What I always find somewhat funny about that is that Bush was suppose to be the dumbest fucking person on the planet yet all these people in congress were fooled multiple times by him which should be fairly telling about the quality of the people in the house and senate.

You may be wishing for a bit much with these little trash devices. You are correct in that they only way to get things to improve would be to hold manufactures responsible for the security of their devices by law but until then we can expect more things like this.
Minnesota actually, in the southern suburbs of the twin cities framing house. I paid better than the gas station did and I could still work at U-haul on the weekends.
...construction workers, plumbers....they're making $12-$19 an hour.
If your only making in that range as a construction worker you probably screwed up big time or are a high schooler / college student working in the summer. I made $17 swinging a hammer in the summer in the late 90s working construction in the summer when I was in college. One of my neighbors is a plumber and is self employed and pulls in $50/hr and the neighbor across the street is semi-retired general contractor so he only takes jobs he wants and make $45/hr. Skilled hard labor pays quite well, just ask my other neighbor who is a master mechanic who makes more than his wife who is in IT.
If it is a backup then you have at least a second copy. If it is an important document keep multiple copies. USB flash drive are cheap and there are good options for encryptionavailable. So the solution is to just backup the stuff you don't want to loose and if bringing someplace else where others would have access just encrypt it. I have copies of my important data in several places on USB drive, one in my desk at home, one in my pocket, one in the fire chest at home, one in my desk at work. All of the data is encrypted with a strong password.
While not the question asker I had assumed it was a split half cord of wood. Also for buying in bulk $8.69/lb seems awfully high to me. I got a 1/3 this year as my dad, myself, and my sister split a whole one and it only cost us $4.27/lb based on hanging weight (I think that is what is was but I know it was in the $4.2x range) although we pay the farmer directly for the cow and pay the processor for the processing. This is also grass fed, well alfalfa, from a small herd of 12-14 cattle on 35 acres and isn't pumped full of hormones and antibiotics. The farmer grinds about $100 worth of minerals into the silage for them each week to ensure that they are getting everything they need and in 37 years he has only lost 2 cattle, one in '96 when it got really cold up here in Minnesota and a calf about 5 years ago to wolves.
As for the amount of ground beef you can turn that into all sorts of delicious things like tacos, burgers, chili, meat cheese and spinach stuffed ravioli, Swedish meat balls, etc. so it isn't a problem.
I'd be fine with that but it hasn't happened to me yet and if it did I'm a big enough of an asshole that I would fight to the bitter end. The problem is that far too few people will. And yes I have made life difficult for TSA agents.
For example on a business trip last year one of their roving morons wanted to search my bag after I had already gone through the checkpoint (I still refuse to go into the scanner machine just so they have to divert resources). The agent politely asked if they can search my bag. My response was a polite no and went back to what I was doing. The TSA agent had likely never been told not so they asked again and again I responded with a no. At this point the agent got on their radio and called for a supervisor. After several minutes the supervisor showed up and asked me if they could search my bag. I told the supervisor no as well and continued on with what I was doing. The original agent and the supervisor had a little discussion and called for what I assume was a higher supervisor who showed up a few minutes later. This supervisor told me that they were going to search my bag and my loud response (so that others around me could clearly hear it) was that I do not consent to this search and that they have neither probabal cause nor reasonable suspicion to search my bag and that by searching my bag they are violating my 4th amendment rights. I then proceeded to continue sitting in my chair. They searched my bag and found a pair of pants, tooth brush, tooth paste, deodorant, hair brush, a couple of shirts, a couple of pairs of socks, a couple pairs of underwear, my work laptop, and the power cable for my work laptop. I had a number of onlookers who I'm sure were waiting to see if I would get tazed into next week. Being a well dressed white guy probably helped to ensure I didn't get tazed so if I enjoy that privilege at least I am using it to try to preserver the rights of everyone.
Of all of the federal government agencies I have had to deal with the CFPB is one I wouldn't mind dealing with again. Earlier this year I put the screws to a collection agency that fucked up really bad with me and got the CFPB, MN Department of Commerce, and MN Attorney General set upon them. I would probably take a similar route if I was a Wells Fargo customer that had this done to them because I can be a raging asshole to those who draw my ire.
