I could see about 80% of drivers being better than median. It's hard to be a really good driver, but there no bottom on bad.
Sounds like they are trying to shift blame to me.
What did YOU DO?
RedHat/Fedora has a weekly cron,
ZFS has a scrub command, but it's not scheduled automatically on FreeBSD. This is a combined test & repair command, since ZFS has the checksum information to know which disk is wrong.
Regardless of the hard/soft RAID with a scheduled check or patrol, you should also be running smartd.
I've had a bit of practice, but it's really not that hard. This is no craft brew, and certainly not a time honored family recipe. It is tasty on a hot day.
The most important step is cleanliness. Make sure everything is visually clean, and not scratched. Make sure everything has been in good contact with the dilute bleach. Make sure the bleach is well rinsed before it touches the ingredients/beer. If the beer gets moldy, or doesn't look/smell like beer when you're done, don't drink it.
There a many different techniques and gadgets for every step in that process. Every step can be expanded and customized to make the beer more uniquely yours. You will get better results with better equipment and a better process. But you dont' have too. This process, plus a can of pre-hopped extract will reliably make decent beer. It's not good beer, but it's better and cheaper than american mass-brews. This process costs US$20-30 to setup, and about $20-25 for 2 cases of beer. If you're really cheap, you can make it cheaper (use a growler instead of bottles+caps; use sugar instead of DME).
If you're interested, I recommend Complete Joy of Home Brewing. If you're already a brewer, and you don't believe me that you can make beer with this setup, then I recommend The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible.
I don't generally like the idea of giving DNA samples to anyone.
I only give DNA samples when they're covered by Spousal Privilege.
My FasTrak provider offers RF shielding bags. IIRC, the traffic flow tracking was mentioned in the mounting instructions, with suggestions on how to properly use the shielding bags.
We took a wait and see approach.
When the first study came up saying there was a link, we did a risk/reward scenario. If we vaccinated, there was an increased chance of autism. If we didn't vaccinated, there was very little increased risk (herd immunity hadn't been compromised yet). Neither one of us is a biologist, so we were in no position to evaluate the study. We talked to several doctors, half of which also choose not to vaccinate their children. As a bonus, this path gave us more options: we could always change our mind later, but you can't un-vaccinate.
Several new study come out saying that the first study was full of shite. The risk is much lower, because the current known side effects all have a much lower probability. At this point, we had all of our children vaccinated.
Isn't that what critical thinking is? Evaluating information, making the best decisions you can, and re-evaluating things when the information changes?
That's not entirely true. The US's laws are based on the English Legal system, and include precedents set in England before the US seceded.
From Wikipedia
The actual substance of English law was formally "received" into the United States in several ways. First, all U.S. states except Louisiana have enacted "reception statutes" which generally state that the common law of England (particularly judge-made law) is the law of the state to the extent that it is not repugnant to domestic law or indigenous conditions.[20] Some reception statutes impose a specific cutoff date for reception, such as the date of a colony's founding, while others are deliberately vague.[21] Thus, contemporary U.S. courts often cite pre-Revolution cases when discussing the evolution of an ancient judge-made common law principle into its modern form,[21] such as the heightened duty of care traditionally imposed upon common carriers.[22]
I interpret that to mean that the Magna Carta itself is not US law, but the judical decisions that resulted from the document are. But then, I don't even qualify as an armchair lawyer, so consult your own legal representative before oppressing the serfs.
