It's so bad today that people are actually asking for reposts...

This is not complicated, You can link Secret Service agents arm-to-arm around the White House and some nutjobs are still going to try to make a run for it.

But post just one IRS agent at each entrance and you will not have a problem again.

Wouldn't the elderly be better off on a space station? You could actually control the level of (artificial) gravity by designing it with rings and spinning the station (ref. almost every scifi story in space). They could start off at the outer layers (maybe 0.5 G equiv.?) and work their way up through the rings as their capabilities decreased. When they perish (dead ringers?) they could be released to fall back to Earth (shooting star), or on an orbit to intersect the Sun (if they need more flare) or wherever they chose.

That's an obvious solution of course, I think the holdup on it is that the test is given on dedicated Chomebooks, and they don't have enough of them to administer the test to all students at once.

AFAIK working early doesn't change your timezone, unless you're a pilot or long-distance driver (if it did I probably would have lapped my office a few times by now).

UTC-3 seems to only cover part of Greenland and Brazil, both well-known hotbeds of hacker activity. I suspect that the timezone information is as accurate as info found in random strings in the malware (BACKSNARF_AB25: darn it, time to change the combination on my luggage again...).

Or better yet change the GPS data to the coordinates of a prison or army base.

These drug companies are already raking in $XX billions on other drugs, and the cost to develop a new antibiotic could be less than some of their advertising budgets. The $2 billion might not even be enough incentive.

How about a rule like for every non-antibiotic drug that is approved by the FDA, they also need to submit one antibiotic drug for approval? That would get their attention.

But I'm only laughing because I'm not British. This would terrify me if I were British. Not that we don't have plenty of similar nuts in Congress.

Has anyone checked recently if Treddinick weighs as much as a duck? I think it's time.

Tell them that the vaccine is an update or patch to their immune system for a common exploit. Or new virus definitions, literally. They should get that.

Have they searched for unexplained sources of neutrons in our brane? I guess that might indicate a nuclear reactor (or something else interesting) one brane over.

He should get a wireless connection and put some high-voltage lines where the 'internet lines' were. Then just sit back and wait for the show to begin.

Reported a few minutes ago, all three terrorists are dead.

You're discounting range. A pen might be mightier than a sword, but its range sucks compared to a gun.

Now if a few people had flung chairs, books, hot coffee, etc. (basically anything heavy enough to do a little damage/distraction) they could undoubtedly have then rushed the gunmen with fewer losses than occurred from sitting there waiting for their name to be called.

And then the terrorists next target: Barbra Streisand.

Probably no, but not due to HOA rules. My mortgage agreement has a line in it about not taking any action to disband the HOA. Fortunately, while my HOA is far from great and has its own range of issues, it doesn't seem as bad as many mentioned here.
