In the rare case where I have a physical check to deposit, I just mail it in. I've been banking primarily by mail for years - as long as your paycheck is direct deposit, it's not really a problem.
I set a password on my phone, though I'm not sure it was a good idea. If I lose my phone I just need to change my Google password, as nothing else there will be of value to anyone. Didn't bother with a password for my last phone.
Anyone who installs stuff like banking apps on his phone is asking for it, really. Phones are fundamentally insecure devices (and the more apps you install, the less secure they are). Trusting them for access to something of real value seems foolish to me.
Hard work is generally rewarded over slacking (again, ignoring all other factors), therefore it's all a big happy meritocracy, yaaaay!
Nice attack on a position I never took. Do you understand the concept of a strategy? Of a life strategy? Hard work is a better life strategy than whining. When comparing those two strategies, outcomes strongly favor hard work.
Yet, within any given background and level of education, those who work hard do better than those who make excuses. Further, to make a change-in-kind to your earning potential, though education or training while also supporting yourself, pretty much requires busting your ass. It's not guaranteed, but that's life.
I don't know what the "safety doors" are, but it sounds like they were intended to block the cross-location reach and failed to do so. So something important failed: the safety door didn't do it's job, or that wasn't its job and the safety training was very wrong, or she missed a lock-out that she was trained to do. No way to tell, but she was experienced so I doubt it's the last.
It wasn't the robot she was working on that killed her. A robot from a different area, supposed to be prevented from entering her area by normal safety devices, entered her area and killed her. Messed up situation all around.
There is nothing less credible in the modern world than a journalist claiming anonymous sources. Oh, I can totally believe there's some petty domestic spying that goes on, of the "spy on your girlfriend" sort, maybe even a group trying to take down a president, as happened to Nixon, but spying beyond such abuse by individual agents? I assume the CIA has enough work to keep it busy abroad.
There is a strong relation, both correlative and causative, between "busting your ass" and "success". Whining that "it's not guaranteed" is just excuse-making. Hard work and perseverance is a far better life strategy than whining.
We all have to roll the dice, every day, it's on you to get all the bonuses you can to that die roll.
Simple math problem for you: if a company has $10 B in earnings, how much is a CEO worth if he improves that by 1%?
Another way of looking at it: don't be that guy who says "I don't understand what he does, so it must be easy". If you've ever worked for a bad CEO, you know just how quickly one can destroy any company, no matter how good everyone else is. A CEO who simply "won't ruin a good thing" can be worth a Hell of a lot to a large corporation. A CEO who could actually save a failing corporation? Quite valuable.
Only at the CEO level is failure so richly showered in money.
Most CEOs don't have such golden parachutes. It's the incentive you have to offer someone to become captain of the Titanic after it has already hit the iceberg. If you weren't willing to pay even if the ship sinks anyway, you'd really be limiting your talent pool.
Of course, paying well is merely a necessary, not sufficient, step in obtaining top talent, as we've seen illustrated here.
Came here to say this. The CIA seems like its actually doing its job. "Shocking" would be spying on US citizens on US soil, NSA-style; otherwise, carry on!
Going off the grid always sounds so complete and final, but couldn't they set up _some_ amount of solar panels that pump into raised storage tanks during the day, then irrigate with that water during the night? Seems like any power saved is good for the wallet (and, vs. diesel, good for the planet).
Because "raised storage tanks" are far more expensive than diesel generators?

Yup, even the biggest military subs are "boats". Makes exactly as much sense as any other naval terminology.
Shit, man, if Hog keeps talking about you like that I'll have to unfoe you. Wait, who are you and what have you done with serviscope.
Submarines are boats. The ship should have been named Shippy McShitface in the first place.

And didn't you? I know I did. Thanks goodness for the advent of the Commodore 64.

So you hate wikileaks because ... it revealed your guy was dirty?
Stop rooting for your favorite team, and start rooting for a less corrupt government.

Which is why a candy bar or some cookies is a better soul acquisition strategy.
Most people will sell their soul for a candy bar or nice homemade cookies. I've seen the experiment performed.
Intelligence is the demonstrated ability to solve problems. If you're not solving problems, you're either unable to solve them, or unable to see them.
You're off by a couple orders of magnitude, and you're imagining convenient elevation.
What if you don't have any problems?
Look harder. Lots of problems in the world - lots of mysteries too.
Because it is rather difficult to completly crash a whole plane in a single moment,
Funny, I was under the impression that's what always happens when plane meets ground energetically. Lithobraking is rather abrupt that way.
Elevated storage tanks aren't free. Perhaps you underestimate the amount of water involved.
