We are the parents of teenagers, in your classic hers, mine and ours household.
The wife's boys lived for a long time with a mom and grandparents who were enablers. As such, the kids did their stupid shit, and at every opportunity, the family did their best to make sure that no consequences fell upon their poor, poor, entitled child. Now we've got a teenager who has no idea the world has consequences and a 20-something with no job sponging off of grandparents and the father/ex-husband. My teenage daughter, on the other hand, wasn't allowed to get away with shit. She has an understanding of consequences in this world. All of the kids understand right and wrong, but the boys simply have no reason to fear the consequences.
I did plenty of stupid things as a kid too. I avoided the consequences until I was 20. Then reality came crashing in on me. I learned a lot of lessons way too late. I probably deserved to have had my nose broken by a cop or two along the way. Might have saved me learning a much harder lesson when I turned 20.
Places like Chicago -- where this is a real problem -- not on the news where we sensationalize about 1/500th of dead people, need to break the cycle of crime and lawlessness with education.
Actions have consequences is something people need to learn. "Didn't do nothing" comes from people who don't understand that the world has consequences for actions.
Point: Would a 15 year old kid who just stole a candy bar from a store, stopped by the police, but who panicked and ran, deserve a tasering?
Yes.
Fuck him, and fuck those who taught the kid that behavior. When you remove the electrodes and wave smelling salts under their nose, ask them where their parents are so they can get sent to the "you raised a thief" detention class that runs parallel to the shoplifter's community service.
I don't kowtow to police, but I'm respectful towards them. Amazingly I don't get shot at. Also, I don't rob convenience stores, and if I did, when confronted by the police, I wouldn't run, because that wasn't how I was taught.
Someone suggested a class educating people how to behave with police officers. There needs to be an education all right, but that education needs to be about being a good citizen.
These news cases are isolated. Chicago has roughly 1.2 murders per day. Which fixes that? Giving cops less lethal weapons, or breaking a cycle of shitty education?
I've always considered the show to be "blackface" for nerds.
The show has evolved over the years. While it used to be a compare and contrast of geeks versus normal people, it's now a show about relationships.
Leonard and Penny's benchmark "normal, but nerdy" relationship compared to Howard and Bernadette's cuckolding relationship, compared to Amy's needs with Sheldon, and finally to Raj's struggle to find a keep a girlfriend.
It used to be geeks v. world. Now it's geeks v. geeks. It's why Raj talks to women now, and why we rarely see them interact with "normies" except to setup a problem that each couple treats differently -- or that the boys treat differently than the vastly-more-normal girls.
[For what it's worth, I never found it be nerd blackface. We both laughed at and with them...]
Test-taking is a skill, and most test-givers include clues (and even answers) in their tests. Some test-givers, of course, mean to give these clues; many are oblivious to it. If I remember some of the bigger lessons from my test-taking classes.
Multiple choice questions, for example (which is what this software uses) often have choices like:
Stamen Pistil Filament Pistol
While some test-givers might include the homophone pistol as a red herring, words like that are a clue that the answer isn't Stamen or Filament, but that you're expected to know how to spell "Pistil."
Similarly, if you read page-2 of a test, you might find more detailed questions regarding the pistil, questions that might spell out exact what that part of the flower does, solidifying the answer.
Numbers in the middle of ranges are more likely correct, as are exact numbers near general numbers (e.g. Water boils at a. 10, b. 100, c. 200, d. 212, e. 2000)
Long answers, when not absurd, are generally correct.
Middle answers, when not randomized by test software, are more likely to be true.
A pair of similar answers (see above, Piltil, Pistol) generally narrows you down to 50/50.
"Absolutes" in true-false questions are almost always false, and true is more common than false.
Continuity errors like using the wrong article (a/an) often narrow choices.
Some test-writers who don't randomize also don't repeat answers, or never repeat beyond a limit. Patterns may emerge after simple processes reveal some of the clues.

