I want to say that based on your response, I don't believe that you are arguing in good faith, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I didn't change the subject. I rejected your claim that touching someone without permiss

First, touching someone without permission isn't a micro-aggression. Depending on the jurisdiction, the location of the unwanted touching, and the age or power disparity between the two, it can range from harassment to assault. The fa

Yes. The expectation isn't that you actually adopt or accept the values. The expectation is that you know that if you fail to do so (and you lack sufficient privilege in your organization), then you will be held accountable. Practical

Yes. It's worth noting that you can take almost any software from before the late 90s to early 2000s, depending on the vendor, that is still available, and with a layer of emulation get it running in minutes. The vast majority of softw

To detect cosmic rays? I doubt it; detecting them would be possible, but pointless since you couldn't reasonably act on the information - any such solution would probably need Heisenberg compensators since the tools to detect the radi
