I plan to stop drawing water from my well, once it runs dry.
I have a suspicion that the "voluntary donor program" means "we're going to shoot you anyway, but we won't charge your family for the bullet if you volunteer to let us harvest your organs."
You're adjusting for the type of work being performed. ("$20/hr is good money, for what I'm doing.")
I am not.
If we assume that $50,000/yr in 1986 is good money (as the song says, that will buy a lot of beer), and adjust for inflation, that's $53/hr (I use a 2000 hour work-year, which gives a lousy 2 weeks of vacation, but simplifies the arithmetic).
The electronic locks around here are powered by battery as well as mains.
After the 12 hours (or so) of battery wears out, it depends on the lock type - the electric strike locks are fail-closed (bypassable by mechanical key), the magnetic locks are fail-open.
The Primus keys are what's known as a "patented keyway".
The general idea is that Schlage is the only company that's (supposed) to be allowed to sell the blanks, and they only sell them to locksmiths that agree to play by their rules (like promising only to make dupes for authorized people).
The duplication of these keys is not newly possible - but it's a new simplification.
I've heard the common cause of that failure is a degraded power supply... the wall warts apparently stop putting out enough current at rated voltage, and the RF range drops to almost nothing.
The "Legislator" tag that says "33", vs the "Collector" tag that says "33", vs the "Vanity" tag that says "33", vs the "Municipal" tag that says "33"...
What seems to make the most sense to me is to split each page into two sections: the human readable, and a barcode (like QR). Both should carry the same data.
Use physical security, rather than encryption. Trying to decrypt it later may just piss you off a lot; storing it in a tamper-evident sealed envelope will give you almost the same peace of mind (possibly more).
I'm not doing either; I keep an encrypted copy in an online place.
If printing it out and scanning it back in was really a good idea, it would have caught on back in the '80s. (Sadly, I do not remember the name of the device... but some computer magazines offered their programs in a scannable format, encouraging you to buy the expensive device to read them in rather than type them in.)
I commend you on your best practices, but think very carefully if you ever want a machine you open such a PDF on to be connected to any network. You really might be better off dumping the link to wget, burning a CD, and physically carrying it over to an "assumed compromised" host.

Able to play Farmville with sound via wifi.
That's the baseline for most people these days.
Could you give that in manhattans^(1/2) per dog year, too?
On a scale of one to tipsy, I'd say it's right between ocelot feathers and 7!.

$10/hr isn't a high-paying job, either.
$20/hr ... So much for that high paying job.
$20/hr is not a high-paying job anymore, (unless you're comparing it to stocking shelves at the discount store, which you shouldn't).
More importantly: If you committed suicide, you're dead (otherwise it would be attempted suicide). How are they going to punish you after your death?
Apparently, they cancel your webhosting service.

New wall wart often fixes it.
I expect they're different plate types.

Not really.
netcat is also often missing from new Windows machines.
I was, of course, thinking of the Cauzin Softstrip.

A punch card is good for what, 80 10 bit characters, plus a little out-of-band signal?
Using the same 7x3" (and change...) area to hold 14 200dpi QR codes can store about 25k 8 bit characters of data, with error correction.
It can also use a now-ubiquitous digital camera or many office copiers as an input device.
This, but instead of "overlay", do some real steganography.
Perhaps the submitter is in a country where there are no Google datacenters.
It's pretty common in education to put your name on your homework.
It would be trivial for a big data analyst to figure out which alias is which student.
The poster is not in the US. ... He didn't say which non-US location he was in

SEO is a business term, not a technical term. It's more relevant if you're in marketing than in devops.

Yes. When in doubt, airgap.
Not if you did it in a VM running a LiveCD...
... and are the systems running as expected?
I've also never intentionally reduced anyone to tears...
With a little effort, you'll get there. Not to worry.
