Back in the 80s I was a submariner in the US Navy stationed in Norfolk VA. The parking lots ran right up to the piers. I always thought it funny that the closest parking spots were all handicapped.
I wondered how the handicapped person got into the submarine with his wheelchair.
I had a credit card hacked once. The person used it to pay for a lot of crap on iTunes. When I called Apple support, the said that the credit card was attached to a different account. So when the support person wanted to validate who I was, she asked me for the answers to my secret questions. I had scrambled answers like you describe. I also always use the maximum number of characters that the field (or rule) will allow. About 50 characters into it, she said she knew it was me.
"... In the U.S. alone, 79 million people are infected with HPV. That’s more than a quarter of the entire population. Fourteen million new cases crop up every year. Gardasil can substantially cut those numbers back—it’s working, and working well, in the U.S. and Australia—but not if the fearmongering falsehoods by anti-vaxxers get traction."
Isn't it odd that we'll do everything we can to focus on the vaccination and those who might be affecting that profit stream, all while ignoring the root cause and ever-growing infection rate.
Yeah, there's a fucking herd of elephants standing in the room, but they're making us a shitload of money, so...
I question the 79 million people being infected. Per the CDC site, in the summary:
How do I know if I have HPV? There is no test to find out a person’s “HPV status.” Also, there is no approved HPV test to find HPV in the mouth or throat.
So if there is no way to know if someone has HPV, then how the fuck can there be a count of the people with HPV.?
This is why vaccines should be 100% mandatory unless there is a valid medical reason. I don't care what your religion, personal beliefs etc are. If you are going to live around other people you have to be vacinated.
And I would say if YOU, Ambassador Kosh, are man enough. Bring it!
Well, the problem with this is that the idiots refusing vaccines aren't just putting themselves at risk.
If it was just they and their offspring would become ill? Hey, run wild. You've taken yourselves out of the gene pool and we don't care. That's your damned problem for a choice you made.
But that isn't what happens. Someone else gets sick.
Which means if you refuse to get vaccinated and then help to spread disease you should be liable for that. Like criminally liable.
If it was as simple as the herd doing without the ones who wouldn't get vaccinated, it would be an easy choice. What they really end up doing is endangering other people.
Which means they aren't solely the ones in danger by their own stupidity, and they should be refused access to places like schools and jobs so they don't make others ill due to their own stupid.
The person, that refused the vaccine and got sick, got the disease from someone else. So does that someone else also get charged criminally? And if the person, that refused the vaccine and got sick, how would the disease affect anyone else except people that were not vaccinated?
I would think people like you, would think this to be a self solving problem.
A wired solution that reported "everything is ok!" if you cut the wires or the power went out would be equally stupid.
A good wired solution would use supervised alarm circuits. These have a resistors incorporated into the circuit, usually one in series and one parallel.
In this manner cutting the wires would produce a true open. Twisting the wires together would show a true closed. In normal operation neither of those two conditions would exist.
I can not understand the leadership at Verizon. They seem to always do the opposite of what they should do.
For example, when the iPhone first came out, Verizon turned Apple down and lost quite a few subscribers to ATT. I wonder if the executive that made that decision kept his job?

There never appears to be a coherent thought process. The layoff thousands 3 weeks ago, going to lay off a lot more on May 22nd, yet there is money to waste on AOL. Funny thing is, I will probably be laid off after this year's contract negotiations are over, but my son will start working for Vz in June.
I bet they bag Wireline with the load debt so that Wireless books look great.
I was thinking along this same path. I was thinking recording singing happy birthday, for each birthday up to 21. Maybe sing some Christmas Carols (or whatever religion you might practice). Try to do some videos that would be joke related, meaning you provide the joke on video (and then pause) your wife responds (in real life) and you provide punch line (on video). Might actually great fun.
Doesn't the Stingray impersonate a cell tower? Meaning when the cops are driving around with the Stingray unit on, don't the cellphones all try to connect to the Stingray? What if someone needed to call 911?
I believe that a portion of the premiums that I pay go to a state uninsured fund, that hospitals draw from to pay for uninsured people that visit the emergency room.
With everyone having insurance now, there would no longer be a need for the state to collect and disperse the funds.
Of course I am talking about the state of Maryland, so if the funds are no longer needed for uninsured, the state will flush the money down Baltimore.
When I leave the cash register at Best Buy, I immediately look for the security guy at the exit, wait until I have eye contact, and then shove the receipt down inside my pants. I have never had one ask to see the receipt.

A union can also help with the understaffing problem.
By converting the understaffed problem into an overstaffed problem?
I would mind being a "mindless vegetable", but if I were a "mindless vegetable" would I mind?
You could read that??
I have had 6 surgeries on my left knee.
On my right knee, I once wrote "Other knee".
Another time I wrote "Why did you look here?".
I thought that every time I have done an update, I am required to input my PIN.
How can they update the OS if the phone requires the PIN?
Apple should tell the FBI, that it will take 15 months to develop the new custom OS.
Might not be so expensive as you thought?

If the copyright is good for 95 years, wouldn't that mean the date would be 1920 and earlier?
Passive sonar used on submarines is exactly how surface ships are detected.

You ever walk on top of the food?
And how much food can you store on a submarine before it needs to go up to the surface and resupply ?
180 days

You're lucky! Maryland taxes you on rain.
Somehow, Maryland is going to tax its citizens for the rising tide.
The State is already taxing its citizens for rain.
I would think that your premiums should go down.
I believe that a portion of the premiums that I pay go to a state uninsured fund, that hospitals draw from to pay for uninsured people that visit the emergency room.
