Wasn't particularly rare when I was in middle school and would've been odd not to in secondary. Bet it's only more common now. There's also non-bank pre-pay cash cards such as Henry I think one's called, so parent l

Why an extra slip? Just link it to passport/travel document or boarding pass (it already is). It could be something like a cable that clasps a handle and is attached to the carousel, a few points around it have a scanner, once you see

Yeah, again today with pricepertoken.com's ShowHN :/ - no chance to do a captcha or anything it just doesn't load in the first place.

It's intentional. Imagine a blog post 'How I whizzed foobars to optimise my Home Assistant garbage collection' - it's unnecessary filler. I agree it has times like this it doesn't work and makes the title worse thou

Sure, there are scenarios. Article describes a classroom or briefing type situation though, it's holstered but on the desk. This is not someone on duty guarding anything.

Sure. Please understand my comment in context replying to that above it - that 'of course there was a round in the chamber because that's how you do concealed carry'.

That may be your rule, for all I know it's the USAF's rule, but it's not the British Army's, and it doesn't seem logical to me in a military context. (I probably agree with you in the context of 'out in public

And what's the reason for USAF personnel to conceal carry on a USAF base? Article doesn't even suggest it was.

'unable to connect' - are you geoblocking me (UK) or something? I had this with something else here recently, who's it hosted with if you don't mind?

It's just the US-skew I think, Americans (cold war hangover perhaps?) seem to me to make much more of 'capitalism' as a concept that is common for people to have a binary opinion on; if you've noticed a recent change I&#

Any collectible really? It's just that jewels ( they're minerals, Marie! ) used to be a more common one.

I'm by no means a super keen or heavy user, I've barely dabbled really, but if we were hiring at the moment I think I'd ask about it - it's suddenly a huge part of understanding how a person works and what they might be

Ah I see, fair enough I suppose. Quite nice for catching bugs though to be honest - since you'll hit an error and realise you need to handle the None case appropriately, rather than a more subtle 'None' appearing somewhere bu

It very much is true: I am 'I' and that is what I [don't] 'think'. Statements I didn't make like 'it has never ever been detected at any level in ...' may well not be true, but on the scale of risks
