I thought the president is already suffering from dementia. I am not trying to troll. But we have the nations oldest president, who seems to be getting much of its advice not from experts but from TV Political Pundents, who seems angry and bitter all the time, seems to be fearing everyone around him and with a lot of attitudes regression a lot like a child.
There is a good chance we are dealing with early onset Dementia with the president.
Just watch the British documentary (a 4-part series) "Trump: An American Dream". It is available on Netflix. There are lots of interview clips over the years, and it is obvious that his speaking ability degraded between 2000 and 2010.
But beware: I had a new Garmin Edge 1000 with GPS + GLONASS for a month, when one day it suddenly started failing to get its location. After some googling, I discovered that it was a known issue that GLONASS occasionally has issues, and when that happens, instead of falling back to using only the GPS signal, the dumb Garmin unit just fails completely. Disabling GLONASS restored its ability to find its location.
This is an actual set of questions I once got from my bank. None of these Q/A pairs was information I provided to them. Each question had 6 choices, with the last being "None of the above". Only 2 of these questions were based on current information. I redacted parts of 2 questions containing personal information.
1. In which of the following counties have you ever lived or owned property? 2. Which of the following street addresses in [city_I_once_lived_in] have you ever lived at or been associated with? 3. Which of the following corporations have you ever been associated with? 4. In which of the following housing complexes or communities have you ever lived or owned property? 5. Which of the following vehicles have you ever owned or leased? 6. When did you purchase the property at [my_current_address]?
Honestly, I don't even tell the bank the real answers to these dumb questions. The reason is quite simple: someone could research and find the answers. Far better to just make up a set of answers to these sorts of things. Even multiple sets for different institutions. That's what I do. They have no business knowing details and they have proven they can't keep secrets.
You don't understand. You don't get to choose the questions, nor the correct answers. These questions/answers are composed of information that was mined from your past. The first time my bank hit me with a quiz like this, I had to dig through my files for some of the answers, because it was from so far in the past.
Lowe's online site is a great example. Not only can I tell if an item is available at my local store, they actually give me a map of the local store and tell me exactly where to find what I'm looking for. And every time I go to the site it knows which local store I live near.
It's the same story with Home Depot. The local one is just a mile from home. I recently learned that they also carry products that are not stocked in the stores, but can be ordered online and delivered to my local store with *no* shipping charges. Their very competitive prices, combined with no shipping costs, make them cheaper than any other source for some items.
The division of the company I work for just switched to a matrix management organization style, calling it "The Matrix". They also used a photo from the movie in the power point presentations until someone (okay, several people) pointed out that equating us with interchangeable, disposable batteries really wasn't cool or good for morale. They kept the name though...
My deepest sympathies.:-( I was at Sun Microsystems in it's final days as management was flailing around, and one of their boneheaded moves was to adopt Matrix MisManagement. What a clusterfuck.
might inadvertently make their users' encrypted connections less secure and expose them to man-in-the-middle attacks,
Well no shit, given that the traffic inspection itself has to be done via a man-in-the-middle attack.
Exactly. At a previous employer (large Fortune 500 company), I got roped into going to a class put on by the vendor of a proxy product. The instructor was a very sharp fellow who flat out stated that the "HTTPS inspection" feature was a MITM attack. Interesting thing was this company was not using the feature due to the _legal_department_ prohibiting it's use.
I hated the way they'd want your name and address, even though consumer protection legislation said that you don't have to give it to them. "But the system requires it." F*ck your system. I'm paying cash. So, put down "Johnny Cash." The address? Folsom State Prison.
And if they bother you again, just remind them of what went down in Reno.;-)
There's a delightful exchange from Yes Minister that, while reflecting the major British papers as they were in the late 70s and early 80s, is still relatively true today:
Sir Humphrey: The only way to understand the Press is to remember that they pander to their readers' prejudices.
Jim Hacker: Don't tell me about the Press. I know *exactly* who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by the people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think they *ought* to run the country. The Times is read by the people who actually *do* run the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by people who *own* the country. The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by *another* country. The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard Woolley: Sun readers don't care *who* runs the country - as long as she's got big tits.
I'm going through the Netflix DVD's of this right now. I've watched it in it's entirety once before. I've never seen more brilliantly written political satire!
UPS stores have what are essentially PO Boxes but are not USPS. The mailing address is often an office number at the UPS store location, so 111 any street Ofc 321.
UPS and USPS will deliver there (not sure for fedex) and it can be used as a business address.
I did this for 10 years. *Any* shipper can deliver to them. And since the store was only one mile away, it was very convenient. I only quit using it when new owners bought the store, promptly doubled the annual fee, then tripled it the following year.
The problem is the for-profit "schools" who: - Admit *anyone* with a pulse, regardless of qualifications. - Charge tuition that is multiple times what a real school charges. - Do crap like sending nursing students to a Scientology museum and call it "clinical hours". (They graduated w/o ever being in a hospital).

Here is the 78-page prelim from the Indonesia NTSC (counterpart to US NTSB) on the Lion Air 610 crash on 2018-10-29;
Very technical reading:
http://knkt.dephub.go.id/knkt/...
There are NEVER going to be more than 9 justices on the supreme court, period.
The size of SCOTUS is determined by Congress, not the Constitution.
It has been as small as 7, and as large as 10 (from 1883-1886).

I've been wondering how much the Salvation Army bell ringers have been hurting since less and less people carry cash with them.

Or since you're the only person whose writing in barely or totally incomprehensible gibberish, make you super easy to identify.
But also easy to confuse with POTUS.

The comedian Gallagher explained this years ago:

The problem isn't ITT, it's that people think some school (or ANYONE ELSE) will make you successful.
You make yourself successful. Only you.
Wrong.

The problem is the for-profit "schools" who:
- Admit *anyone* with a pulse, regardless of qualifications.
- Charge tuition that is multiple times what a real school charges.
- Do crap like sending nursing students to a Scientology museum and call it "clinical hours". (They graduated w/o ever being in a hospital).
most likely a result of there tax haven (Ireland) no longer being as safe a place as they thought to hide there stolen billions.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
