That’s not happening today. I meant how is it happening today, such that it can only ever happen when you dial 911?

How would that work?

It’s an interesting question. After all we were using electricity, batteries, electric motors, radios and telegraphs long before we ever discovered electrons and photons. But discovering the electron was necessary for us to develop vacuum t

What does “destroy the system” mean here?

I don’t know of any recycled polymer that doesn’t have at least somewhat compromised durability. Doesn’t mean it’s useless though

I prefer a jury of us peers. Would you rather them tried by a colonel at Fort Bragg, or 12 Minneapolitans?
