"Day by day I'd post helpful and interesting comments across a range of topics, and never would I receive a reply."
You're doing it wrong.
Expecting replies is sort of pointless here. Really, no one will reply unless they hate you.
And many will miss your comments, since they will be cruising at +1 or above, to avoid the detritus of AC comments, not caring if they miss a few gems.
Including the entire states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Hawaii, and virtually all of Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and most of inhabited California.
And Washington DC in its entirety, but that's not a state.
This may not include a sliver of Vermont, though I doubt TSA will let the fly fishers off so easily.
Many more moons before that, when you were limited to dialup connections, we set up tunnels for authorized clients, RADIUS and all. The stated purpose was to enable radiologists about 100 miles away to access the Solaris machines and read radiology images for diagnosis.
Imagine our surprise when we saw connections (logging ANI for auditing) originating from India.
Imagine further surprise when Sun tried to shut this down, claiming they were constrained from delivering the software offshore due to encryption and munitions regulations.
Several lawyers later they went away, very disappointed in missing out on not only the licensing for few hundred thousand new end-users, but also for the licensing they missed out on when we figured out how other hospitals could share imaging and use our teleradiology services for the cost of a long-distance call. Which got cheaper when we partnered with a nascent DSL provider (NOT the ILEC, mind you), and they got AOL on the side.
Good times. that odd adapter with the 02DEADBEEF20 MAC address drove me crazy for a few hours, though. And the infiltration of Ethernet into my pristine Token-Ring network, with all the joy that brought.
That's actually useful and make sense. Now, to determine if you are, in fact, homosexual, without resorting to popular culture and your high school art teacher's diagnosis, that's the problem worth exploration.
"the root cause of most collisions had been the humans"
Ah, bad programming. It was human drivers. Their passengers were not the cause, unless the logic included a root cause analysis that determined travel by individual vehicle was the root cause of vehicle accidents.
You're describing an underclass that lacks skills, mobility, and knowledge. They feel trapped because, well, they are trapped.
The causes vary from failed education to mental disability to plain lack of effort, with many others too numerous to list here. But the issue is the same, captured in a marginalized existence.
This is not unique to San Francisco, but it's both high contrast and partially contained. The population of entire nations suffer similar existences.
Solutions? Few will rescue the current populations of these underclasses. Prevention? No, that requires, in large part, changing human nature and preventing diseases we barely understand. The proper response is to ensure they do not suffer needless deprivation, though in America that seems to mean an HDTV, cable service, one game console, and subsidized visits to the ER, the single most expensive form of healthcare we have. Yet I'm not ready to put these people into cattle stalls and feed them warm gruel. They deserve compassion. Most are probably capable of self-sustaining lives if a host of other problems are solved.
One solution is not, repeat NOT, sheltering non-citizens here illegally. really, if jobs are a problem for this underclass, why are they forced to compete for the lowest rung of employment with people who ought not be here? If these illegal residents are fleeing disaster elsewhere, do we intervene there in preference to helping our own citizens? Why? Or do we do it all, and pay the bill?
I still have a 44 year old quartz alarm clock IO bought in Germany. Works perfectly save for the hands coming loose from being dropped. A dab of nail polish fixed them permanently.
And I repaired time punch clocks older than that, with synchronous motors, that had no problems keeping time until the motor indeed failed from heat. Or the stamp broke. Or they got full of debris, but that's an unfortunate story.
And they know they don't have the product to draw new customers. Hell, they don;t have the product to draw old customers. Or dedicated, repeat customers.
So they are moving to reserve seating, plush, to simplify and enhance the experience. recliners actually help shield the light from the stupid iPhone X in front of me, so it's a deal, I don't have to waste 45 minutes to get the seat I actually want, and if I go solo I can go get my popcorn just before trailers and not lose my seat.
They are also going to change the mix of movies, slowly, but for a while inevitably. More family/values movies will come out, short runs with relatively low budgets, just as the 'swimming pool' and blog/guts movies will be intended for short run, lower budgets. Tech is helping as more production goes all digital, but cheaper movies can move through faster, and more product is always good for the studios. the exhibitors just want fresh to keep the seats filled.
But this can still fail. Watch for more talent to go do non-movie 'projects', try their hand ad producing what THEY think is what we want (as in what THEY want), and ultimately see the streamers keep generating good original content to keep us out of the theaters.
One pair I bought was described as 'Dark Hollow', and appeared to be unwashed and not distressed. The black ones, stretch, washed but not sanded or cut.

Title 8, baby.
8 U.S.C. 1357(a)(1)-(a)(3) among other statutes. Yes, they exceed their authority, but that's what this fight will be about.
"When you search something you have to have a reason for the search."
And this is precisely what the ACLU is asking. What is TSA looking for?
And of course, this is what TSA does not want to disclose. So here we go.
Two-thirds of Americans live within 100 miles of a border.

1 - A hundred thousand workstations using VR software? This is a mainstream training tool now?
2 - We are relying on a German company for must now be military mission-critical software?
Clearly this is not a big deal. They should have bought and on-shored the company .

"discontinue use if experiencing mood swings, nausea or elevated blood pressure."
There goes puberty. Abandon hope, all ye in 10th grade.
Haven't played much sports, have you...
Ah. So homosexuality is normal for homosexuals.
That's actually useful and make sense. Now, to determine if you are, in fact, homosexual, without resorting to popular culture and your high school art teacher's diagnosis, that's the problem worth exploration.
Oh yeah. That's one of the reasons my Twitter account is my second-least used.
Just ahead of Snapchat.
True. Most of those problems require reallocating resources away from well defended constituencies.
"the root cause of most collisions had been the humans"
Ah, bad programming. It was human drivers. Their passengers were not the cause, unless the logic included a root cause analysis that determined travel by individual vehicle was the root cause of vehicle accidents.
And so it goes, all the way down.

Anonymity certainly has its advantages. Carry on. I need every excuse to indulge in popcorn and 'butter'.
Thanks. I needed a laugh right now.
And, it's past... Darn, that didn't last long.
Didn't anyone teach you what capitalism actually is?
"causing some clocks to run behind by 5 minutes"
5 minutes. Per day? Week? Millennium? God, this hurts.

I'm betting you are so wrong it's painful.
It's expensive.
