I will do it in bad grace and grudgingly. I am suspicious of excessive virtue -I am already vegan, childfree, rarely shop for much but food and try to be an honest citizen scientist. I have no love of Si Valley nor computers and will contribute petulantly and with poor grace in the vanishingly rare cases I do..

I will shoot for the lowest level of tech I can get away with using.
