And I don't recall meeting a single kid that had a "peanut allergy" before a public hysteria began over it."
Fuck you. You have never had a kid with an allergy. My daughter is allergic to tree nuts (not peanuts), and we had never even *HEARD* of the hysteria. All we knew is that she ate a piece of candy at Xmas and blew up like a balloon, including difficulty breathing. She was four.
Yeah, it was all made up hysteria. Go fuck yourself and die.
Per the CA DMV, it is illegal to use someone else's placard/plates. And, in fact, if you have a placard/plates, you are also issued an ID. If you're in a HDCP spot, a cop can ask you to show said ID, and ticket you if you don't have it.
My wife is wheelchair bound, and I f***ing hate it when people park in DP spots without plates or a placard. Even worse is when someone is obviously using someone elses placard (two teenagers get out of a car and bounce into the mall).
I was vaccinated as a kid back in the '60s and '70s, but mine wore off, and I got a case of whooping cough.
I had a hell of a time convincing the HMO doctor to give me the test. His reaction "Have you been vaccinated? You don't have it". Even though the pediatrician in the same HMO group had diagnosed my daughter with it (and yes, she'd been vaccinated, too).
Yes, in most cases, memorizing and rote is the wrong way to go about things... AT A HIGHER LEVEL.
At the elementary school level, in math, for example, rote learning is, IMO, the only way to teach the basics. Kids *need* to know the multiplication tables by heart. When my daughters were learning them, we'd drill... until they could answer anything in the 1-12 table without thinking. To do any sort of advanced math -- and by advanced, I mean basic arithmetic with more than 1 digit, or anything above basic arithmetic -- you NEED to "just know" the answer to the single digit multiplication tables.
On the other hand, the hard sciences, or the social sciences, even at the entry level, are much less amenable to rote, even though that's how they teach many things.
And at the secondary level, schools tend to use shitty textbooks. See Feynman's What Do You Care What Other People Think, for a (possibly dated, but I doubt it) view of how textbook approval works.
And you might want to reconsider as well. Lehrer wrote that when Von Braun was NASA's chief designer. It was a joke about how VB used to do the V2, and now he was working for NASA designing moon rockets.
Don't say that he's hypocritical. Say rather, that he's apolitical. "Vunce ze rockets are up, who cares vhere zey come down? Zat's not my department!", says Werner von Braun.
1982 WUSTL. It was an IBM 370. Towards the end of one semester, when everyone was submitting jobs, I had a 12 hour turnaround time for a 30 hour program.

Or, if they have a data breach, or even just sniffing, does it open them up to HIPAA violations?

I seem to recall reading in the early '80s that Rogue was responsible for over $1Billion in wasted computer time.
I wonder how much Angry Birds would be if they still charged for CPU usage.
IANAL, but it seems to me that suing someone over something you don't own could be considered fraud.
Why? They're "voting with their dollars". Do you buy [MS/Apple/Sony/other] if you don't agree with what they're doing?
What is the Constitutional basis for the so-called "War on Drugs"?
Three.
I guess I'm the second, then. I don't drink beer because I don't like the taste.
I'm OK with alcohol (Love me some Jack Daniels), but I can't stand the taste (and aftertaste) of beer.
Ditto.
Although in my case, it's a full-bore wheelchair van. My wife has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
Some of those people that look "just fine" that have handcapped plates might be fine- they might have borrowed the car or been a caretaker
In CA, it is illegal to use someone else's DP placard/plates to park in a DP spot.

What was Thera estimated at?
Except in Louisiana
In addition, what does PCI have to say about this?

What makes you think the two are unrelated?
Whoosh. Google for "Tom Lehrer".
Don't say that he's hypocritical.
Say rather, that he's apolitical.

That'll teach me not to proofread. 30 *LINE* job.

How is a *STATE PARK* not considered a public place?
