I curse the bastard that invented it. My house and car have not been glitter free since the kids have been old enough to do "art". Yes, glitter is a global hazard and should be eradicated from existence, but as anyone with kids knows that is an impossible task.
Think of it as cover to prevent getting caught going to the strip club.
When I take out the pen, the cat is completely oblivious to what is going on until she sees the light on the floor. The dog, on the other hand, sees me take the pen out and gets excited. She understands "Light game. Yay.", and that the light comes from the pen. While the cat sees "Uuh, what's that dot? I have to get it."
Your specimen is just a dumb cat.
I have to be particularly careful not touch the laser pointer keychain when I don't want to use it to play. The sound sets the cat into play mode that is annoying if there isn't actual play. My cat clearly anticipates the dot appearing based on seeing or hearing (mostly hearing) the laser pointer.
We have seven cats. There is a wide range of intelligence among them. The social order is complex and the 'alpha' cat is actually physically the one of the smallest.
Male cats are usually larger than females; but females are usually the more aggressive and "alpha" in a group of cats. In every mixed gender cat-household I've known (including ours of 5 cats), it's always been a female cat that bosses all the others around. Our 20 year old 5.5lb female that is deaf, almost blind, and has arthritis and can barely walk still manages to instill fear into our 14lb Maine Coon female and 18lb Turkish Van male (and a 7lb male and a 6lb female shorthair).
She's tiny, but she's old and mean (to other cats... she loves people). Back when she was younger and went outside she used to chase dogs off our property.
This matches my observations.
Though, you should note that you are talking about a spayed/neutered situation that may be quite different with a colony of sexually functioning cats.
More to the point, since when in the fuck did we start predicting "periodic slowdowns in the Earth's rotation??" I smell unsubstantiated confusion, Guardian-style...
It's worded poorly.
The "periodic" part is the frequency at which they adjust the clocks to suit the Earth.
The Earth always has been, and always will be slowing it's rotation as long as it has a star to orbit and a moon orbiting it. Stuff happening on and inside the Earth can change the rate of rotation slowing.
I am skeptical that earthquakes have a periodic pattern tied to rotation, perhaps only as a secondary effect of geology changing (both earthquakes and rotation change due to tectonics.)
It seems like dust could cause a "bounce error" too.
Put something with some vertical size in the right place and the circuit could be closed twice, with the particle acting like the fulcrum on a seesaw.
Unless Apple completely redesigned how those keys work, there is a plastic/rubber key over a spring of some kind (sometimes a rubber nipple) which presses a membrane with conductive material on one axis "across" through a second membrane with holes, that line up with a third membrane with "down" axis conductive stripes. They are quite simple really.
Rocking the membrane over the dust particle could cause two actual contacts, maybe even slower than "bounce error" checking would account for.
Opening the case and applying proper canned air to the keyboard edge where the membranes might be exposed could very well fix the problem.
Apparently you're not a student of history. Prison colonies have been done before, and magically, the problem has not been solved. Any more brilliant ideas, Sherlock?
What problem are you thinking they tried to solve?
An island is a very cost-effective method of incarceration. And it suits the primary goal of a prison: keep that idiot away from everybody else.
Unless you think the goal was "eugenically breed out criminal genes from the population" then your statement is completely stupid.
We don't use them because the islands are more valuable now, and the ideas about caring for prisoners have changed from what they were.
SD seems to have lost data. The user interface here looks like it did while they were still futzing with it after the purchase. They lost front end HTML and CSS / Script files it seems like.
It's time to make it illegal to use Social Security numbers for any purpose other than government usage. The release of SSNs is the real Equifax damage here. There is no need for colleges, banks or hospitals to be using it. Colleges, banks and hospitals managed to function before SSNs came into existence; they can do so again.
There's nothing wrong with using the SSN to track who people are, that plus DOB avoids name collisions in data and lets everybody figure out who they are dealing with for sure. Which is a good thing.
There is A LOT wrong with using the SSN like a password that has to be secret to be useful. Unfortunately there isn't a substitute for it at this time.
We don't know who has the data yet. The OPM hack was probably chinese mob or chinese gov (like they are different) and "wreck some guy's credit by opening credit cards" wasn't the goal. (Strategic military and espionage was the goal.)
If something similar happened with Equifax, then the data will never come out and instead will be used against a certain select few people.
On the other hand, if it shows up on bittorrent or something, we'll get a fix to the SSN=password fuckup a lot faster.
I don't care much. My shit is already out there and I already get free monitoring from the Feds over the OPM hack. I check it once a week.
If we've got bacteria that can shield cells from the effects of chemotherapy, then that could potentially be very useful. If we can get it to do the same thing for the rest of the body in a relatively benign way, then it might greatly improve outcomes for chemo patients.
Pre-infect kidneys and liver with the bacteria beforehand and help prevent the chemo from causing other problems, or allow for higher dosages.
Video works if what is spoken is also available as text. Either on the sidebar with timecode (which I'd prefer) or at least as subtitles. That way you can fast forward through the video to get to the part that interests you.
Anyone not providing either needn't apply.
There are a whole army of ADA Compliance lawyers out there eagerly awaiting for the organization that tries to put out video without exact description and dialogue in text as well.
I am not at all worried about "videoonlyclpyse" happening.
Well, except that encrypting everything uses up an IP address for every stinking little site out there, when hundreds of HTTP-only sites work just fine on one.
Blocks of IP addresses are going for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars now. There isn't room in IP space for every domain name to have SSL on it.
It is possible there is evidence that won't be released. Military / intelligence assets that saw it before, or parts of it after it crashed. Or maybe sonar or something.
The people's lives and knowing what happened to the plane aren't worth revealing the capabilities so nothing will be released.
And they don't provide 5th Amendment protection. Biometrics is "who" you are. Not "what you know". You can be forced to put your finger on something by a court and a couple of goons, but the court will be violating constitutional rights by forcing you to testify against yourself.
Are we talking about web sites that use type="text" rather than type="password"? If so, then no, never ever ever is that appropriate for a password of any kind.
If we're talking about the UI of an app (either the browser or otherwise) giving the user an option for whether or not to mask, then that's a different discussion.
Now this makes me wonder if I could change the style properties of HTML locally in my browser to turn off the masking on type="password".

