Well played, Sir. Well played.

Slackware -> Ubuntu (about 10 minutes) -> Slackware

Don't forget the highly profitable DUI/DWI and drug offense markets that will dry up.

I was adjusting the alarm on my phone by a few minutes the other day and when I changed the alarm time a dialog popped up that said "The alarm will go off in 23 hours and 36 minutes."

I thought to myself, "Shit, why so soon...."

I'll be damned...

As opposed to tame bacteria?

Poor choice of words on my part. I should have worded it: "Which I would understand."

In any case, I find the way you claim to be willing to write off your child's well being and/or life disturbing to say the least. This tells me either that you are a troll, not a parent, or your views are not aligned with USian cultural norms.

I was mostly playing devil's advocate, but since you are so adamant I am going to have to call bullshit on that. While your rhetoric is noble, I would put good money that you would bring suit to anyone and everyone even remotely connected to the situation. As is appropriate.

If what you are saying is true and you actually do have progeny of your own, I am quite surprised at your willingness to accept the demise or disfigurement of your child.

There *is* risk associated with vaccinations, common belief is that the benefits outweigh the risks. But! Let me ask you this. If *your* child happened to be the one who had a severe reaction to a vaccination that caused great harm or death, would you be satisfied with "taking one for the team"?

How long did it take for the cord to detach?

My wife preforms placenta encapsulation as a service. Her business has steadily increased over the past year and she is doing 3-6 per month now.

Strangely enough, "DWI Checkpoints" were ruled unconstitutional by the Texas courts in 1994. The busy-bodies in Austin have introduced pro-checkpoint legislation in every session since, but it has yet to become law.

The latest rage in the DWI industry down here is the "No Refusal" gig. You can refuse the field sobriety tests and breathalyzer. Pre-No Refusal you would get thrown in jail and battle it out, you vs. the cop, in court at a later date. This caused embarrassment to the county DAs and hurt the law enforcement ROI as the police generally make many mistakes and a subset of juries are hostile towards government in general.

With No-Refusal in effect, if you refuse the traditional tests you will be asked to give consent to allow your blood to be drawn. If you do not give consent, a judge will issue a warrant for your blood and it will be taken from you.
