It doesn't take very many homeless to deny others the use of a twelve-seat minibus. I'd say that the problem is the with homeless taking over the bus, thanks.
I lived in a city where the buses ran every fifteen minutes, and my apartment was 1/8 mile north of the same road that my work was also 1/8 mile north-of, but the workplace was in an adjacent city where the buses ran every half-hour. Every other bus turned around at the border between the cities, and those half-hour buses that did continue tooled around that city's downtown and then sat at a senior center for fifteen minutes before continuing. It took 45 minutes to go eight miles and if I missed the bus I needed then I had to wait another half-hour. It took fifteen minutes to drive that, even driving past a major (45,000+ enrollment) university where that road was always congested/delayed.
There was literally no reason to take the bus if one had a vehicle.
So literally regular passengers won't get on a squalid bus that homeless people have taken over.
There's a downtown shuttle here. It was free for awhile. It got taken over by the homeless and normal commuters stopped using it just about entirely. They finally started charging a quarter to ride and made everyone get off when it reached the end of the line and the bus went "out of service" for fifteen minutes. Suddenly there weren't really any homeless people riding it just to pass the time anymore, and their regular ridership actually did go up, people didn't mind paying a quarter because it was far cheaper than paying for parking along the central route.
Ok, please name the other Russian security companies whose products phone-home even if for legitimate purposes. Especially ones with as much market penetration as Kaspersky.
Kaspersky the man might well not intend to cooperate with nefarious interests of his government, but Kaspersky the man might not be able to stop said government from covertly penetrating Kaspersky the company either through actual hacking techniques or through social-engineering of company employees.
We don't really know how much they actually included. For all we know they already had increased the quantity to what they thought was a safe margin.
The balancing act is pretty insane, any increase in rocket mass means a decrease in payload mass. They literally have to build a rocket that's just equipped to do what it needs to do in order to maximize payload. After all, a rocket is cool and all but it's the payload that really matters.
If they do decide to add more fluid then they'll probably see if they can cut mass anywhere else. It may not take much, but finding 50-100lb is going to be a challenge.
The drink is actually a high-priced option, the cup costs them more than the contents you put into it.
You'll also note that the menu at most fast-food is structured around a bunch of different menu options using ingredients from a set where very few if any of those ingredients is only used in a single menu item. Taco Bell is probably the perfect example, in that there's only about a dozen ingredients to make everything on their entire menu. Each menu item is simply a subset of those ingredients, perhaps with different processes applied (Gordita shell deep-fried to turn it into a Chalupa shell, for example) so that the actual cost to supply and operate the individual kitchens is very low.
Even traditional hamburger-joint fast food operates this way, the difference between a burger and a chicken sandwich is the choice of meat, and sometimes there are other chicken dishes that use the same source chicken filet so that it's not a single-menu-item ingredient.
I think that the point is that "reasonable" prices will cause a lot of customers to balk.
If the alcohol sales essentially subsidize the food sales, then raising the prices for those food items may cause a lot of patrons to choose other places. I have a feeling that this is pretty likely to be a problem since already prices are rather high, and portions are already ridiculously large in order to justify the high prices. The actual raw ingredient costs are very low, it's facilities, utilities, labor, and probably marketing that take a lot of the revenue. Restaurants have to serve the oversized portions because that allows them to reach the price point where it's not a loss.
When I look at my local Mexican restaurant market, the quality difference between fairly low-end food and fairly high-end food is not really all that extreme. It's enough that I generally prefer the higher-end places (they do a better job of not overcooking things and having the final dish not be as greasy) but the biggest differences are in the facilities, lower-end places are often in former-fast-food locales and the dining rooms are pretty rough. The low end places don't serve alcohol. While their prices are lower than the high-end places, they're really all that much lower. I could see the high-end place having to raise prices fairly substantially if alcohol sales don't help support the restaurant.
