ITYM "Mouser", it's pretty hard to find a RadioShack these days. And it will be delivered to your doorstep.
They'll also sell you a lithium AA for <$10, with over 8 watt-hours of energy, and which can also provide much more power than an alkaline.
Sidenote: Mouser and Digikey are the modern versions of Lafayette and Allied Radio. Tandy/Allied/RadioShack was a downhill move, Mouser and Digikey have brought it back up.
I'm with you. Just yesterday I had to help someone restore an Apple password (too many wrong tries on a single device). To quote Steve Jobs, the whole thing was "brain-dead."
Bad tries on a single iThing resulted in a DOS for every other Apple device linked to the same account. To recover, there was an option which promised to take days, or you needed an IOS 10 (?) device. That somehow produced a code, which you were told in one place to append to the old password when logging into a different device, and elsewhere told to use as the full password. Oh, and before you got that code, up came a warning that an "unauthorized device" was trying to access the account from some remote city (their geoIP sucks, and the warning was clearly wrong).
It was very, very much an exercise in frustration and too much time. Why not simply require a confirmation that things were good from some device other than the one with too many failed attempts, or worst case force a new existing password login then change from a different device? Because Think Different, and fuck you, we're Apple.

A AA battery is fine. A AAA. A 9-volt battery is a huge power charge. The size of the battery that can take down a plane when attached to an explosive.
Uh, no. The energy storage for an alkaline AA cell is about 4.2 watt-hours. For a 9V battery, it's about 5.49. That is not a "huge" difference, and definitely not enough that one could rely on the difference constituting a go/no-go for a detonator. A D cell - that would make a difference. And, most devices which use AAs use multiples, 2 or 4 is common. It's pretty uncommon to find a device which takes more than a single 9V battery. Beyond which, the whole comment seems a non-sequitur.
How many laptops/pads use AA or 9V batteries?
And that's the caliber of people who claim to be protecting us, and that's giving a benefit-of-doubt that they were somewhat misquoted and can actually construct complete sentences.
Congresscritters should simply make themselves available via email (real email, not the web forms they want to call email). They all seem to think it's OK to email constituents from a "no reply" address - which only informs me they're not interested at all in hearing from constituents, only telling them what to think.
And please, no, and no again, to the Bookface, where you're now forced to join in order to get anything useful from it. We don't need a government which forces citizens to join a private club in order to fully participate in government.

"If your routers are insecure enough that someone can sneak in, reprogram them to flash their LEDs and install sensors to pick up the flashing LEDs you have bigger issues."
And, I'll be glad to sell you a $1000 piece of opaque tape to put over the LEDs to obviate the attack. Maybe I'll write a formal paper about the method, which will then become a/. article.
No, but neither do I pay any attention to the terms of a contract of adhesion, one I can't negotiate, gives me no rights I don't already have, and which I don't agree to.
Shrink-wrap licenses ostensibly use copyright law to force a contract, but I consider copying software from the distribution media to the computer, then into memory to run it, as fair use - that's the sole purpose of the software, and it would otherwise be useless.

"80 percent say this is taking up more than an hour of their working week, which in a year could equate to more than $88,000"
Wow. A whole hour a week. So if 1/50 (let's assume they work hard, more than a 40 hour week) of their salary is $88,000, then these security staff make about $4.4 million/year. Anyone hiring?
The GP made the blanket statement that "there are better ways to store sperm." "Better" can only be relative to the need. The authors decided that for their needs, freeze-drying was the best means. Things other than just long term viability factored in, which the GP simply ignored.
Just as I thought. You have nothing to support your claim, so you simply modify it.
OTOH, the authors of the paper were quite clear on why this method was better for their purposes:
For the present study, we decided to freeze-dry the mouse spermatozoa rather than use traditional cryopreservation methods. When spermatozoa are freeze-dried or evaporatively dried, none of the sperm survive; however, mouse spermatozoa can maintain the ability to generate offspring when added to water and microinjected into fresh oocytes, and this may possible with human spermatozoa in the future. More importantly, such dried spermatozoa can be preserved at room temperature for up to 2 y and in a freezer almost indefinitely. In addition, the samples are very light and occupy a small volume. Therefore, our samples could be launched to the ISS without the need for a freezer, which greatly reduced the cost of launching. The merits of this procedure, in terms of the ease of launching freeze-dried samples into space, are significant for enabling the study of mammalian reproduction in space, even though the production rate of offspring from freeze-dried spermatozoa is lower than that from traditional cryopreservation methods.
"There are better ways to store sperm, freeze-dried would compromise the cellular membrane and render it immobile. "
Stored for 9 months in space, exposed to 100x the radiation dose? Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Or better yet, your published paper supporting your claim.
"The water sold in the grocery store is usually filtered tap water."
Only some of it. "Drinking" or "purified" water is usually as you say. "Spring" or "mineral" water is usually from a natural source (well). There's also distilled and/or RO water.
I'm not sure what you mean by "usually," but I suspect sales of spring waters exceeds that of drinking water in locations with palatable municipal water. If the tap water is really bad, it's probably drinking water which sells the most, because it tends to be cheaper than spring water.

"126 people since 2012 means they're not using it."
Since you obviously flunked kindergarten math, you might want to change your claim once you learn that 126 doesn't equal 0.
