Looking at the youth unemployment figures for the USA (17.6%) and that of for instance the Netherlands (6.6%), you seem to be mistaken.
Cherry picking one small country out of Western Europe is misleading.
From wolframalpha:
US - 17.6%
France - 22.6%
Spain - 37.9%
Belgium - 21.9%
Italy - 25.4%
Poland - 20.7% (was WAY higher ~2002 - ~42%)
England - 18.9%
Pretend to be a decoration, {move|jump|scare} at people that happen by (note: may get punched in the face).
I did that a couple of times. Got a glass of water in the face once. And still did not flinch. Until she came back to see if I was really just a decoration...THEN I jumped and scared the crap out of her.
Braking or pressing the cancel button will not work
Second PSA:
BRAKING ALWAYS WORKS. With the exception of some ultrapowerful cars like the Veyron, there is an order of magnitude difference between the maximum torque your brakes can generate, and the maximum torque your engine can.
I think they are referring to the standard practice of pressing the brake to automatically disengage the cruise control. Apparently, that does not work in this case.
Yes, the original poster isn't quite right, but you are ignoring the fact that EVs are basically designed to be topped off every night instead of only filled when it gets near empty, as is typically done with gas cars. GP should have said that you can charge it from empty overnight on household power (240V/35A).
One word: Garage.
Unless you have an enclosed garage which is not filled with bikes/lawnmowers/detritus, you have nowhere to charge it. Electric cars are perfect for city dwellers. But frequently city dwellers are also apartment dwellers. Until the parking lot at work, or the apt complex garage has plug in stations, the perfect market will be locked out. Even my semi-suburban house has no garage...I have a carport.
The other alternative is swappable battery packs, but we haven't seen those in the wild yet. Close, but not quite yet.
If you really, really want to vanish from society, learn how to live off the land and drop your whole life
Maybe find a job in a random diner or bar, typically somewhere in the remote parts of town where you get cash by hand.
Go even farther than that. See the movie 'Missing in America' Off the grid indeed.
An exercise is when you pretend something is happening and react according to instruction/protocol.
Jamming the signal from the satellites is a completely viable situation. 'Train how you fight' is a core concept. And it would prevent any faking among line troops.
Why do we need an exercise to jam our own satellites?
One of the first precepts in defense is knowing what vulnerabilities your systems have. "How do we operate without freely available GPS?" would be one of those.
I have a bigger question....who cares? Have anybody seen the latest tests between the F15,F16,F18,F22,F35, and the Russian MiG29, MiG31, and the Su series? Hint: We just got our asses kicked pal!
A link to these tests and the results would be nice.
Anyway, TFA says that 4.9 million people were affected, but also that the tape contained health records from facilities in the San Antonio, Texas region for a 19-year period. 4.9 million people seems like a really large number for the service catchment area of one city, even if it has several primary military care facilities and a large semi-transient military population. Maybe if they include the induction medical records of Air Force recruits at Basic Training at Lackland AFB, for instance.
That's only 250k/year. And this includes pretty much every aerospace medical officer (Brooks), all Air Force basic trainees (Lackland), most pilots and navs (Randolph), the Army Medical School (Ft Sam Houston), and all retirees and family members. 70,000 annually graduate from Lackland school alone.
Guns aren't autonomous. Drones are programmed to be. Just because it's not aware of its actions, that doesn't mean it wasn't the drone doing the killing.
Um, you do realize that our current crop of armed 'drones', the Predator and Reaper, are not autonomous vehicles, but merely remotely piloted. The only difference between them and any current fighter or bomber is that the pilot sits elsewhere. To be sure, that is a major difference, but they are not autonomous. Some guy still has to drive it and push the missile fire button.
Storing them, no problem. Space is always getting cheaper. Retrieving and viewing, now there's the rub. For local storage, a MFM HD from 20 years ago, labeled with 'Grandads Pics', would take considerable effort to read into a current PC. MFM to RLL to IDE to SATA to X to Y to Z is the maintenance I was speaking of. Whereas a photo album is instantly viewable.
Put the stuff in the cloud, and let AmaGoogle figure out and handle the ongoing format and interface changes. (Until they change their TOS, and all your pics are belong to them.)
(no, not for video) But a couple of years ago, I was cleaning out my parents house in preparation to sell. And came across old family photo albums from the twenties and thirties. Easy to browse through, and trivial to store.
I don't expect my current thousands of digital pics to be readable in 80 years without siginificant and ongoing work.
Bag of regular popcorn. Medium size pot, with lid Oil, or I prefer bacon grease
Put it on the stove, on just above medium * Put a thin layer of oil in the bottom Put two and only two kernals in it. When the first one pops, turn the heat down a little * Put in one and only one layer of kernals on the bottom Put the lid on the pot When it is 2 seconds between pops, it is done. During popping, you may give the pot one and only one shake.
But if I don't care which of the several dozen Starbucks between here and there it is (I just want to minimize the necessary detour), waypoints aren't any help.
Magellan already does that. As I'm driving, I decide I want to stop at the nearest [whatever]. POI, punch in [whatever], click 'Go There Now'. It shows the route, and reroutes to the original destination after the stop. Problem solved.
Now...if you want to quibble about exactly which Starbucks brings the least detour from the total route, it is probably the one in between your house and the freeway.
Of course, that's probably not the one you want. You want one when you are ready to have one. And TomTom/Magellan/Google does not know when you are ready (but they're working on it).
... which would be unprofessional and probably reckless behaviour on behalf of the astronauts. One can understand the emotional reasons, but the huge efforts made for their safety would be in vain if they are not honest about their capabilities.
This is pretty normal among regular air force and navy aircrew.
If you have to go see the flight surgeon, there are two outcomes. 1. remain on flight status, or 2. get removed from flight status. There is no 'up'. Hell...one of the Shuttle crew had Parkinsons when he went up for the last time.
This is similar to the car warranty call scams of a couple of years ago. "Hello, your car warranty is about to expire, blah blah blah." The scammers do not care that you are on whatever DNC registry exists in your country. They call anyway, using false phone numbers. And call multiple times a week.
I used to make a game of it, seeing how long I could keep them on the line. My best was 30 minutes, ending with "You do realize that the only reason I am talking to you is to keep you from bothering some other person at dinnertime, and that you will never, ever get a dime out of me."
I remember reading a PC Magazine review back in early 87 or so, talking about the recently released Intel 386 processor.
(paraphrasing) "No one needs that kind of speed at home. This is strictly for business servers."

Say you are an enterprise with 16,000 employees, less than 10% of those will be able to send a single email each nay.
That may be a good thing. We really don't need an entire email trail about Stephanie's promotion party at Olive Garden, or Jim's fundraiser.
Maybe 10% of my daily emails have to do with actual work.
Because only USAians deserve jobs, remember.
If it's with my USA money, then yes.

Off the grid indeed.
We could probably afford it if we strip the top 1% wealth from their assets.
This is why we need a "-1 Dumbass".
It would be heavily abused, of course. But it certainly applies to the above AC.

If a ten year old hasn't yet figured out how to not swallow and choke on a toy, maybe they don't need to be around anymore.

Check the lower right monitor, it's XP.
Which is not the system that is actually running the Predator. Some aux info system, probably. But not actually flying the aircraft.
Governments always claim there's 'no intention of doing so' until the day they do it.
More accurately, 'until the day after they get caught doing it'.

AOL didn't exist in 1990.
The predecessor, Q-Link, did (1985). Q-Link then morphed into AOL in early 1991.

But it doesn't necessarily benefit both parties.
You're forgetting the 3rd party, the carrier. In their eyes, the other two parties do not count except as a revenue source.
