy to manipulate, and yet somehow you believe that Trump actually suggested bleach. He didn't. Seems to me you need to look in a mirror.
