Additionally, love is, and should be treated as, a verb. If you don't feel "love" towards your partner anymore, go and love them instead.
One thing that comes to mind is that the wiper functionality has to be accessed from the center console touchscreen, and generally when you need it on you need it right then.
I didn't watch the entire movie, just that clip- but I think that if you consider it slightly differently, the only winning move is not to launch,
because everyone will die. If you don't have enough stuff to make sure everyone dies, then there is a chance of a winning move that results in some percentage of one party's population surviving and as a result they might take that chance.
IMO, As a U.S. President, Reagan made the right decision to keep pushing, especially considering that he knew to some extent that the Soviets, their enemies, couldn't keep up forever financially. It's a really really cold calculation, but one that worked out.
As we stand now, I think that privacy is on the losing side here, unfortunately- at the end of the day, we're up against our own and other governments, some of which have quite authoritarian regimes and have absolutely zero problems with at the very least using force to acquire funding.
In WarGames, the only way to win is "not to play" when the playing field is level- this playing field is not level- to be able to beat this off, we need to be able to level the playing field somehow. Maybe I'm not smart enough or just can't see something, but I frankly don't know how that would be possible.
...holy cow, that's dark.
I think the worst part for me was that when I went to sign in to GitHub the only thing it asked me for was my private email address. Dude, what?
I have properly clinically diagnosed ADHD- for me in HS there was a definite correlation between time spent exercising and grades- when the sports season ended, there was almost always a dip in my grades from tests and the like two weeks later. Call it anecdata if you will, but there's got to be at least some sort of correlation between exercise and mental state- I doubt it's just a thing for people with ADHD, either.
One of the things that worries me with UBI is that the somewhat-better-off people without a moral compass- for instance, slumlords- will raise rent and eat really far into other people's UBI because they know everyone gets it and needs a place to live, thus keeping them from being able to save up to afford even a modest "starter home". Like GPU scalpers, they provide very little value and charge a lot for their services. There's a small group of people in my town that really do the poor in via rent
already without so much as a care about the quality of housing they provide, and I fear that one of the unintended effects of UBI is that the slumlord class will get a ton more money without doing anything to improve other people's lives.
TL;DR: my fear with UBI is that unscrupulous people will do unfair things like significantly raise rent to eat into other people's free money thus leaving the poor in the same spot, more or less.
IIRC, when you set up an Apple device you agree that you're basically leasing out the hardware or something like that, which is IMO a big wad of baloney.
I've seen people doing that on the highway, too! It appears to generally be one gesture, and occasionally the horn is used for greater emphasis.
My guess is that some product manager somewhere realized that if they only offered the bulb housing assembly they could make a bit higher profit margins
OTOH, you can wind up with stuff like installing an OS that requires more than the device has to offer- like installing the most recent version of Ubuntu Desktop on a Intel Core2 Duo isn't going to go well, nor did installing iOS 7 on iPhone 4's- which I remember eagerly installing without realizing the major slowdown all the new features added that I couldn't undo.
