What I'm reading is that none of you have been to MIT, Cal tech, Harvard, or such schools.
They have been doing the freshman pass/fail for decades.

That was page 1, to unfold it, first you get out of the car.

Knee-capping NOAA comes from The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.
The country that would benefit the most from global warming is Russia, and The Heritage Foundation has been aligning itself with pro-Russian stances for some time now.

And if the comma key is broken on your clicky mechanical keyboard, there's always the Tab key. We survived the 20th century with PCs that had 64M ram. And wired connections.

I do like the idea of building a community sourced govt official tracking network. I'm sick of govt officials, both elected officials and unelected bureaucrats, passing and implementing laws that they don't feel should apply to them.

I wouldn't favor a system that tracks cops due to the specific hazards they already face daily, but I acknowledge that some people would believe that turnabout is fair play.

The movie TRON operates on more than one level.
At the surface, it's a video game story where the player get pulled into the world of the game, and the TRON program helps battle the all-consuming MCP.
On another level, it parallels the rise/conflict/evolution between mainframes and microcomputers.

The movies will feature the Taken trilogy and transition smoothly to martial arts chop socky Tekken over the Pacific leg, instead of the entire John Wick film series or lazy programming like the security feed at Heathrow - air marshalls get on high alert when a passenger suddenly stands up and yells You basta** at the screen

True, but the esp32 microcontroller chip that's at the root of all this costs only a dollar or two, so no MBA is going to approve funding a redesign.

It's about the ESP32 microcontroller chip that's in everything.

Not DUI but DCI - driving for the cellphone impaired but I recently became semi-retired, which means my blinkers will be set to always on until such time that it can take verbal commands e.g. switch blinker off, dammit Siri!