After practice in this test-taking class, we all took multiple choice exams on a variety of complex subjects and passed them.
Location submissions in Ingress have always required approval.
Similarly you could request locations be removed for a variety of reasons - generally because they were on private property, were out of reach to the general public, etc. Sadly, sour grapes and even more sour players were more often the cause. A portal at my place of business was removed ostensibly because the garden was for patient recovery and meditation. Site management never even knew the game existed, let alone that Ingress players were disrupting meditation in the garden. The real reason a portal at my place of business was removed was that the opposing team didn't like a cluster of portals that was in the lap of the opposition -- so they faked a complaint to get it removed.
The "goal" of Ingress is to get people outside and walking around and looking at the real world.
A lot of players use it trolling around in their cars to hit as many points as possible, but a lot of fat nerds like myself have walked around a lot of parks we might not have otherwise gotten off our fat asses for.
I'd have rather seen a historic site -- no matter the subject -- than a few graffiti mural-ed alleys I've wandered down here in Phoenix.
The problem is that the original recipe calls for a volume of chips, not a weight of chips. Your problem would exist in an entirely metric recipe if it called for milliliters of chocolate chips and the store only sold them in grams -- unless of course you knew the density of chocolate.
If the recipe calls for chocolate by weight in either system, your job gets easier.
No. It made nonsensical cards early into its learning process.
Later on it made cards like this:
Light of the Bild 2WW Creature - Spirit Flying Whenever Light of the Bild blocks, you may put a 1/1 green Angel creature token with flying onto the battlefield. 2/2
"Keyless" fob for car, on which is attached a 32gig PNY "key", a house key, and my mail key.
Every day I check myself for four things to leave the house or leave the office. Keys, wallet, phone, badge.
The wallet is a magnetic bill fold with cash (something I still prefer), a driver's license, a credit card, a debit card, and, since I'm a degenerate gambler, a "prestige" card for a major casino chain.
I could leave the mail key *somewhere* and the casino card in the car -- since they'll gladly get me replacements.
He had already been busted and slapped on the wrist:
Green had previously received a three-day suspension for accessing the system inappropriately. Other students also got in trouble at the time, he said. It was a well-known trick, Green said, because the password was easy to remember: a teacher's last name. He said he discovered it by watching the teacher type it in.
The only problem here is that he's being charged with a felony, because hacking laws on the books don't make a distinction between "petty" hacking and "grand" hacking. There's no shoplifting equivalent on the hacking books; it's all grand theft auto.
The teacher needs reprimanded by his IT department and his leadership (principal, union, whatever). The kid needs his wrist slapped, and and county attorney needs to decide not to file charges, charge him with some sort of misdemeanor mischief charge instead.

It wouldn't be too much repetition if you considered using the FOR command...
FOR %A IN (list) DO command [ parameters ]
Both scripts fail to make use of a simple FOR command.
FOR %A IN (list) DO command [ parameters ]
Until there's an app on both of these platforms, this is going to be an also-ran.
The binary itself (loaded from the WPBT) needs signed with and is inspected by Signtool.
In short then, the summary is wrong.
Windows, not Lenovo, installs software on Lenovo laptops, by requesting the software from compatible hardware.
Autocomplete knowing the names in my phone book sounds like a lot less correcting typos every time I include a name -- thanks Samsung!

I love Google's services. I use a nice, albeit older, Play Edition phone running 5.1
Hangouts and Google Voice is an unmitigated mess.
Group text to your GV number? Hope you enjoy 20 different 1:1 conversations in Hangouts -- if you even get the text.
Voicemail notifications magically disabled? Sure. Why not.
Why is that unread? Did it show up on my desktop, or in my Inbox, or in the app? I'm sure I read it ONE of those places.
They also have a concept of the 60 hour work week.
Or, you know, a little over half that, just like us.

Personal Blocklist, Chrome Plugin, from Google -- they "sort of" moved it.

No. It made nonsensical cards early into its learning process.
Later on it made cards like this:
Here in Arizona, gambling is illegal*.
*unless is meets one of a dozen criteria, many of which are easily obtainable.
Ownership of automatic weapons is the same.
Yeah, lots of women are skilled enough to be in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and non-women's UFC, but the man is keeping them down.
As soon as a woman can bat .330, she be the starting first basemen for the Yankees.
Until then...not so much.

Every time I see a cool space/science story, despite having been an adult for some time now, I still get an awesome sense of "wow" out of it.
Keep on exploring the mysteries of the universe guys.
I'm with you.

Every bit of major-market SciFi in the 70's was dystopia, from Planet of the Apes to Logan's Run to Soylent Green.
