> does''t knock off more than a semester

That is a lie. Why would you pick classes that wouldn't transfer? Only a moron would decide to take four semesters of classes that doesn't transfer. You're full of crap.

When I taught at Tri-County Tech, nearly all of my student's credits would transfer to real schools. Our classes were stupid easy and you got credit for some very hard college classes. It was a great scam for the students.

If a hacker wants to pwn my thermostat, that's probably the least of my problems.

That depends on the type of heat. The vast majority of the Pacific Northwest has electric baseboard heat. In fact in over forty-five years of living here, I've never seen a house, condo, or apartment without it. Even the lowest power ones can get hot enough to light wood on fire. The thermostats are the only thing stopping them from starting fires. It's very common around here to see scorch marks on carpets or walls from the electric heater getting too hot. Also, there's typically beds or other furniture not far from the heater that could be lit if someone turned the setting up far above normal.

> "this device no longer exists or is offline" (WiFi sync)

I used to work for a company that did sounds for games and sometimes for commercials. We copied hundreds of sound files to iDevices for QA, management, and customers every single day, and not once did I see the WiFi sync work. It is a disaster, and Apple should feel bad for deciding to release something that simply doesn't work.

Exactly. This is a scam by the Republicans to increase the number of accidents. Accidents are very profitable because of the expensive repairs and/or replacement cars bought plus the cost of medical are. After my last accident when I was rear ended, my ER bill was over $8,500 for a few seconds with a doctor. I had minimal damage to my car, but it still cost over $2,500 in repairs. The towing company, owned by a white supremacist Republican politician, cost nearly $750. The entire thing is setup to be very profitable to the Republicans.

It's not a myth. In Republican-ruled cities there are daily gun battles in the streets. I read about them daily here in Seattle because we have legal open carry. There are so many Republicans around here that at least weekly you'll see a gun in a Starbucks. They are so violent. It's not safe to try terrorism in this country because of the number of guns. It's so sad that this country is too dangerous for even terrorists.

Cuba is still more free than this hellhole of a Republican-ruled country. They don't have the largest army in the world going door to door arresting people for not being white. You can't even check a book out of the library now without alerting the Republicans. People like Rubio object to this because they are racists. He hates Cuba and wants the people there to die. That is why he is on all of the news channels today whining about it and demanding the death of Cubans. That is the way of his kind.
