Yea, this reads very meticulous to me. I clean my glasses under running hot water and the micro fibre cloth. I wash the micro fibre cloth with dish soap from time to time. In a bind I clean the glass with any clean fabric that feels soft.

Why would that not be possible? You can still do that and then once the rabbit is out add it to the main list. Come on, don't let the good be the enemy of the perfect. I'm sure there are several ways to find and list all domains. What bothers me more is that they allowed to have different domains in the first place. Why not sub domains to make it clear.

Liquidity in human capital. Sounds rife. Hire and fire right? via chat message on Friday night, hire back Monday.

As a stock listed company is GitHub or Microsoft not required to disclose such security breaches to their shareholders? As in a stock market communication?

You don't need a professional network. This is a company informing customers about a security issue. It should be on their website. Anyone can subscribe to the RSS feed if they are a customer. Remember RSS? There is no need to add a social network element.

Company news really should be posted on a company website first, other platforms secondly in my opinion.

You should be able to do all that from a computer at home right? The times I needed to do serious banking on the go are limited. Yes convenient, but replaceable with a 10 minute session at home using my Firefox or similar on Linux.

I am sure they are, my fascination is how they manage to get so much more out of the same 24 hours than me. Sometimes I would just like to know how others manage all the worldly churn that seems to suck my time. starting from cleaning the kitchen, toilets and the home, food prep and washing up, being active, moving the lawn, reading a good book, doing taxes, bringing the vehicle to service, fix that phone for grandma etc. so how do they do it? Is it character, personality, upbringing... What helped put them on this trajectory. So in short I'm curious about their story.

Japanese visitors were applauded for cleaning up after themselves in the stadium. So it is an attitude thing too.

Wow, so why not just write that instead of the legalese? Reads like an overjustification to me.

I have to keep telling my kids that "this is not the USA", all the things they see or hear are so dominated by USA views and experiences that the kids need to be reminded that this should not be transferred to where we live without consideration. This is a constant effort to review concerns and angst that might arise. E.g. school shootings and metal detectors on school entrances. Sure there are socioeconomic issues around when looking at high schools here but not like that. Personally I think we need to ground ourselves and not get shit crazy or paralysed by fear.

I don't think roads were ever considered a safe area to play. Even in cities in 80 the bugger roads were too busy. This is why cities need spaces for people including youth and teens not just playgrounds for toddlers. Yes traffic is more dense and faster, cars get bigger etc. but aren't cars also safer? I have heard the cars in the USA are crazy big which has larger dead angles particularly bad for smaller humans.

Your cost claims need to be considered with the perspective of the country or location of the clinic.

Sounds like the same risk as this situation of reusing them.

Cost, or availability due to cost. Still a driver in developing countries.
