Yeah.

I already possess something that alters shape when stimulated, dramatically increasing its volume and self heals when damaged. I don't have the colour change gene though, so maybe this can be an upgrade.

"...the dollar cost of this 30 min run was high enough that they'd rather not say."

It used Bothans. Many died to bring it the information. They'd rather not say how many.

These events have been reported ever since smoking was banned on commercial jets, a lot earlier than 2010, but were dismissed as a conspiracy theory / gripe at not being able to spark up any more / fear mongering / flat out lies.

Yeah, no thanks. I already set up my own filters to tag email nearly 20 years ago and they still work fine. I didn't use the "Google will decide" categorisation when it was introduced and adding a new category isn't going to make me want to.

If you want some real training, try the "Magic Roundabout" at Hemel Hempstead: a roundabout composed of 6 smaller ones.

For variety, there's another one in Swindon.

There's a whole river that's bigger than the Amazon which could be tapped into. Trouble is, it's under the Amazon.

I'd have been classified as a disruptor and dosed to a mindless glombie by the "experts" if they'd been around when I was in elementary school. Because the schoolwork was too easy for me, my reading age was double my physical age and I was fucking bored. What can a child do but act up in those circumstances?

If there's kids between 3 and 5 years of age that don't want to be running around, then those are the ones that should be getting some variety of therapy as there's obviously something wrong, not zombiefying those who prefer to tip a pot of poster paint over than daub it on a sheet of paper.

To paraphrase Buck Russell:
I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously or "regulates their emotions" like a fucking Vulcan. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until those who deliberately choose to ignore what being a child is drag them down and convince them and their parents that they have a behavioural disorder in order to pump them full of mood suppressing pharmaceuticals and earn a nice kickback.

... there has been a data breach at the company that provides the criminal records (if any) used as part of background and employment eligibility checks...

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

In which a group of humans had idyllic lives in a non-technological paradise lorded over by a supercomputer until trigger happy Kirk came along and blew it up.

And after 400 years, they get "grown" and discover they were beaten to the planet by a more technologically advanced people and craft that only took 30 years to get there and launched far later making them essentially second rate citizens that can serve as a slave population to build New Earth for their new overlords.

Because mankind is essentially a collection of groups who are assholes to each other.

We could call them Golgafrinchans

On how you look at it.
Or if you look at it.

Why not go scorched earth? If you can destroy/ encrypt databases, you can probably destroy the systems used to access them while you're at it.
