Lol because in order to get 2.625% cashback at BoA you need to have $1,000,000 in your BoA accounts, maybe that's why it's hard?

The Goodison Park (built 1892) away dressing rooms are really Spartan and uncomfortable. They are poorly heated, are right under the stand (noisy), there's only one toilet etc.

I don't think Everton's home record can really get that much worse when they move into their new stadium next season though.

I used to catch them in my backyard as a kid, never saw one that big though!

Google search is almost useless for anything but the most basic queries now. Anything technical and it ignores half of the search terms like you said.

I wish they would go into more detail on the cargo. I want to see how they arrive at billions of dollars.

We shouldn't make blanket statements

Except you can leak data even if you don't hold it. You are focusing on data at rest. Not storing the data obviously helps massively, but a bug or maliciously inserted code could lead to user data becoming compromised.

Most users spend trivial time filling issues however. Most bug reports are crap.

Is publishing a request to a queue and then polling for a response a typical pattern for a distributed web application?

Great write up! I am the author of the TP2.0 page you linked to. I went through a very similar process to you, ended up disassembling the code for a Siemens PPD ECU (PowerPC architecture from memory, it was about 10 years ago) so I could turn of the DPF regeneration functionality.
