And how prey tell do you know? Did I use prey instead of pray to be cute or was it a typo? Or did I just not know any better? Without the continuation of my post you'd have no fucking way of knowing.
Ironically enough, spelling rules were put in place so that jack asses like you could feel smugly superior to everybody else. William Shakespeare, one of the greatest playwrights of all time would spell the same word several different ways in the same play. Proper grammar tends to get in the way of actually communicating. I happen to have a gift for language and a learning disorder, if you bother to read the posts out loud they work very well typically. But they aren't generally spelled completely proper nor do they obey the relevant conventions, because there's no point. It's one thing to write gibberish and quite another to write stuff that isn't perfectly formed. In this part of the world, you don't even get grammar in high school, let alone college.
But, the underlying problem here is that grammar Nazis are bullies, plain and simple. There's generally no reason to do it, other than a possible OCD or Asperger's diagnoses. And they should be getting relevant help.
Why on earth is grammar trolling considered legitimate? It's one thing to expect a book to be properly spelled, but to grammar and spell check posts on places like this or in general just says one thing about the person. They need to get sexed up and badly. Perhaps we should start a fund to send them to the Netherlands to get laid.
Which is why backup should be ones primary focus. For home computers backblaze does a really good job of taking the thinking out of the process. Automatic exclusion based backups are really the way to go for that precise reason. Sure you end up spending more in media and possibly transfer costs, but it's far less likely that you'll miss files that you need. Which also makes it less problematic when you have to take a week off and the only person available to handle things isn't the person that normally does the backups.
It's very easy to end up losing your backups because the person taking things over didn't understand the complexities involved with the system. Or know how to check to make sure things were going as planned.
Not going to happen anytime in the near term. The limitation is because ATMs only take a 4 digit PIN. Allowing more would be pointless as you couldn't use the ATM, or the ATM would have to lop it off to the first 4 digits.
Use a password database program and be damned sure to keep it backed up in several places. I usually include the security information in the password file. If somebody compromises that I'm already incredibly screwed, the security answers are likely more of a problem if you don't do that.
One of the stupid things is that they'll have a limited number of choices and some aren't well thought out. For people with parents born a bit after Harry S Truman was president, there's a fair number with single letter middle names out there.
I've tried to explain to my parents that their passwords aren't acceptable. And that if they do get ripped off that the businesses they are using are almost certainly not going to pay them back because they weren't taking their passwords seriously. Most people don't understand how dead serious this stuff is until they get ripped off, at which point it's largely too late. You can cancel the cards and lock your credit report, but the damage has been done.
Worse still is that sites which save your credit information show only the last 4 digits of various numbers. The problem being that with the last 4 digits you can typically recreate the rest of them without a whole lot of trouble as the first quite a few are based upon a known algorithm.
Indeed, the one time my information got stolen, it was the result of incompetence on the part of TD Ameritrade. Just last week I got another call from scammers at the "US Pharmacy" wanting to know about my prescriptions for Cialis and Viagra. I'm not a doctor, but I don't think that people generally take those medications together. I suspect the results would be somewhat less enjoyable than one would expect. Last time they called they wanted to know about my prescription for Benzodiazapene. I have prescriptions for none of those medications, they were just trying to trick me into giving them my CC number. I called him a liar and hung up immediately. Piece of shit ought to be in pound me in the ass with a "male enhanced" dick prison.
Whoever at TD Ameritrade was responsible for maintaining the security of their databases, I feel similarly about. The settlement was an absolute insult. After they lost the information they were allowed to pay people back with free trades. Only an idiot would still be with a firm that was that disinterested in proper security measures. Meaning that they paid a few cents per person and got off basically free for those of us with the intellect to move our money elsewhere.
For certain kinds yes, I'd personally be suspicious of any accusations of a person paying for child porn with their own credit card. Sure there are people that dim out there, I just doubt very much that it's commonplace.
I'm a bit surprised that the prison allows the guards to keep their phones with them on duty. While not for this specific reason, there's all kinds of ways in which this can go wrong, from jail breaks to contacts with the outside world that aren't being monitored.
That being said, the fact that he put the keys down is the real issue. Security, LEOs and such are never under any circumstance to put their keys down, not even for a moment for this precise reason. People can get access to them without your knowledge.
Eh, not necessarily, I basically did something similar to that when I walked out of my job a while back. I wasn't about to get myself killed because the manager was a corrupt, dangerously incompetent prick with no relevant knowledge and a general jackass psychopath. Most of what I've read indicating it's a hoax, other than the admission, is pretty much bullshit. If you're that angry about a work site this sequence of images is hardly that implausible. A new whiteboard that size isn't really that expensive and at some point quitting in a spectacular way becomes worth it.
