It's only the last decade or so that automatic gearboxes have come to a real world efficiency that MATCHES manual gearboxes, but they aren't by any means much better than manual gearboxes. The manufacturer figures presented are for most of us unobtainable.
Anyone that knows what car model it was and if it has an electronic parking brake?
There have been reports of cases where the electronic parking brake has released itself due to a software bug on some brands. And all it takes is a glitch in the software.
It's not easy all the time to actually see what's right or wrong. However some clauses found in agreements can actually break the law and therefore be invalid.
Changing an agreement "by default" is not necessarily acceptable either from a legal point of view.
Finland has two main seasons - Mosquitoes and Mosquito-free.
Outdoor activities are preferred in the mosquito-free season, indoor activities are aside from Koskenkorva consumption also a lot of thinking and preparations for the mosquito-free season.
It depends, some NFC cards are weakly protected. There are cards with better protection but I wouldn't be surprised if they are cracked as well.
I did play around with a NFC reader once and was able to break into a weak card in the matter of seconds. It was one of the public transport fare cards.
Many entry systems also uses the same technology, and cloning such a card would also be pretty simple.

Which you never is able to use if the engine is left running when you leave the car shortly to do some minor thing like checking the mailbox at home.
It's also important to ALWAYS use the parking brake since if it's left unused it can get stuck and be useless when needed.
You work under the assumption that the car had a park position on the gear lever. Manual gearboxes don't.
And there have been reports of electronic parking brakes releasing themselves without user interaction.

Nice to see some personal reflections.
Regardless of what you think of the re-boot it's not fun to see people pass on when they are young.
The quote "To err is human, to really screw up things you need a computer" comes to mind.
Kim Jong-un is as far as I know still alive.
But the attack from CBS and Paramount is just stupid. It does not bring value to the franchise, it just adds a bad taste of bitterness to it.
A parody does not have to be funny though. Some leaves a sour aftertaste.
The 70's wasn't bad compared to how it have been in other times. McCarthy anyone?

Go to ludicrous speed.

It was Facebook in this case.
Try the same thing with some serious outfit - like CIA - and it would be a permanent re-location to some unmapped place.
Sorry, my current employment contract don't permit me to reveal who my employer is to anyone.
The best remedy would be to have a fake card in your wallet that gives away useless data when probed.
The PIN is NOT stored on the card, it's in the back-end system.
At least that's how the European cards works.
Too many tries and the card is blocked by the back-end system so it's no idea to change to another terminal.

Well, I would like to see you carrying around 12 revolvers.
When trying to download my data from LinkedIn now I get "Maximum Transaction Time exceeded".
I can imagine that there's a crapload of people trying to bail out now!
And everything they touch these days becomes infertile crap.
If you think that - then you haven't seen much of the internet.
I fully expect Microsoft to start some severe data mining of the site now.
Since Microsoft now have their hands in LinkedIn I'll plan to bail out of that.
You have to consider the reason for the pain inflicted to decide if it is good or bad. It may be the lesser of two pains.
Humans work out the best avenue sometimes by trying things and see if they get penalized. If no penalty is given then it has to be OK.
