People in the hurricane are not necessarily who I was talking about. I was not affected by a hurricane other than gasoline in my area has increased 80 cents a gallon in ten days. Any person who purchases gasoline has been impacted. I am

And a major electric company in our area was having such a problem with late payments that they started a program that allowed people who received social security to submit documentation and their bill could be deducted from their account a

I have worked with people with disabilities the majority of my career. I wish this was an extreme example. I could probably name upwards of 2,000 people just in my area of the state that have this very problem monthly. And that is just o

And it is forbidden to ask more than if the individual has a disability and what task the dog is trained to perform. There can be nothing more discussed and denial of service to a disabled individual who is accompanied by a service dog (no

Really? Are you aware that children who are born with permanent disabilities draw Supplemental Security Income (basically a form of welfare through Social Security based on their disability) once they turn 18. Most of these individuals ar

Okay, but what if you are on disability and your check is 5 days, for example, after the due date. Do you really think they are going to give you an extension every month? I use to work with people with disabilities and believe me, this h

Surely you jest ...."use a credit card"???? Most people who are poor don't even have bank accounts because they cannot manage them or they cannot afford the monthly fee. And no, bank accounts are not universally free if you

I am just saying that something as obscure as a hurricane can throw a family with no safety net into a free fall financially. But for better examples, 1. You get the flu and miss a days work. 2. Your child needs their teeth cleaned or wor

And if a person is even capable of holding a job they need supports through waivers to do the work and keep the job let alone get to their job. These waivers have unreasonably long waiting lists (10-20 years in a number of states). Plus t

Or a hurricane comes through and gas jumps to $3.00 a gallon and you have to buy diapers w your last $15 so now you have to choose. Or heaven forbid you get the flu and miss a day or two of work....you don't work then you don't g

Thanks for this info. I forgot about the No Salt and Salt trick in water from my running days, but it really does work. Thanks for this reminder because hydration is really the key to success in fasting.

This is interesting. Overall I had a pretty healthy diet prior to my start in fasting. I rarely ate things that contained sugar or no more than a very small amount, I did not drink carbonated drinks (although I drank green tea), but I LOV

I have done this for the past several years and it has helped tremendously with weight control but has vastly improved energy. The onset of the headaches is intense to say the least but stay the course as it is really worth it. And don&#x

Then the police need to work with the prosecutor and the prosecutor needs to bring charges and get a trial underway. Prisons are overcrowded enough and it costs a pretty penny to house prisoners without us starting to house people indefinit

Yes or you populate your team with people who think alike. This does nothing for creativity or problem solving if everyone sees everything from the same viewpoint. Think of it this way, when you hire someone...are you looking for a yes per

I am not suggesting we ban anything. What I was saying is that while being able to conduct ourselves on the web (and be tracked and all that goes with that) is fine for many, actually most, people; for some it is not. I am not suggesting

Anonymity is a good thing if you have a tech savvy abusive ex as a good friend of mine does. He has tracked her time and time again until she found a mentor to help her hide on the web. It certainly opened my eyes to legitimate uses of th

The forgone conclusion is that evidence likely exists on the drives and as such the judge issued the Writ pursuant to the All Writs Act. But to prosecute someone in a court of law it takes evidence, admissible evidence, and conclusions tha

Who is giving him benefit of the doubt? I have repeatedly said there may be child pornography on the drive or evidence of other crimes. I am simply saying there are a number of reasons he is unable or unwilling to do as he has been ordered

>It's a terrible one for actually defending the perp. I mean, come on. Who is defending him? I cannot in good conscience call him a perp as he has not been charged with, let alone convicted of, a crime. I am only pointing out tha

Or maybe he is a firm believer that there is no faster way to erode our constitutional protections than to voluntarily surrender them. Or maybe he believes that damn pesky constitution (sarcasm) applies to everyone including the government

While this may be true, the government has asked the court to order him to decrypt it as they search for those images. If they are after a bigger network of people sharing these images, then they should say so and grant him immunity or wor

Or maybe he is trying to stand his ground and preserve his right to privacy or as I said previously, maybe there is some totally unrelated crime that unlocking the external hard drive would expose.

You have tremendous insight and determination. Good job and btw, love Wade!

But that does not mean he downloaded them if someone else has access to his computer nor does that mean they are still there. I read the article to mean that the police have proof that hashes of known child pornography were downloaded and a

Agreed. Will there ever come a day that we can lay the "isms" aside and focus on what can unite us rather than jumping on that which divides us?

That is hot IMHO. Grew up in Houston where it was hot and humid. Here in Nashville it is a balmy 59 degrees today but that is the result of Harvey and we have had 2 days of nonstop drizzle/light rain.all next week it is unseasonably
