One of the coolest thing I ever saw was a meteor shower (Perseids IIRC) while I was deep in the Ozarks at the same time the lightning bugs, in their millions, were horny.
I might have been consuming some fine Ozark mountain retardo weed, but it only made it better.
Then get her a sweet job at the pentagon she was in no way qualified for. That couldn't have been about keeping her quiet? Nobody qualified wanted that job. There are no victims...
Just not true. Slaves are _shitty_ workers. Basically why it ended, world wide. To get them to work, you have to pay someone to stand behind them with a whip. Might as well pay the guy with the whip to work. Free men chasing something work much harder.
The parts of the USA that maintained slavery were the poor parts. Why they lost the civil war.
Pizza Hut is a Yumfoods brand. Just no. Their consistently 'worst in class': Taco bell, KFC, A&W, Arby's, Pizza Hut. (I'm forgetting at least one...) Nothing edible from the whole corporation. Japanese owned, executives likely don't eat 'foreign food' so don't know.
You're right about the pizza. But I'd go further, no national restaurant (Crapplebees, Outback, Olive Garden etc) chain gives value. Find a local place, where the cooks taste and adjust. They're not allowed to deviate at corporate chains, not cooks much less chefs, 'food assembly technicians' at best, often 'bag boiler'.
Traditional libertarianism is not anarchism. However it does hold 'doctrine' that monopolies only happen _with_ government assistance, hand waves away 'natural monopolies'.
Like all 'isms' it's only reasonable to discuss it in context of 'mixed mode' economies and government. As exists on the ground. Some 'isms' refuse 'mixed mode' which makes them irrelevant.
In the USA the Ds _never_ had a 'mind your business' principle, the Rs sold it out, decades ago.
Most people will claim 'I'm immune to branding like that', but most will brush with the same toothpaste their mother taught them how to brush with. Same with detergent. (/.ers that the stuff you mom uses to turn smelly clothes into clean ones. Machines that wake you up at noon from the unfinished half of the basement.)
Decades ago I worked for a corporation that ran funeral homes (not SCI though that was the role model for the owners).
They don't want 'everyone', they are after a particular customer. A really crazy stupid and grief stricken one that will spend 20x the average to bury someone. 90% of their profits come from 10% of the market.
You saw it in the incentives to the peddlers. Commish for bronze caskets and marble mausoleums is over 50% of gross price.
They won't turn away the 'inexpensive' service customers, but they don't really get them at all, as even their cremations are _outrageously_ overpriced.
Advice: Arrange for a friend/lawyer to make the arrangements. Loved ones are just too easy to manipulate and the 'already dead' sales staff are experts. Don't buy 'pre need', they are lying that it will be easier on the family. Again the 'already dead' sales staff are expert at upselling the family, even if the dead person wanted cheap and simple, they will go full bore to sell them anyhow. Called 'twisting' in the industry. They not afraid to make everybody hurt extra, if it will get them to move up from a fiberglass coffin to a bronze one. They know just how to say and do things to make irrational, grief stricken people spend spend spend.
Further advice: If you see the letters 'SCI' or the name 'Service Corp International' anywhere on a funhome (8.3 naming) run, don't walk, away. Shop for price, they don't expect it, you'll be shocked at the ratios. Depending on where you live, it might be hard to find a non-SCI place. Do it anyhow.
1997 was well into the second computer gold rush. It was just like now, incompetents everywhere, after the money. Based on your user ID, you know this.
I heavily discount claims of 'the best coder I've ever known was as * major'. Because I've run into them on occasion, including the claim. The no degree people are sometimes very good, the multiple degree (including a technical one) people are sometimes very good, the only a music/literature/philosophy degree people, not so much. Are any of the people who claim the 'best coder they've known...' themselves competent coders?
There are outliers in every group. I will continue to hire actual geeks.
If affects the odds though. Very few music majors are capable of making the shift. Examples from the 50s and 60s are no longer applicable. Those people just loved computers, people shifting these days love money.
20 years of corporate climbing tells me she was a competent politician. It's one of the costs of being a huge business: In house politicians (no handy walls and firing squads). Many music majors are capable of becoming politicians, I'd expect them to better at such bullsht than actual geeks.
Yet, basic things weren't done on her watch. Keeping your servers patched is very basic, but it's the kind of corner a non-technically proficient manager, like her, will cut.
Proof of the pudding and all. She's done and deserves to be unemployable.

It's even better with strange plants and fungi.

Only 'free enough markets'.
Guarantee one thing: Australia (and other places with similar dialect) were not 'rooting' for Hillary. Perhaps a few, but they're super pervs.

If that were true they would be concerned with the group that actually kills the most black people. Instead they focus on cops.

Barbarella's orgasmatron predated Woody's by 5 years. He didn't invent it. Likely didn't remember where/that he had seen it, thought it was original.
IIRC it's about 0.1 pennys/view. 10,000 views total before the channel can be monetized.

P&G sells people brands in a weird way.

I'm chasing him right now. Didn't mow the lawn last week. No rain excuse.
My own personal Jesus, someone to mow, edge and rake...
I've seen this one.
Just like this previous promise by Obama has no legal force. Politicians put on shows, news at 11!
Was never ratified by the US, no legal force. Even aside from the fact it's an empty agreement.
Foreign government negotiators that didn't recognize it as meaningless propaganda should go back to elementary school.

What makes you think you're qualified to judge security competence?
In any case, _this_ CSO was blithering incompetent. Proof is in the pudding. She couldn't even get staff to keep the servers patched. Basic stuff.
That's what you're supposed to do. You have a responsible position, that you aren't allowed to do. You quit, talk is cheap.
Modesto to Bakersfield. The rest is still unfunded vapor.
X-15 did mach 6.5. Space shuttle was even faster, though not at all deep in the atmosphere.
Devs somewhere wrote the patch. They didn't develop struts in house.
Applying patches to critical live systems is more complicated than you seem to appreciate.
Yet, basic things weren't done on her watch. Keeping your servers patched is very basic, but it's the kind of corner a non-technically proficient manager, like her, will cut.

The devs? No. That would be admins.
At that size, there should be small team just testing patches then applying them.
