"Unscheduled learning opportunities" Good lord take the sock out of your mouth you inhuman fuck
I don't know if this sounds soooo bad. It could be used as a more polite title for all the articles fact-checking presidential rally speeches and tweets -- or, literally, just about anything he says. For example, from Trump says Great Lakes have 'record deepness':
I support the Great Lakes. Always have. They're beautiful. They're big. Very deep. Record deepness.
(a) The Great Lakes are not among the deepest lakes in the United States, let alone the world. The deepest lake in the country is Crater Lake, a volcanic crater in southern Oregon with the deepest measured depth of 1,949 feet, according to Geology.com. Lake Superior is the Great Lake with the largest surface area in the U.S. at 31,700 miles. Its maximum depth is 1,332 feet, but it doesn't make the record books. (Even Lake Superior itself agrees.
(b) His 2020 fiscal budget proposal calls for a $270 million cut to the $300 million Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, according to The Detroit Free Press. So he doesn't actually support them.
First they made a list of all the plausible explanations: 1. A shipping container lost its contents
After 3 decades of work, they narrowed this list down to: 1. A shipping container lost its contents
This is absolutely brilliant investigative work.
Actually, (from TFA) they actually found the shipping container.
The media attention on the new campaign, however, drew the eye of a local farmer who remembered the first téléphone Garfield appearing after a storm in the early 1980s, when he was a young man.
He also knew the location of the container - in a secluded sea cave accessible only at low tide.
Members of the Ar Viltansou group, accompanied by Franceinfo journalists, set out to find it.
Climbing down the slippery rocks to the cave, the team spotted remnants of a destroyed shipping container - and soon, between the rocks, Garfield phones - in a more complete condition than any found before them.
Don't know why this guy didn't tell someone sooner...
This can be done via QR codes or NFC to a phone without the need for them to have any of your information.
So... I'd have to have a smartphone (or have it with me) with a QR app and/or NFC enabled -- or give out my email address -- to buy something.
Good thing this law doesn't *ban* paper receipts (yet).
I imagine you're assuming using the phone for the purchase too, and I'm not discounting your solution, just pointing out that it's a little elitist.
On the other end of this spectrum, buying with cash and getting a paper receipt is anonymous and works for rich and poor people.
... law barring retailers from printing paper receipts unless a customer requests one. Otherwise they'd be required to provide proof-of-purchase receipts "only in electronic form."
Okay, I don't live in CA, but... this mean you'd have to give every retailer you buy from your email address, so no thanks. I'll always be asking for a paper receipt.
Let's not forget Apollo One, Jan. 27, 1967... All because NASA used pure Oxygen in the capsule.
Yes, but that wasn't really done to cut corners or to keep to the schedule, but because on other air mix incidents and/or concerns, Choice of pure oxygen atmosphere.
The Command-Module redesign included changing the air mixture and pressure while on the ground to be 64/40% oxygen/nitrogen and lower pressure (14 vs 16.7 PSI), with the mix changing to 100% oxygen and 5 PSI in flight -- the rational is detailed in the link. A 100% oxygen mix was kept in the suits to keep astronauts from getting the "bends" (decompression sickness) during the ascent.
In addition, and probably most importantly, all the flammable materials were replaced with non-flammable or self extinguishing materials.

Add these to your "user.js" file:

user_pref("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
Optionally these too (may be redundant with above):

Can I get all that in a laptop? :-)
One stop shops main features are convenience and simplicity. I can't imagine why Google didn't succeed.
Never used Google+ but perhaps it wasn't convenient or simple.
All I know is that they changed (i.e.: screwed up) the use of "+" the search field.
Prices will be reduced by an average of 20 percent on the selected items.
Google+ was once supposed to be the one-stop shop for social and support among Google users, but it never really caught on.
Well... Google wanted to be the one-stop shop anyway.
Um... Wouldn't that need three towers? :-)
No. You could put multiple antennas on one tower. You don't need much spatial separation.
Thanks; I did not know (or think of) that. I imagine, though, that the greater the antenna separation, the greater the accuracy (precision? both?).
They should just put up their own cell tower and intercept all calls and triangulate the call and go get the phones.
Um... Wouldn't that need three towers? :-)

Isn't this part of the plot of the "Girl with the dragon tattoo" books? Only it's a man, not a woman with the immunity from pain.
More likely, The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo. I hear Lizbreath Salamander is one tough dragon.

I'm sure these systems will be quite mobile once people find out there are free PCs sitting around on TX roadsides ...

I'd try to come up with a funny expansion of MCAS.
May Cause Air Sickness
That is worse rather than better in terms of "lets assume everyone is rich".
Ya, I mentioned that when I replied to that post.
Before engaging MCAS the control software will display an animated dialog:
Clippy: It looks like you're plane may stall. Would you like help?
Which "alternative solution besides email receipts" can "your imagination [] fathom" instead?
Someone mentioned using a smartphone and a QR code or NFC to transmit the receipt to the phone.
This can be done via QR codes or NFC to a phone without the need for them to have any of your information.

Their voting machines will only print a paper ballot if you ask for it, otherwise they'll just provide ballots "only in electronic form." /future-irony