Take a ruler and look in a mirror. Or get your SO to measure it.
Amazon sells little plastic tools that are basically a specialized ruler for this measurement for around $12.
Then put a thumper somewhere outside the building...
Just work fast and vary your steps or the sand worms will git ya.

You couldn't kill online advertising if you nuked it from orbit.
It's already dead.
I killed it with a HOSTS file.

What makes you think they didn't sell it to whoever wanted to have the information?
Or, just guessed it.
If you tail spam blocker logs a few times, you figure out they are brute-forcing email addresses too.

You are taking their word for when the breach started? LOLOLO ahaha ahaqhaa !! Aren't you cute.
On the other hand, if you have to flee an emergency that isn't quite so highly publicized, anyone with an EV will be on their own.
Sitting in traffic with an EV is probably MUCH more efficient than sitting in traffic with an IC powered vehicle.
EV will have an entirely different set of problems of course, lack of power grid being the major one.

For those of you unfamiliar with leftists rhetoric, anyone right of Stalin is a xenophobic Nazi racist literally Hitler sub-human jew.
This is an unfortunate, but also accurate summary of politics in the EU.
Show me a continuous, buildable line between those three cities...
It's under ground - no need to have a right of way in the conventional above-ground manner.
I can't imagine any actual civic leader giving a "verbal" green light to a project and having it mean ANYTHING.
No problem! They are just going deep enough that they have two city officials in China who have approved* it!
* as long as the bribes keep coming.
Or so they say
In practice, people who didn't know how to quit apps had shitty battery life... which stopped when they started closing apps.
Maybe newer iOS versions are better, however it has been very obvious through experimentation that closing apps helps performance.
launch phase is best (easy), apex of parabola (med), then it progressively worse, not including decoys
Launch phase has the added benefit of dropping the payload back on the launching country or ship.
So there is the "point and laugh" factor along with the missile defense.
