Many modern cars only check for the fob on startup, so you can drive away without the fob but as soon as you turn the car off, you are stuck.

I found this out the hard way by dropping my partner and his keys off at a Dr office and then driving away.

IDK why it doesn't check for fob before engaging Drive, as would seem sensible.

I was coming here to say this. Before NewEgg, the best way to buy computer parts was to show up at a conventions center or fairgrounds, firehall or community college for the next Computer Show. Buy some parts in cash from people who speak barely any English and then either take it all home and start assembling or hand it off to the ancient guy chain-smoking at the back door and pay him to zip-tie it together in 5 minutes for you.

Years and years of doing this and we only had one situation when we cracked the case later and found out the guy has swapped the parts we bought for used Dell components when we were at lunch. Always took them home after that.

He was living in the UK studying on a football scholarship. I can't imagine the cultural shock of moving from rural Thailand to the UK much less doing it with the tough after effects of such a traumatic experience.

You mean to tell me that it's too much trouble for them to keep track of their own leadership and bishops to remember which have been accused of misbehavior and sexual abuse, but they totally have the time and capacity to keep track of which church members had a sex change and then group them with the empty file of sex abusers to was too troublesome to keep?

Oh wow. No one ever asks about my undergrad grades anymore. It was a study-abroad in London, UK at Goldsmith's college. I got whatever a UK "D" was at the time, a 55 or something. Thankfully I came with a study-abroad program guide who gave us a "US Grade Equivalent" sheet at the start which said that was a passing grade and I didn't worry about it. For the course "Animals In Medieval Art and Literature" which became 3 credits of Anthropology at my local state university in the United States toward a Bachelor's in Science the following year. I entered grad school 4 months after that in an unrelated field and never used this knowledge for anything but trivia since.

Ha! I wrote a paper about the meaning of dragons for a undergrad anthropology college course in 2003 and I cited the heck out of this book. Also Mythical Beasts edited by John Cherry.

Search and Rescue dogs are generally owned and trained by specialized dog trainers, not the cops. The scent-tracking skills for following people are differently trained from drug and explosives detecting dogs Basically a search dog needs to walk towards and follow what they smell, and a detecting dog needs to sit down when they catch a smell so they have different training methods.

Source; Hung out with Search and Rescue dog trainers and listened to them carefully not directly talk shit about the police dogs.

I saw that roll-up piano she's playing in this episide when I was a kid and I was in love with it. I don't even play piano but the idea of flexible, roll-up electronics stuck with me over the decades.

The American attitude that children are a lifelong punishment for having sex, and no one should ever expend any effort or a cent of money on a child they didn't personally fuck into existence?

Example of failed post

Logitech's desire to put AI in my IO devices is exactly why I am moving to a different manufacturer. I want solid hardware, not hardware as a service. HP also is trying this with printers and it's total bullshit.

If I am paying a monthly fee, I'd better not also have to buy garbage hardware. That better be provided for free and replaced when it inevitably fails.

"Expatriate" is from the Latin "expatriatus" and meaning to leave the country of one's origins or father specifically. It started in the 18th century as a word for exile, especially self-imposed exile; but now represents all those living in a country other than that of their birth.
