    Yep. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th amendment violations.

    3rd: specified here
    4th: Beaten to death. .GOV needs a warrant
    5th: Obvious

    The sun is a dry heat, so it's much more tolerable than Florida.

  11. No dice. Information still cannot be transmitted over the FTL channel.

  12. Meh. I learned to type on an ancient manual typewriter. Even after 35 years on CRT terminals and PC keyboards, I *STILL* pound the keys. Muscle memory is a strong thing.

    And heck, some of those CRT terminals required some serious keystroke pressure. Ever use an ADM-3A?

    Some people do not have the drive to be entrepreneurs. I know for a fact that I don't. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with having the drive and being an entrepreneur, either.

    You're falling into the same fallacy as the schools -- one size fits all. That's not the case.

  19. Chunnel goes under water. No rich people there to say "NIMBY".

    Meanwhile, Los Angeles really Really REALLY needs a rail tunnel under the Santa Monica Mountains from the San Fernando Valley to the Westside, but that would go under all the rich people's houses.

  20. Voice messaging platforms AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile, which are used by more than 300 Million users, has had an open secret since its inception: The platform has served as a haven for online criminals. The Outline reports that the platform is riddled with thousands of groups and channels, whose sole purpose of existence is to commit illegal acts.

  23. We should also put listening devices in everybody's homes, just in case they are talking about a crime where the FBI cannot listen. (and no, I'm not talking Alexa, but who knows...)

    In case they are somewhere that electricity isn't, such as camping, we should have a government agent accompany everyone so that we can hear what they are talking about.
