If it was found, that is. If the metal detector does not see it, how do you think it was supposed to be found?

I don't think a typical metal detector can distinguish between metal in my arm and metal taped to my arm.

As someone who carries a 20 cm metal rod through airport security every time and has not seen a single warning light ever popping up because of that, it is quite difficult for me to understand how the airport security is supposed to a

Sometimes I wonder why there are so many people advocating three strike and out laws, but never against corporations. Would be interesting if the third fine would be so large that shareholders are wiped out and debt holders are left with sc

I have been years frustrated with this question. In the old days I used to do web2py for my simple crud projects. That included lots of boilerplate code, creating a crud form was very simple (if I recall correctly, one row of code if you we

You seem to imply EU regulators do not require european banks to "comply with basic financial corruption protections". Any source to that? What comes to european banks not wanting to do anything with US related entities, my unders

Nope. Metal & wood etc should be owned because it very much looks like that is very useful in creating lots of welfare for people. The trouble with IP is that there are lots of influential people that very much would like IP to be usefu

I think the principle is pretty pervasive also outside medicals. I do not recall anyone ever refer to my left hand as right hand (other than maybe by mistake), regardless how they are oriented around me.

I can see how that might destroy many business models. But from the top of my head I can't come up with any whose loss would have a dramatic negative effect on my wellbeing. Could someone elaborate why I should be worried?

Coyld you elaborate what development happened in the last 5 years that would not have happened if it was required that your battery/motor fits into one of handful standard brackets and talks (at least) standard messages?

Shimano warranty is 2 years. I'm close to a small rental operation, and they had 3 out of eight motors blown within the first 2 years. 1500-6000 km on the odo.

No. Especially compared to known alternatives, very much including crypto. Or then we have a very different definition of "complete mess". For the record, I have no reason to doubt the value of my savings account fluctuates wildly