It's relevant to the topic at hand. Sexual abuse, domestic violence and rape are crimes which there is a very strong bias against men. Despite no evidence that abusers are male, the conviction rates heavily favor women by not prosecuting spousal abuse committed by women. Additionally, while sexual abuse isn't any more likely to occur to girls than boys there's virtually no resources given to the latter. Same for domestic violence shelters and education.
Sexual harassment suffers the same problem, as since the victim is largely able to define the offense, it's not necessarily always easy to avoid being accused. Sometimes it's even worse where the "victim" is much worse behaved in that respect, but gets the first mover advantage of filing a specious complaint. It's entirely plausible that what a CEO does is technically within the ill defined bounds of sexual harassment, but not what one would normally consider to be wrong.
I missed that, but the factories had already been replaced a few years back. I'd read several years ago, before the great recession started about it. This is indeed the most sensible way of removing excess capacity, however it is questionable as to whether it was a wiser move than just fixing the previous ones, or immediately replacing them as the new ones came online.
This is an awful lot of factories to be shuttering at one time.
The problem was way beyond that. They had a massive overbuild of factories due to incompetent monetary policy. It wasn't like the steel industry in the US which is somewhat smaller than necessary production. In China, low interest rates and limited stable investments led to an over construction of these factories. The only way that taxation would help would be if they raised it enough to purposely put factories under, which would've been a lot more harmful and disruptive than this was.
What you don't seem to comprehend is that the factories they're shutting shouldn't have been built in the first place. The capacity wasn't ever needed and the only reason why they built them was that bank accounts in China paid at the time even less than ones in the US and Europe. It's hardly green to shutter excess capacity that shouldn't have been built in the first place. But because they couldn't get anything for their savings it made more business sense to build and build without a whole lot of consideration given to the prudence of doing so.
As inept and incompetent as the economists of the Federal Reserve are in the US, the ones running the Chinese economy are light years beyond them in terms of incompetence. You just can't assume that currency manipulation and central planning is going to get you anywhere in the long term. They flat out don't understand what it is that they're doing and it's going to cost us all dearly.
Indeed, prior to Quake, there wasn't really any reason to use a mouse to play. I recall playing Wolf3D and using the chain gun for twofers because of the way the aiming worked. Most of the time you didn't have to precisely hit them, even across the room. Same for Doom, the shotgun was great for being able to mow down several low level enemies at once without carefully aiming.
Or the Catacombs Abyss, or Lethal Tender for that matter. Lethal tender was a pretty interesting game in that it allowed you to do things which I can't recall any other game allowing you to do at the time. Strip the guards for a uniform, get injured in a limb and end up running in circles if you didn't heal. Actually go outside (Well sort of)
Well, I was pretty amazed by the update that the guys over at doomsday gave the engine, but you're point is dead on. While those games are still a lot of fun, the graphics suck. That being said, they still make me jump out of my skin in places, but that was because they really draw you in for cheap frights.
That would be your circadian rhythm acting up, or a part of it. I've used it to my advantage in the past with a daybreak simulator, which gently ups the light intensity to mimic the natural sunrise. I think it was roughly a sign wave IIRC.
It's doubtful that any dream lasts 3 or 4 hours, given that the average sleep cycle is only 2-4 hours and REM is only a small portion of that. Dreams exist in a realm that doesn't obey the normal laws of time and space.
Deep sleep is regenerative sleep. AFAIK it isn't related to memory at all, REM sleep is. I'm not sure scientifically, but it does seem that the less REM you get the better in terms of memory. My memory was definitely a lot better before I started with all the damned dreaming.
True, but the idea behind that in games where they do such things is that a particular person doesn't have to pay, but somebody does. Think of it as a sort of subsidy. You can buy them with in game currency, but only after somebody has created the item. And since the developer gets paid to create them, the game is funded and everybody is happy.
Well that is until something like this happens. Personally, I think those items should be sacrosanct and not disappear unless the account that's holding them is banned.
In other online games things like that are special, in that they can't be destroyed unless specifically called for. As in times when you use them, never at any other time. Sure it breaks the narrative a bit, but it ensures that this sort of thing only happens when you turn the items over to scammers.
It's easier to do that when you can scare the crap out of people with stuff you made up and that most of the time is demonstrably false. The liberals by encouraging more intelligent people to join up are at a disadvantage since they can't just make up science and history to back their points. But hey, that's why fascism is going to be with us for quite some time, it's easier than convincing people to act in the best interests of everybody.
