Thank you. That is what I thought I typed. I do have slight dyslexia.

Slashdot can't handle unicode or foreign character sets so I literally can't read that.

... and a life long drinker of soy milk, we don't really care if it's called milk or not. This is one of those "lost in translation" things. We don't call it milk ourselves. The character we use for it is basically some mostly uniform liquid type stuff that's less viscous than water but more than syrup. When soy milk was brought over to the western audience, someone, probably not a Chinese speaking person because it almost never is, translated it as soy milk. They also translated the fried dough thing that's paired with it as "chinese doughnut" even though we have fried dough concoction that's actually suppose to be sweet that's closer to a doughnut. Among the other badly translated breakfast foods are scallion/green onion pancakes, "special" rice, chinese tamale (gotta love that one. putting "chinese" in front of a spanish word), egg pancake, soup dumplings, chinese doughnut, etc.. It's almost like you guys adopted the word wontons and tofu and "that's enough expanding of the English language for these 2 millennias". Like, the only thing that was correctly translated was "pot stickers" (which is almost exactly what we call it. Directly translated, it's just "pot sticks".).

So reading this whole debate is like watching 2 self declared experts trying to out pretend the other in a debate on which horrible nickname to standardize among their peers and never just, like, asking a Chinese person, again. It's like watching the animated movie Mulan being made again.
Side note, almond milk, for us Chinese people, is also not called milk. We actually use the word "tea" for it because it's brewed.

...Panasonic's rice cooker, and their other cooking appliances kinda suck and it's kind of known. Like, they're not as reliable as Tiger for rice cookers (for me, since I'm Taiwanese, it's Tiger, Zojirushi, then Tatung.) For general steamer, it's Tatung all the way. Every Tiger rice cooker I've had lasted 10+ years at minimum. Here as other brands die at about 2~4. Not only that, Tiger brand rice cookers tend to make more fluffier rice. For me, it's less that they're being forced and rice consumption being halved and more that they just don't make that good of a rice cooker.

Ahh, thank you. I skimmed the article and missed the part about the insurance company providing another type of insurance for "cyber loss". I guess I'm getting too cynical because now I feel like this is another McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit article (as in the company that loss is clearly in the wrong but they're making a bit publicity stink about it.).

I say "people" and you assume I meant me even though I EXPLICITLY wrote previously who I meant. Yep, I'm the problem here. </sarcasm>

Seriously, keep yakking. I relish wasting your time and occupying your mental space. If I can start the new year in your brain, driving you to comment on a thread no one is reading, I've won.

Yeah, yeah. Keep yakking. That's definitely the way to win people over.

But, in the end, isn't the the direct boss or manager or HR that's responsible to make sure that the things are set up and access is removed once they're terminated? After all, if a someone gets fired and they take home a work laptop, the company is all over that sh*t. But if they walk out with a valid and active access card, that's a-okay?

Isn't that the manager's one job? To manage? Like, if they can't handle keeping track of who's on their team and what they need (the task of which, I might add, at any large company I've been in, has been more or less AUTOMATED for them to send a ticket to IT.) what good are managers?

Like most the forums I go onto these days will do a global purge for logins not being used. Heck, some of them does it automatically. How are systems made for giant companies worse at user account management than my gaming forums?

I should say, I'm not frustrated at you/op, it's just frustrating in general. Like I've been in the role of the person that adds and removes people from AD in a small to mid size company. It's not that hard to keep track since, you know, that's the whole point of AD. The fact that any manager or HR can forget to have a card deactivated is mind-blowing to me.

...reinvent customer loyalty?

So encrypting data or scrambling data isn't physical damage or loss by insurance terms, but if the ransomware hackers are caught, will they be charged with damaging data? Because I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they were charged with:
https://www.usnews.com/news/po...

You can't charge someone with something and then turn around and said that said someone's action didn't do that thing so insurance doesn't cover it. Well, I mean, you can, but it's contradictory voids the whole point of, you know, the law. Like this guy:
https://www.itpro.com/security...

He didn't hack into someone's system, he distributed ransomware, which, by this court's judgement, did no damage. Why would ransomware be illegal if it does no damage?

How is this NOT just a ploy for insurance companies to be able to NOT do the ONE THING they're meant to do? (not a rhetorical question. I'm legitimately asking.)

If what I stated was an opinion, why are you so mad about it?

And dude, if my opinion is garbage what does it say about you that can't correctly define what a terminal is to begin with? Facts don't care about your opinions, bro.

And you're literally not reading the very thing you quoted...
Me:

you:

So you suddenly decided to move from a stick and string to a recurved, laminated bow by yourself and then calling it wrong... That's literally a strawman argument. Are you a bot or have all English speakers lost the ability to observe reality and can only see and hear what they want to hear? Because this is a very disturbing trend among western people. It's a major factor why nazis and fascism is making a comeback.

I literally asked what you're talking about and you suddenly decided your the winner in a discussion that doesn't have winners and losers... You're literally just talking to yourself at this point. Well, at least now I know you're a troll that really doesn't know what they're talking about.

You know what, for the sake of fun, let me try something. *ahem*

Cured meats are as traditional a pizza topping as one can get.

That's a good point. I thought they meant the same bonds like if all bonds are in the universe are numbered and 2 snowflakes share the same numbered bond, as opposed to the same kind of bond. That might be what they meant. Thank you.

I feel like the idea has been taken too far:

Which, is impossible to the point where the snowflake part is moot. Nothing in the universe can have the exact same bonds and configurations, let alone the same exact particles.
