Wow! That's actually really interesting! but... It still doesn't provide for the reality that most large chains are fairly efficient, and optimized to begin with, resulting in most tasks being dumbed down to the point that actua

This is a rare case where multi-factor authentication, and the option to involve biometrics as hardened sub-layer auth, would be nice. To be adequately effective, though, all back-up activities would require the full authentication credenti

I think the signal that the AI bot has identified is very likely to be related to the effects of differing hormonal exchanges and releases over long periods of time. We know that hormonal derivatives like steroids can influence appearance,

If I don't like what a computer is doing, I will frequently just yank the plug, pull the battery, flip the circuit breaker, and fuck the rest. All this buffering and fault tolerance is bullshit at the consumer level. If the disk's