I find that consistently being a thorn in their side gets good results. My soon to be former congress critter John Kline suffered from this. I was invited to one of his constituent town halls once and he was on a tear about bringing out troops home from Obama's wars and I asked him when we would be bringing all of our troops home. He blathered on about how he agreed with this and that we should bring troops home from Obama's wars as soon as possible. I responded that I was referring to bring all of our troops home that we also have stationed in Europe and Asia as Europe are big boys and that China, Japan, Korea, and India need to step up and take care of their parts of the world and that we don't need to play world police. I never got invited back to one of his town halls but he has called me personally twice since then when I have written him and after the first call has always responded to my letters personally. The first time he called me was about my letter on the USA FREEDOM act where he disagreed with my assessment of what it would do and said that the law didn't say that. My response that he was either retarded or willfully ignorant and then I read him the part of the proposed law that said exactly what I was complaining about. I pointed out that I would be informing everyone I know about this and working diligently to show that he is unfit for office. The thing is that you have to keep after them and follow through otherwise they forget and I usually send about one letter a week to my US elected officials. I feel that I am somewhat responsible for his decision to not run again and the world may be a better place, but neither Angie Craig, or Jason Lewis seem all that great either but at least Lewis has taken a stance on things instead of offering platitudes.
Probably the same amount that Senator Klobuchar gets from H-1B supporting groups. Having Written Klobuchar on the H-1B issue the best I have ever gotten back was a patronizing letter thanking me for my support of her efforts that also blamed the Republicans for not passing her expanded H-1B program.
You forget there are other things that require lots of power but they are likely more of an edge case than what you mentioned. For me it is GIS and I could bury the i7 (I think it is a 3770k) I got 4 years ago at the time. Peg all 8 virtual cores and consume 28GB out of 32GB ram for extended periods. At present I could probably use a better machine but I'm not going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a machine so instead I am waiting until I can get a box that will accept around 256GB RAM as a higher end consumer box as that is what I usually have done over the years.
Speaking of facts getting in the way it wasn't dick Cheney who leaked Valerie Plame's name. There are plenty of things to go after Cheney for but this isn't one of them.
I thought it came out that the authors basically got sick of supporting it and went all scorched earth. That said people should have moved on from TrueCrypt when this was disclosed last year. The VeraCrypt project has that fix as well as taking care of what was found during the limited TrueCrypt audit.
My impression of the roller food was it was there because someone might want to buy it and it was the hot food available but it was so low volume that they basically broke even. I never worked the day shift so maybe they sell better then and I just didn't know. As far as the rest of the "food" it always seemed best to avoid it as Doritos were about as healthy as you would get. I will admit that I had forgotten about fountain drinks and the 90+% margin but are energy drinks really big sellers? Seriously I didn't start seeing redbull until after I graduated college and tried it once and I think drinking battery acid would have been a more pleasant experience so I honestly don't know.
My worst nightmares of the gas station was hearing the shopping cart winding its way down the aisles. We had one and it lived in the back corner of the store and was mostly used for restocking ice but every once and a while someone would find it and do their grocery shopping with it. This would frequently lead to them bitching that our prices were ridiculous as they just spent $150 on groceries and only got a small cart full. Why anyone would shop at a gas station for groceries is beyond me especially since just down the road was a real grocery store that you could see from the parking lot.
To be fair not all SCADA systems are as unprotected as you would imply but they are not the fortress for security one would hope. In North America there is the NERC CIP standards that need to be followed for grid operators which are a good start and should be approachable for most/. readers. The nice thing is that NERC has teeth and fines can be huge (I believe up to $1,000,000 per violation per day of non compliance) The NERC CIP standards go a whole lot farther than the other major standard that is mentioned often in these discussion which is PCI DSS which seems to be written more for managers who like check boxes. Another consideration is the Cybersecurity Procurement Language for Energy Delivery Systems which is being picked up by a number of organizations as a set of requirements. Then there is always the reasonable and prudent CIS Benchmarks for the OSes and software you are running. I do think that a lot of SWIFT operators think that something like PCI DSS is good enough but it isn't.
We call that fuel management and should be practiced by more people who own forest land. I do but a lot of people don't and it is a shame. I have started convincing some of the property owners around me to also clean up the dead wood on their property but some just don't want to do it or just don't care.

They're struggling so much staffing they often times pull the guys/gals working on their backend security over to work on paint.
I think you have that backwards that should read:

I would think it would give us an idea of where its orbit is but where in that orbit to currently find the planed would be difficult.
Please tell me where you see people filling their tanks with the engine running.
I have here in Minnesota but then that is usually only in January when it is -25F outside but other than that I don't.

Considering that Julian really dislikes Hillary for suggesting that he be droned I thought that much was obvious.

Well there is always Navit which gets its data from Open Street Map. It runs on Android and other OSes but is lacking in the search functionality.

Better add 3.2 beer, coffee, and smokes to that list as well. Those were by far the largest share of inside sales when I worked at a gas station.
