I live in the bad part of town! I could see entering my home location and the car saying "I can't let you do that, Dave".
I had one class in assembly, and never used it since. But my knowledge of it helped me understand why an early COBOL program went wonky (a messed up subscript caused me to write outside a table), and knowing how data was stored at a low level helped me track various data-format problems.
Last time I googled myself, I saw several FB accounts on the first page. They all were spelled just like my real name, but none of them were me (I have an account, but it wasn't on the first or second page on Google)

I hope your phone doesn't collect anything from THERE! Remind me never to borrow your phone!
There aren't that many "coldest on record" events happening.
Really? We broke record lows just this morning. And our last month has been well below average.
Yes, I realize my above was BS, but so is the "it's hot so it's GW" statements.
I don't have a dryer, but that has nothing to do with GW. My crap dryer broke down twice within a few months. The second time I said "The hell with this", hung clotheslines in my basement, and have been using them ever since. No repair bills, lower electric, and only a small wait time before the clothes are dry anyway.
