For all you youngsters, the sinking of the Andrea Doria.A bigger disaster and a huge contrast with this sinking. I remember well watching all this unfold on B&W TV and seeing it in the movie newsreels.
Once, while on a hike in the southern part of the Appalachian Trail, I met a local fellow who was kind enough to give me a ride to a nearby town to do some resupply. He drove a small non nondescript car that had six or eight pieces of electronics mounted in the front. Several were scanners tuned to the Forest Service, County Police, State Police and other law enforcement agencies. And a CB radio to talk to his friends. As we drove along, he spotted several forest service crews and knew all of their names, what they did and their schedules. He waited while I did my business and drove me back to the trail crossing.
Later that night, he showed up at the shelter I had stopped at with a few of his friends, all a bit intoxicated. He said they had thought of me and had brought a mason jar of local produce for me. I declined the gift, since I don't drink, but we talked a while. They were in a real talkative mood. Turns out they ran a distilling operating on National Forrest land and use the scanners to track law enforcement whenever they seem to be interested in them. He said the equipment was more for avoiding mutual embarrassment since law enforcement was not really interested in small scale producers of untaxed alcohol. Just a bunch of good old boys.
Short Pump mall is in Henrico County, Va, home of the world's greatest Used MacBook distributer. Last night, the local Richmond news broadcasts mentioned the tracking and the opt out method. I doubt anyone paid much attention to this.
To my mind, a better method of dealing with this would be transmitters that feed false data to the system, poisoning the data set, or if several are used, launching a DOS attack. After all, it is better to give than receive. I will add that there are four malls there that are contiguous and tracking traffic will be rather difficult and (imho) pointless.
There is probably nothing funnier than a bunch of ferrets chasing a RC car. We have three ferrets and they will gang up on the car and follow it everywhere it goes. They go into a full ferret frenzy and try to "attack" the car, considering it to be prey. The thought of that happening in a mall is a real mind blower.

Wife and I were taking an afternoon nap. Building starts vibrating and rattling.
Asked the wife (california girl) Earthquake?
"Yes, do you have them here?"
She didn't want to hear about Virginia seismologic happenings or the thermally active areas in the state. She just went back to sleep.
I got up and googled for info, which was abundantly available, then turned on the TV. The local channels were into full info mode and went on for hours about the quake. Various politicians and other vultures put in their expected appearances and offered mostly uniformed opinions. The worst consequence seems to have been the early let off of all government workers in DC which jammed transportation in NVa.
It can transport small valuable cargoes. Fly it to your dealer and back with coke or other drugs.
There might be a few sales to our Mexican friends who want to expedite international trade.
Cue: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds......
The Elbonians will become illegal immigrants either here or in the European Union. Why should they clean up their own mess when they can mess up another country.
I have encountered many "security" screws. I used a dremel tool and files to change the profile of available screwdrivers to make a good fit. It is easier than it looks.
Not to mention that trying to reduce the birth rate would address overpopulation, an issue I consider to be a far greater threat to civilization than climate change.
War is a good start on reducing overpopulation. Add in a bit of famine, unchecked disease, and destroyed housing, and the problem is solved. Read history, and you will see that this is an old and proven solution.
As resources dwindle, there will be more war and more destruction. Sic transit in aeternitas.
Precision gauges are designed to work within a specific temperature range. My granite register plates are flat within.0001 between 70 and 80 degrees f. Higher or lower temperatures cause distortion. Fortunately, these are bench tools and are not moved about, much less taken outdoors.

In the past, this act was known as "prostration. In ancient times, this act was considered so abasing to an individual, that Greek and Romans used it to differentiate themselves from eastern "barbarians" such as the Persians. Like silken robes, it was considered a sign of deep degeneracy. However, both were adopted by the courts of the eastern Roman empire. The robes are still with us via the catholic church. Grovelling on the floor is still practiced by politicians seeking campaign "donations."
private cars are no longer a viable solution to our transport needs
Sho nuff, bring back horses. Fodder can be grown locally, no oil derivatives used to provide locomotion, and if worse comes to worse, you can eat them. Hides make good shoes and sports equipment. Best part: idle youth can be put to work shoveling horse shit instead of posting it on slashdot.

We called them "Reservations".

More likely, "Crayon"

If this is true, Julian was wasting his time. The U.S. government does this regularly, all by itself.
If you are using Firefox, just install Redirect Remover. Works fine for me.
Does this involve drawing pentagrams and chicken blood?
I am only 12 years old. What is this "social activity" you speak of?

Contact these people. I have woodworking tools that are this precise. My register plate and Starrett tools are used to gauge my other tools.

Sadly, the Jerk with the knee was in the White House at that time.

What unmitigated crap. Business like Comcast do not reform, they just lie more and hire shills. Shills are cheaper than actual customer service reps.
