You could also write the passwords backward, or shifted by one character. The former may still be guessable (particularly if any part of your password looks like a real word or date) and the latter may be tough to remember. I kind of like putting in a dummy first and last character and just remembering to drop them.
I really have to wonder if we could solve a whole bunch of mostly pointless linguistic bickering if the movement would simply change its name to "Black Lives Matter Too". That seems like a tiny bit of rebranding work that could solve a whole lot of problems.
I was surprised to see this statistic, particularly given the "college isn't for everybody" meme that crops up here a lot. I figured degree rates would have been over 50%. I did a little digging, and it looks like your number isn't quite right, though it's still pretty close.
22% of Americans have a Bachelor's or higher, meaning 68% have less. I think that's probably where your statistic comes from.
However, if you include Associate's degrees, which certainly count as "college" in my book, then 40% of Americans have that, and 60% do not have any college-level degree.
Your point that Trump at 46% is higher than average still stands, though it's only slightly so rather than dramatically so. I'd be curious what the percentages for other candidates are, because one alone isn't particularly informative. Maybe there are polling imbalances skewing the results. I'd want to see what percentage of Hillary, Bernie, or Cruz supporters have college degrees, based on the same polls. (I'd expect Bernie to be lower, because he's more appealing to young folks, many of whom may be in college but haven't graduated yet.)
Absolutely, some of the older stuff sticks with you forever. On the other hand, looking at my CD collection mostly amassed during the 90's, I'd say half or more could have been a rental. Having both options available is probably better than having only one choice.
I've got you beat. I've only heard of two. Though I might have accidentally seen Taylor Swift before a movie once. Unless that was some other blonde. Wait, why do I think Taylor Swift is a blonde? How would I know that? Regardless, I think I'm still out-old-fogeying you, a little.
More on topic, I do like streaming services, mostly to plug in bands I already like and then discover ones I didn't know. Usually I'm discovering songs that aren't "new" -- often they're a decade or more old -- but they're new to me. Thus far I've stuck with free ones, because I really don't feel the need to pay to get recommendations.
Yeah, I got roped into Steam when I bought Civ V, which comes with a disc, but the disc just installs the Steam client.
I was still pretty happy with it until a bug prevented Steam games from launching and tech support took 6 weeks to fail to give me an answer. I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled to fix it myself, and do still use them occasionally if the sale is too good to pass up or they're the only convenient way to find what I want. If I can go GOG instead, I prefer them: often better prices, no agent that has to run all the time, no constant updates, no issues with authorization when I change computers, and fewer tech support issues.
For whatever reason, tall chairs tend to make my back hurt. Something about my feet not being able to be on the ground or in different positions, I guess? I know tall chairs have support bars, but they never seem to be in the right place or allow enough variety of positions.
The internet might change that some. The nearest zoo is about 4 hours from me, but my kids have seen lots of books, and I've also looked up youtube animal videos to share with them on multiple occasions. While it may not be the same as seeing the animals in person, it's not entirely negative in tradeoffs -- at a real zoo sometimes the animals aren't doing anything interesting, or they're hiding, or they're completely out of the display for some reason, while the video is reliable and on demand.
It's not obstruction of justice when what the justice is asking for is illegal.
"Illegal Justice" is a title just begging for a movie to be made of it. Grade B, lots of fists, bar fights and broken glass every fifteen minutes on the dot.
Do any of those mods allow you to ever complete an item set? I'm pretty sure that I never once successfully completed one in all my runs through the game. Years later I read a bit suggesting wonky math made several of them nearly impossible, and it left me feeling like I should just set the game box on fire. Pretty sure that's the last time I bothered trying to play, too.
I kept putting off buying Warcraft (the original, not "World of") because the battlechests were always in stores, and always $30 or maybe $20. I've been saying to myself that surely it'd end up in a $5 or $10 discount bin at some point, but fifteen years later I'm finally concluding that I may have been mistaken about that one.
Thanks. You're new here; I should give you some slack. But I've been a copy editor, so I can't give anyone slack. Paradox? Regardless, that's an informative edit, and helps quite a bit. Nice to see the new folks listening.
as long as his VP isn't one of the existing or former GOP candidates. It couldn't be any worse than any of the other current GOP candidates, or Hillary.
I figure Trump's going to go with someone who's more of a personality than a career politician. To balance Trump's business history, I think he'd lean for someone with a bit more wholesome appeal. Maybe a well-respected star athlete, like a former olympic champion, for instance. He might also lean for a female running mate, to counteract voters who go for Hillary based on gender alone. Put all that together, and I figure his ideal choice is Caitlyn Jenner.
Okay, that made me laugh. That's a pretty good one.
I once found a password stickied to the monitor of a dean of a major state university. The thing is, the password was the dean's initials and year of birth, so I'm not really sure why he needed it to be stickied there. Possibly it was for the rest of the staff to get in and do things for him when necessary, but it still made me roll my eyes.
My office at least offers us a perk: give 12 hours of income and get 1 day of vacation. Technically that's still a net loss, but I've always felt that the vacation day is worth more than the literal cash. The apparent percent of donations that go through United Way and actually make it to people in need also makes me a little uneasy, but it's the only deal the office offers.
This is one of my biggest beefs about Win 10. They took roughly half of the stuff that used to be nicely consolidated in the control panel and spread it around a set of new interfaces, while leaving the other half back in the control panel. I have to go to two or three places to find things. Definitely a case of fixing what wasn't broken.

I kind of like putting in a dummy first and last character and just remembering to drop them.
More realistic scenarios, for people who need their password checked:
If your password is bob, send over mom and see what it says.
If your password is 1234, send over 5678. (Honestly, 5678 is a million times more secure than 1234, but it's still the same ballpark.)
If your password is Snuggie7, send over Cuddly9.
If your password is your current pet's name, send over your previous pet's name.
If your password is your kid's name, send over the name of a niece or nephew.
If your password is your spouse's name, if you were divorced you can use your ex. Otherwise, use your own.
If your password is more complicated than that, certainly by the time you get to "+cvcy9oTt", you don't need a checker to verify it.
Where there's one, there's two.
So, kids are like the Sith? Actually, that sounds about right.
In the last 20 years, crime rates in America have dropped dramatically, yet the FBI budget has doubled.
Does that include inflation? You'd expect a budget to double in 20 years, from inflation alone.
I realize you also said crime rates were dropping, which would suggest it ought to shrink instead of stay steady. Just musing out loud, mostly.

It's a hundred D-batteries. Duh!
Well, that covers the 100D, but you left the P out. Given your sig, I don't think I want to know what that stands for.
Thanks. You're new here; I should give you some slack. But I've been a copy editor, so I can't give anyone slack. Paradox? Regardless, that's an informative edit, and helps quite a bit. Nice to see the new folks listening.
Okay, that makes more sense. Firmware already released to a car is essentially public. I guess I missed that, and was thinking it was private data.
1. Are you actually white hat if you're spilling secrets that aren't yours to tell?
2. What the heck is a P100D? Couldn't that be squeezed somewhere in the paragraph?
I've more or less missed Futurama, let alone any references. I never got past "It's not the Simpsons." (Speaking of, nice handle, by the way.)

That's handy, until your your password changes with inflation.

I put a video game character named Hunter2 into one of my novels because of that piece.