As far as I'm concerned, a list of three entries or more should work as a list without words like or or and, especially when list-entries might comprise disparate items that are not normally associated but may have a few things that are more commonly grouped together. A list like, "automobiles, quasars, dogs and cats," is ambiguous because even though dogs and cats are not the exact same thing, they're a lot closer than either of the other entries and are often referenced together in other contexts.
Then we have the popular example of, "the strippers, JFK and Stalin," versus, "the strippers, JFK, and Stalin," where natural sentence flow for a short list makes it sound like we've named a set and then described the two elements in that set, versus describing three elements.
I watch a machinist/handyman channel that fairly regularly makes fun of others who try to do handyman/maker things, but his making fun of them is usually well-deserved. There was one clip in-particular where the subject had enlarged a hole in wood by holding the wood in his hand on the other side from the drill, with the bit basically making arcs across his palm as he ran it. If he slipped at all he would have cut into his hand.
My guess is that despite the original youtuber doing something patently stupid, it would be this guy who made fun of it that would run afoul of the rules, not the original moron.
How would you like to be the schmuck they tried this feature on on first?
"Mr. TWX, having reviewed your social-media footprint, we feel that you're a good fit for our new feature. We expect that dozens, nay HUNDREDS of dislikes will accrue on your posts. Please enjoy beta-testing this new feature!"
My guess is that this is even less of a starter than the Whiskey Rebellion.
I did a cursory search on if the Federal Government accepts gold as currency for tax purposes and did not get any hits that said either way, but there were a lot of hits on the debate if the transaction or appreciation of gold is taxable in the same way that things like stocks are. This makes me lean towards thinking they don't accept gold as payment.
I'm going to further guess that they're not willing to accept non-US-currency or at least non-fiat-currency as payment for taxes.
The problem isn't interruptions so much as missing relevant incoming communications. I occasionally miss ones specifically directed to me, but it's most a problem in group chats.
I suppose I prefer e-mail best of all of them. It keeps a nice, easy to review record, it's an open platform so anyone can participate, and the alerting works well.
Probably because the features that a handheld computer with 24/7 radio communications to the Internet offers is a total paradigm-shift over using something roughly the same size for simple voice communications.
Mind you, it's a pretty miserable failure for the device, first and foremost thought of as a phone, to fail to function as a phone.
Related to this, there are too many vectors of communication. I have to juggle e-mail, my desk phone, my cell phone, text messaging to my cell phone, Cisco Jabber messaging, Spark groups, spark personal messaging, Google's personal messaging, Microsoft Teams for both personal and group messaging, and even things like updates in smartsheets, sharepoint, and google drive. And that's before even looking at the official workflow system.
I've tried to simplify it. Unfortunately every time someone new comes in they chase whatever shiny new repackaging of instant messaging or IRC is out there and we end up adding new vectors, and the only times they've reduced them were finally getting rid of the pagers and those wretched push-to-talk cell phones we had early on that would kill your eardrum if you had an earpiece in when the initial connection came in.
The earth is flat and no one has taken a picture of the edge because the world's governments have set up patrols to keep people from visiting the edge. It's completely circular logic.
If you believe the flat earth is a disc, then yes, it really is circular logic.
Probably because "infosec" is not a person standing over you slapping your hand when you go to do something stupid, but is instead an abstract concept penned-down in that operating manual that you never read because the author essentially found the cure for insomnia.
And I'm sure that the eighteen year old recruit two weeks out of AIT and four months out of basic has this weighing heavily on his mind when he's going overseas for the first time in his life, when five months ago he'd never even held a rifle before.

So what... the bus is driving that way anyway...

Three. From a taxonomy perspective, mouse and rat are the same thing.

No, there are two classes of people. Punctuation pendants is the first class. Grammar goons and comma connoisseurs is the second class.
Okay, I laughed. I forgot about most of the ads because I don't normally see them anyway.

The noscript button on your plugins icons on your browser. Just make sure it's set to never even ask to enable javascript from them.
I'd block them at the firewall if my wife didn't use it to look at family stuff from time to time.

If these numbers can be used to determine the number of personnel and where various facilities on-base are located then there is.
