If it was RDP, the operator would have been logged out (even if their same credential was used) as soon as the perpetrator logged in. I'm thinking something more like TeamViewer with a weak password.

This is the funniest rant I've read in ages.

...I'm sure he'd spin it as "People no longer tuning in for Fake News is Fake News".

The other, less dead, batteries forcing current through it will cause it to heat up.

It's like electrical friction.

The more internal resistance a device has, the more it's going to heat up when current is forced through it.

If it heats up enough, it might be an ignition source.

Old poem: Hush-a-bye baby, on the tree top, When you grow old, your wages will stop, When you have spent the little you made First to the Poorhouse and then to the grave

But it was. Not all indentured servants (or even most), were criminals, but many were. They didn't all go to Australia. And they weren't cut loose when the ship docked. The idea was your trip would be financed by your future labor. And they were running out of places to put the masses of poor criminals in places like London, that had staggering economic disparity. Keep in mind some of these crimes were for things like "being in debt". You might have been given a chance between a workhouse and a ticket to the new world + indentured servitude. A lot of people died in workhouses, they were not nice places. Hence why many were willing to risk being lost at sea, or having a shitty job for 10 years, because the alternative was even more bleak.

Or, make "lobbying" aka graft, illegal like it is in most other places. You can't have an effective government that can't regulate private industry at all. And that is basically what it would take to stop graft....

The same reason lots of cops are pricks, and politicians are sleazy. The wrong types of people are often attracted to positions of power. An MBA is a gateway to a position of power in the private sector. Therefore, a lot of unsavory people seek them out.

You do realize, this is loosely how they made Australia. The U.S. was a dumping ground for incorriagiables as well, but we don't talk about that much.

Just keep reversing polarity on the warp coils and you'll be fine.

I think he's trying to argue that gold has less intrinsic value than it's worth. Some of the price of gold is driven by speculation and hoarding, not actually using it.
