This is how mail works. Follow the RFC or you're wrong. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321 I haven't read the article, but SMTP response codes are very specific. If there were SMTP response codes in the 5xx

You are literally misrepresenting things, by quoting the first sentence of the abstract Wrong. As I said, it is at the start of the paper . It is not the first sentence. Your statement is inaccurate. without apparently reading any

Absurd. Right from the start of the paper: Traditional traffic engineers argue a wider lane is safer. Although every engineering standard publication (FHWA 2011; TAC 1999) identifies pavement width as the most influential safety feature, d

What the? Speed limits where I live are lower than they should be, not higher. Painting is designed to aid drivers, and improve safety, not induce greater speed. Speed limits are enforced, for people receive tickets all the time. There

Legality is not relevant. Morality is. Do not conflate the two, for they are not the same. Example: society, and yes democratic ones, once told black people that they had no rights ; that they were animals; livestock. They also told Je

Not even remotely true. The world has responded with "lockdowns", "masks", and more, which is the result of an unprecedented, 100 year class event, that being a pandemic. Your comment isn't really about normality,

They are also set for other reasons, like "Bob complained a lot, because of the noise of cars", and the limit gets reduced. Or "this road was quiet 20+ years ago", but the city has grown, and now it is a major throughfar

The "when you do $x, you drain society's emergency resources" is, IMO, an absurd argument. If this is true, then you need to point the finger at so many things. Rock-climbing. Mountain biking. And it progresses, to "a

One thing which hit me when reading it, was the cache of email addresses, all to receive this 'Canadian Eyes Only' and 'Secret'. For anyone, it creates a chain of people who are ... required? Important enough? Need to

Can you write a counter article? Unfortunately, I'm incredibly handsome, charismatic, and just generally awesome, and as a result this keeps happening to me. There's always lots of drama when I just want to remain co-workers, and

No bank photocopies ID in Canada. Ever. A secret is a thing you do not share with another. What do you think PII laws say? Don't share! I don't see the point in continuing here. You merely wish to try to change the meaning of

Your ID is most certainly secret. There are acts all over the world, protecting Personal Identifiable Information (Pii). ID, as it includes things like name, address, sex, height, weight, age, eye colour, signature, falls under a variety

I don't show my ID to "anyone asking for it", but to those whom I choose. Further, it is not a "public document". If it were public, I could demand that (for example) the license bureau give me a copy of yours. As

Uh, what? You've never heard of identity theft? Or did you ask the same question after Equifax was hacked? I'm not sure I can take that question seriously. As for ID or no ID, it seems odd that demanding ID, still ends up with a

I use vrbo.com, as I will never ever give my ID to an online platform to "scan" and "verify". Regardless of statements of "But we delete it after" and "it's safe", time has shown me, again and

Hmm. My post to which you are replying, directly discusses political differences, stances on specific topics, that sort of thing. Viewed externally, much of the world cannot see a difference here. Put another way, the differences between U

I guess this is political-ish now, but yes. I'm a Canuck, and frankly most differences between US political parties is barely tangible. For many parts of the world, with real political differences, the US left and right appear compl

Radicalization is the style of the time! Their side is heinous, evil, and kills babies. Our side is just, wondrous, and angel like. Thus, they enslave, we strive to break free, and bask in the pure bliss our utter and complete correctness

Yes, and this is a serious problem. It seems to be one camp or the other, blind fear or blind approval, with little room for thought. I honestly hate anti-vaxxers with incredible intensity now. Before they were an annoyance, now they have
