"End users who know better" are the "parents who have done their research about vaccines" in the mobile device world.
You win the Internet today. Unfortunately, you posted AC, so we can't send you your prize.
Another example to doubt this claim: if anyone uses the Shopify POS App, you probably see that as you do more transactions with the swiper, the app gets slower and slower...and if you close and restart the app, it works fine again. Maybe this is true with some Apps, but I don't think you can say with all Apps...
That's due to crappy programming. They probably have a huge memory leak in their code. Killing the app reclaims the leaked memory. That's a whole other story. The article is about power savings, not crappy apps.
The best email I ever got: a woman who thought I was a plastic surgeon, and wanted a boob job for her teenage daughter. And one for herself. And a vaginoplasty. I kid you not.
You should have offered an in-home consultation - for a fee.
The problem is that there are so many people that just a typo will do it. This is why big email aggregators are a bad idea (there are reasons why they are a good idea, of course, or they wouldn't exist, but this is one of the reasons why they aren't).
Unfortunately there is no way to prevent these--there's no test that will reveal them as errors.
No, some people are just doing it wrong. Don't use your fucking name! I use @gmail.com. Got that way back when gmail was invite only. I've never gotten someone else's email by typo or duplicate.
So, you admit that people murder even though it is against the law?
In spite of what you might see in the movies no government entity issues licenses to kill.
Would you believe that there are 10 states in the USA that do not require a license to carry dangerous weapons like firearms? You shouldn't because the actual number is closer to 30. This wasn't always the case but people realized that the license did not make people safe, training did, enforcement did. People don't need a license to get training, and the police don't need people with pieces of plastic in their pockets to enforce the law.
You fail to understand that licensing is what is used to indicate that training has occurred. Without it, how does one know if training has occurred?
Why wouldn't a career politician want a shot at being VP? Granted, it's kind of the 1st Runner Up Consolation Prize in the political beauty pageant, but if that's as close as you think you'll ever get, then I guess you take it. There's also the possibility that the GOP knew a populist Trump was their only way in, knew he'd probably get ousted at some point, maybe even planned on throwing him under the bus when the time was right, so they'd get Dominionist ultra-conservative Pence in the Big Chair. It's a bit Machiavellian but it's plausible.
I don't think the GOP necessarily wanted Trump at all, I was just talking about Pence's reason for taking the VP. Most people thought Trump was a third rail and would kill your political future. If Trump had lost, would Pence ever be heard from again?
So, you admit that people can and do drive without a license? Also, you admit they had a license, and still drove poorly? I mean you cannot revoke a license if they had none in the first place.
If we cannot keep people from driving without a license then what purpose do they serve? It's not like the presence of the license makes them drive safely. All we are doing is making life inconvenient for the safe drivers. If at some point they prove to no longer be able to drive safely they are "asked" to not drive any more by taking away their license. We don't need the licensee to ask people to drive safely, or to ask them to not drive if they are incapable of driving safely.
Drivers are only a problem if they fail to drive safely, and we don't need a piece of plastic in their pocket to enforce safe driving.
So, you admit that people murder even though it is against the law? If we cannot keep people from killing what purpose does a law against it serve? It's not like a law against murder makes them not kill.
A licensing process shows that people are at least somewhat competent at driving. When they cease to be competent, their license is revoked so that they no longer permitted to drive. Eliminating licensing would definitely increase both the number of incompetent drivers and the level of incompetence.
Did you notice that Pence lawyered up a while back? He, apparently, is not completely stupid: he sees how much of a liability being involved with the current administration is to his political career and saw fit to get ahead of the whole thing as soon as possible; he's a career politician, through-and-through. Five bucks says when the axe falls, he's going to be standing aside of the conflagration, yelling like Ashe in the Bruce Campbell version of Army of Darkness "..hey, I don't even KNOW these assholes!". He'll step aside, co-operate fully with any further Senate an FBI investigations, and try to walk away as cleanly as possible -- or at least I hope that's what happens. I don't think Mike Pence should be POTUS, especially by default.
Of course Pence shouldn't be POTUS, much like Trump shouldn't be POTUS, but Pence is smart enough to be still standing when Trump gets the axe. I wonder if that's why he even agreed to be VPOTUS in the first place.
I guess I'm kinder than you are about it. Some of them 'think he can do no wrong'; some of them, as usual, thought he was the 'least worst' of two choices, and many of those are now regretting it, but keeping their heads down and their mouths shut, because they don't want to deal with it. Then there's some who thought he could be controlled, and they're finding out how wrong they were, too. HIs approval rating is currently 39% and dropping. As the reality sinks in it'll just get worse, and when all his promises and schemes are shown to be nonsense, the bottom will drop out. My greatest fear at this point is when they inevitably find the allegations of collusion are true and have to start removing the administration. I don't know what provisions we have in our system of government to handle something on that scale. Guess we'd have the Speaker of the House as POTUS?
If Ryan thought he could pull it off, I'm sure he'd go for it. But I suspect that Ryan doesn't think he has a realistic chance of getting rid of Pence, even if he could get rid of Trump. They're just thinking they can get their tax cuts passed with Trump; nothing else matters as much to them, though a few more right-wingers on SCOTUS is surely on their wish list.
There is no other way to put this: This is an ASSHOLE move by an ASSHOLE 'administration' being led by an ASSHOLE 'President' who continually demonstrates through actions that they don't give a flying FUCK about the average citizen, they only care about their agendas and their corporate and 1%-er cronies. Finding that they've been in bed with Russia the whole time and throwing the entire administration out on their ear can't come soon enough. 2020 elections can't come soon enough. How are you Trump-supporting idiots liking him and his minions now? You all like your privacy AT LEAST AS MUCH AS I DO, and they just took a BIG STEAMING DUMP all over the entire CONCEPT of your privacy, HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
I don't think you understand his supporters. Haven't you noticed by now that they think he can do no wrong. No matter how bad it is, they don't care. He, himself, had it right when he said he could shoot someone in broad daylight and lose no voters. His supporters are just plain idiots and there's pretty much nothing you or anyone else can do about it.
By most estimates there are millions of people driving without a license in the USA today. Seems to me that they are likely some of the safest drivers out there because they don't want to get caught.
Um, no. Many people driving without licenses do that because their license was revoked - and for good reason, like being a habitual drunk driver and smashing into things all the time.
I imagine a large portion of the population don't even think much of the nonsense to show a driver license to get into a bar or buy a six pack at the grocery store.
I haven't shown an ID to buy alcohol in probably 25 years. Gray hair does that to you. Oh, and get off my lawn!
Pretty soon, enough weak-minded people will believe this and plead with the government to please come and take their cash and replace it with something that leaves an audit trail.
Says the paranoid. Cash is just a nuisance. I have to get it from the bank or ATM (staked out by robbers) and manage how much is in my wallet. When I use a credit card, I get "cash back" ranging from 1% to 5%. I often get cards with 0% financing for up to 18 months. When a CC is stolen, the bank does all the work - I've had bad charges on my cards many times and have never had to do more than call the issuing bank or fax in a receipt. I don't give a flying fuck what the government or anyone else says about using cash or CC; I know that with CC's I get: cash back on all purchases, interest-free short-term loans; no unscheduled stops at the ATM.
Remember to say hello to your bank teller.
