The use of burner phones and supplied credit cards simply seems to be an anti-detection tactic.
The documents posted on TheVerge seem to boil down to, "Book a ride on Lyft, and use that ride as an opportunity to preach switching to Uber while you have a captive audience."
The documents posted only mention having to cancel if you get the same driver responding to you after you've attempted to proselytize them already -- and suggest you should use Uber to move about town so that happens infrequently.
Doesn't seem much worse than giving a Jehovah's Witness a ride.:/
The transcript reads like a conversation between two guys with almost nothing to say. I'm honestly not sure what my takeaway from this should have been. Guy was a working programmer for 30 years (unemployed for the last 12+), and now he's......a guy making small-talk in a video?
How hard is it to check these things instead of cherry-picking your responses? It's been on many/most of their credit cards for over a year.
Bank of America today announced that it is rolling out chip technology on many of its consumer credit cards. The new chip technology will increase acceptance and security of the cards for international travelers.
Most of BofA's credit offerings have Chip & Pin available already. It just hasn't made it to their standard debit card yet.
No, the real crime is that you can't figure out that sentencing for crimes works by a judge weighing all the factors in a case.
I know this was in the UK, but follow along...
In my state, a Class 6 Felony (the lowest possible, and one which can be expunged by merely staying out of trouble) has a maximum sentence of either.33 years,.5 years, 1 year, 1.5 years or 2 years depending on if it's your first time, if it was a violent crime, etc. etc. The presumptive sentence is a year. If there are ZERO mitigating factors, one way or the other. If your lawyer or the state's lawyer enter a plea and then stand there silently, you get the presumptive sentence.
Despite the minimum sentence of.33 years (4 months), as a kid, I plead guilty to a Class 6 felony here, and I served 2 weeks on work release. Not only were their legally mitigating factors to move me to the.33 year maximum (first offense, non-violent), the judge then had the latitude to impose a sentence as short as 14 days -- but not longer than.33 years.
Lets get back to the guy who got 33 months "just" for filming a movie.
Upon conviction in the magistrates court the maximum term of incarceration in the UK for copyright infringement is 6 months and/or a "level five" fine of £5,000.
Upon conviction in the Crown court the maximum term of incarceration in the UK for physical copyright infringement is 10 years and/or an "unlimited" fine.
The judge there says, well, you're up for "just" filming a movie -- lets review any mitigating factors. Oh? After filming the movie, you uploaded it, and the torrent from your specific cam was downloaded 700,000 times? And you also burned copies and sold them on the street? In that case, you're going to find yourself at the top of the scale instead of the bottom, and you're going to do 33 months.
In exactly the same way I did 14 days instead of 2 years, this guy did 33 months because he "just" filmed a movie.
Takes longer to do a full charge on a Leaf at a L3 charger.
As the minutes passed, the charging slowed. By the 10-minute mark, it was adding two miles of range every minute instead of three. After about 20 minutes, it was adding one mile per minute most of the time. After 30 minutes and a predicted range of 79 miles, the session ended. The battery-level meter showed eight bars out of 12. This being a 67% state of charge, we clearly hadn't reached our goal.
You could get 80 miles on 67% charge, but only if you drove over flat land at 25mph.
The argument here is that denying efficient travel subverts freedom of assembly as well as the right to (effectively) petition my government for redress of grievances.
If anyone is letting the rules stop a DM from saving a player from death, or avoiding putting the character directly into peril necessary to the story, then the DM is doing it wrong.
I'm not fond of the length of time that the DJ's talk either. At most, "Thanks was X by Y, and he'll be in New York on Tuesday. Now here's Z." At most. They tend to prattle on.:/
I simply wanted to counter the argument that the poster above made that "ad free music" had gone away on XM/Sirius. It hasn't.
FWIW, most of the channels I listen to are long-form talk, and most of the commercials are large blocks at the ends of the hours....and yes, they're all lowest-common-denominator sort of ads, but that's what you're going to get on the format.
The MCSO provides jail services for Metro Phoenix as a whole, but the MSCO only directly polices unincorporated areas of town. Phoenix and all of its major suburbs have their own police. Crime in Phoenix (as a whole) is way, way down.
Since 2008, violent crime rates have remained at roughly the same level in Maricopa County, while dropping by over 10 percent in similarly situated jurisdictions.
In the last decade, the "heart" of Phoenix has gotten vastly safer, and the bad parts of Phoenix - unincorporated areas served by the MCSO (again, as someone who lives here) has gone to hell. I don't have to lock my doors in my neighborhood, but I wouldn't wander after dark in some MCSO served neighborhoods. [There are bad neighborhoods served by Phoenix PD too, but MCSO has it bad.]
In short, MCSO's crime rate is about the neighborhoods they serve, not them being ineffective.
You mean the roughly 1 conviction per year since 2008 that didn't include pointing a laser directly at police?!?
Just like the example of enforcement I suggested of someone getting in trouble for using a copter to film our Sheriff or likely-future Attorney General instead of buzzing your neighbor's house?

