The details of my life are quite inconsequential.. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

It is absolutely correct to say reversing a transaction is a classic source of fraud.

Errors made should always be reversed by a separate transaction for an audit trail.

looks more like images/ combined images from an AI data base of previously collected images rather than just "reading the brain" outright

They may not be a bank but they get the earnings on all that money sitting there.. it is a source of funds for the business.

There is a group of American Private pilots who go on regular trips in their aircrafts and cook lunch in their aircraft engine bays.

Sorry could not find a link..

"They also burn a fossil fuel, which is more detrimental to the environment than low-power LEDs"

True however the true cleverness was that they burn the fumes coming off the sewerage system safely disposing of formally dangerous build ups of the gas while getting brighter at the same time.

So essentially fossil fuel is only a part of what they burn.

More likely than anything all these companies will realise not advertising makes no difference anyway.

The logical thing to do is reduce seat numbers on planes and give everyone more room
