My uncle managed to get into a nuclear power plant with the wrong clearance tag. He was working on two facilities and grabbed the wrong tag when leaving the office. What he said was scariest is that anyone with access to a commercial printe

Speaking as a construction worker, you'd be quite surprised how easy it is to get into places you generally shouldn't with no one asking questions. I don't wear a company uniform and I've gotten onto the roofs of buildin

Maybe if you're lying about your app and policies, it's probably not a good idea to bring a newspaper into your offices! Especially when its blatently obvious you're looking to use your app to either blackmail or leak this in

No this is not known as terrorism, its known as raiding. This practice was widespread and common in the Border Region of England and Scotland. The Border Reivers was a culture with established rules for their conduct. Night time raids would

From what I've seen the biggest issue is that people do it for the money, which I think is likely the primary cause for physical abuse in the system. I think sexual abuse in the system comes from the targeting of at risk youths, which

Except there was the Italian politician a couple years ago who was arrested because he dragged his kid back into a restaurant by his collar. Social Services tried to take his kid away until it came out who he was. I'm not assuming my e

The UK system was similar. It alternated between being ineffective and overzealous. Either kids were left with abusers until something horrendous happened, or kids were too willingly taken from homes and put into the foster system where ine

I highly doubt it if the children are simply being yanked out of their homes simply for being spanked. That's an abhorent practice, and everything I've heard about Sweden's practice leads me to believe it is abhorrent (it hol

I think you're imagining things because they're almost identical and the nexus 5 is actually slightly narrower. I've held both and they feel identical. Same vertical and horizontal dimensions and same weight. The thickness is

With autobrake and safe following distance, even approaching 25% of cars using the systems would drastically reduce the amount of multi-car pileups. I think a recent one in the news was 20+ cars. If just one of those cars had autobrake and

It's common in the keto dieters. The trick seems to be finding yourself a loose weekly meal plan (5 meals you would be happy eating every weekday for a season) and freeze portioned sauces - my mother in law uses zip lock bags as they f

Yeah the western countries seemed to kind of highball the prices. Average expense based on Statistics Canada puts the expenditure at 7,000 per annum, which works out to $130 a week, which is about on par with me and my wife's expenditu

You're correct and these "art started xx,000 years ago" are kind of laughable. Yes the first instance of preserved art is from that date. However, it's a fossil. Do we assume our ancestors sat around the camp fire sudden

Yeah, cities bidding is like investors bidding. They're looking at ROI's in more than just the monetary terms. However, if you walk into a board room and ask for a billion dollars they're going to tell you yo get out.

That was in my mind when I posted. I live in Ontario, so the news has kept positive about the Olympics influence, and with family from the UK I've heard similar on the Olympic Village in London. I mean London is trying to convert dockl