And, as established previously, you're a dick....since we've gone from 0 to name-calling in 1 post.
This law, like a lasers-at-airplanes law, won't be enforced by a bunch of police running around with binoculars. It won't be actively enforced by anyone at all. It'll stop a few people from spying on their neighbors (by increasing awareness), but won't otherwise do much except remind people that, like shining a light at planes, spying on your neighbors is bad. A few people will be caught after-the-fact and they'll throw this silly charge at them -- which will be pointless since there are already other things to charge them with.
Arizona law doesn't afford that. It simply has maximum fines and imprisonment terms for each class of felony or misdemeanor, and then it's up to the court.
While my example was to illustrate my point about the expectation of privacy, you're not allowed to surreptitiously film nude people, or people using the restroom in Arizona already.
Correct. As stated, those are simply the misdemeanor-1 maximums in Arizona, and as such, the actual punishment could be anywhere in the range of 0-180 days, or 0-2500 dollars. [Plus court costs.]
This is simply based on AZ misdemeanor sentencing maximums.
ARS 13-707 says that a Class 1 Misdemeanor (the highest class before a felony) has a maximum sentence of six months. 13-802 has the maximum fine: $2500. What the actual possible sentence for this particular crime would be is entirely different. [Also, it's unlikely that someone guilty of a this crime, unless the AG's office wanted to make an example of someone, wouldn't plead guilty to a lesser charge, which happens, like, always.]
It's worth noting that court costs can add nearly $1000 to small things. I think the going rate is $800 or so now in surcharges, depending on what municipality and court you happen to be in.
Regardless, 6mo/$2500 is just the maximum limit on a Misdemeanor-1 in AZ.

"Great for America" arguments aside, the list of states with the lowest literacy seems highly influenced by immigration.
Regardless, your state, as a whole, is 46th in literacy.
I'm sure if you take the poorest people out of the Mississippi numbers, their rank would rise too.
True.
Back in '92, Mississippi was at the absolute bottom 50 of 50 in basic prose literacy. [Sates with high immigration have since pushed them up to #42..]
In '92, Mass was in the middle of the pack, at about half as many illiterate residents.
http://nces.ed.gov/naal/estima...
Mississippi, 42nd in literacy!
Take that, Nevada, New Mexico, Georgia, New Jersey, Texas, Florida, New York, and California!
[Immigrants aside, apparently, it's "Take that, Georgia!']

Ah, yes, but what happens if I teleport my ship, the Theseus?
That's like a 16% improvement over the quarter I flip...
The movie where they drift off into space, never encounter another object, and slowly die wasn't as interesting...

Other than the rebroadcasted major market channels KIIS and Z100 on channels 11 and 12, what music channels are playing commercials?
Channel 76 and below (except 11/12) are all still commercial free. I can't speak for 77-79 (kids), and some of the 140+ Latino channels, but...
What music channels, exactly, are playing commercials on XM?
You're seriously so dense as to think that there aren't countless business apps that need depend on multiple required versions of Java?
Most notable here, the QA system for the phone system (agent screening, auditing) - new and old, on incompatible versions
You think Windows desktop staff just install Java for the fun of it?
I forgot to mention another gap in logic here...

Misleading, at best.
The MSCO serves, in short, pretty shitty parts of the Phoenix metro area.
The USDOJ report condemning the MCSO is a good read on background information.

Surreptitious photographing, videotaping, filming or digitally recording or viewing is already illegal in Arizona, by the way, and is already up to a Felony-4.
So, drones, schmones.
