95% of the time the police get there, say "yep they're mentally ill, but not doing anything illegal" and leave. That last 5% is trips to jail or the hospital (or both) and there's a fraction of a percentage that ends in a shooting.
No one wants to hear about the boring stuff, though.
I'll have to dig out my 3dsxl this weekend. Still packed up from moving a few years ago.
Bet it still has a charge on it, lol
They can save money by printing half as many plates.
They still charge people the same for registration, though...
if ya gonna genetically modify a human do it to yourself.
I'm sure it's a lot easier to modify a handful of cells and let them replicate than it is to modify millions of cells...
It was a terrible thing to do, but I get it.
WrestleMania 2000 on N64 had a bug that would randomly delete all saved data.
The clone wants you to make sure you know you're being replaced.
I have seen electric typewriters that used the same tech, so it may have been a typewriter wheel you saw.

You're just below the curve of home computers becoming ubiquitous. I'm 43, and through most of middle school papers had to be handwritten in cursive.

CSI had an episode where they were tracking down all of a suspect's siblings & it turned out the killer was a chimera.
The next step of this sort of thing is:
To verify your age, we need your name, birthday, social security number, current address, phone number, and a major credit card on file.
We will store this information in plain text at databreach.gov.
A quick Google says the population of Ohio was 11.7 million in 2023. Since you basically need a car to get anywhere, I'd guess probably 40-50% of that for the number of registered cars, so at $2 a plate cutting the fronts saves you somewhere around $9 million.
Not much when talking about the budget for a State, but not insignificant.
