The good news is that it seemed like NASA would be one of the last groups to use reused rockets because of their deep-seated bureaucracy.
Not so much NASA. They've tried re-usability on a few programs with varying degrees of success.
Space Launch System
This is where you need to look for the biggest roadblocks to re-use. The traditional aerospace suppliers have been in the business of selling disposable crap. Because that's how they know to make money. And they were not willing to step up and meet SpaceX's benchmark. I imagine that executives at ULA and it's minions are hoping for the next generation of pragmatists to step into Musk's shoes. They will be more likely to step down and play the game of telling customers what they will be getting. Rather than building what they want.
I just pulled the heads off of a 2002 Audi A6 this summer. There was a pretty good layer of crud on the piston and heads. Well tuned? Until it ate its valves, it passed every emissions test with no CEL.
and if you get caught... you can't use it until the class is over
Or you can't use it until you pick it up in the principal's office at the end of the day. Or you can't use it until your parents pick it up in the principal's office. Lots of different options.
Why? When I went to school, it was kids who just needed a cigarette in the parking lot during the break. That wasn't an excuse for being late even though the physical withdrawal symptoms were more serious.
As vehicles age, they build up carbon in the cylinders. Carbon causes hot spots and predetonation. So the ECU retards the ignition timing. Just pop the cylinder heads off, clean out the carbon and you get better performance.
iPhones/iPad/MacBooks etc. will let the battery discharge down to 90 or 95%, even when plugged in, and then charge back up, since holding a Li-Ion battery at 100% is bad for it.
they'd see that someone wasn't matching up with the normal baseline
Maybe not. That's what makes psychopaths very difficult to detect in day to day interactions. They are very good at matching up with normal baselines. It's one reason they are difficult to catch with lie detectors.
The question is whether micro-expressions go beyond the characteristics measured by lie detectors in that even a psychopath can't control them. There are tricks that normal people can be trained to fool the machines. Such as messing with the baseline b.p. heart rate and respiration. But that is pretty easy to detect. And that's not how psychopaths beat lie detectors. They do so by basically convincing themselves that there is nothing wrong with giving an incorrect answer or misleading an interviewer. And so there is no negative emotion attached to the act that would trigger a physiological response.
If anything the computer would be more likely to catch them.
Why? By definition, they don't have the same emotional responses as normal people*. So there would be nothing to detect. Or the wrong thing. A guy might be happy about being shafted by the boss because he's on his way out to his truck to fetch his 12 gauge.
*I'd like to see some tests of this technology conducted on people with various diagnosed personality disorders. If it can pick them out of a crowd it could keep them out of the workplace**.
**Why hasn't anyone from marketing come in this morning?
because they asked someone to change an entry on a piece of paper
If it was a change to correct a clerical error, no problem. But if it was as a result of someone having their todger removed, there would have been consequences. Both for the person requesting the change as well as the person performing the surgery. Likewise, some guy slipping into a skirt and requesting a records change (sans surgery) would have raised an alarm.
Asking for something isn't a crime,
No, its not. But back in those days, it could get you institutionalized.
when humans were in the loop, petitions to change gender on national insurance cards generally went through, but when the computer came in, the system was "specifically designed to no longer accommodate them
I'm going to have to call BS on this one. Back in the days before automation, a request to change gender (particularly in Britain) would get you a trip to the local police department, much like Alan Turing. Once computers were brought in, the lack of a change process (without extraordinary circumstances) just carried forward from manual methods of recordkeeping.

more public acceptance
China. You will be told what you will like. The rest of the world can just go and fuck off.

This.
Also classified research papers. They may in fact be cited, but we will never know.
Because (at least on TV) that's how all the cops find the body. By calling the cell phone and hearing the dumpster ring.
Rogers
In this context, is Rogers a verb?
Quick! Hide behind the discarded sofa!
I'm not saying it was aliens. But it was aliens.

Student usually refuses.

Buttons?! When I was a kid, we had to use a dial.
Now get off my lawn!

As demonstrated with 787s.

In fact, forget the green coloring. And the blackjack.
Also make sure you disable automatic reply receipts.
I don't even have a command line psychotherapist available.

Pure inventions on the part of the round-earthers to hide the locations of the edges.
