I self-identify as a clump of cells.
The books were a very minor part of my childhood, but I noticed immediately, and my family always pronounced it correctly.
They couldn't get the paperwork right. From the first time I signed up and was issued a box, the paperwork was screwed up in some royal fashion, I would thoroughly read it and point out that they messed it up (always unfavorable to me) and they'd fix it up apologetically. This is a bank. Bankers do paperwork for a living and their livelihood depends on dotting "i"s and crossing "t"s, so to speak!
The worst experience was the second visit when I discovered that my keys no longer worked. Well, I'd brought only one key of course, and when we discovered that it had stopped working, they demanded for me to go back and bring in the twin key to test that one too. Of course it was jammed. I was absolutely appalled. The "senior relationship manager" said the boxes are old and tend to seize up like that. I demanded a letter in writing with their proposal to drill the lock and rekey it, for free, under my supervision.
So I came in on the Drill Day and, you know how they have that little private Viewing Room where you put the box, open it, and inspect its contents? Well, the drilling contractor had put all his tools and toolbox inside that room, so it was full of valuable property already. I was sort of flabbergasted at the clear security breaches they were committing, constantly. This is a bank!!!
So eventually I caught wind that safe deposit boxes are completely deprecated. The last straw is when I asked the banker what would happen in a power outage - could I retrieve my belongings? He said nah, the last power outage they had, the cameras stopped working so they closed and wouldn't allow any customers in. Well, shit, one purpose of having offsite storage was to stash some cash and emergency supplies in case the shit hits the fan, and they're telling me it'll be off-limits in case of the slightest outage or civil unrest.
So I decided that an SDB is useless for my (or anyone's) purposes and I closed it out and said bye-bye. They never screw up the paperwork on my checking or savings accounts.
Selective abortions are legal in many, many jurisdictions which do not limit family sizes.
Take, for example, the disappearance of Down Syndrome from Iceland. This triumph of medical science was achieved very easily through early detection and prevention.
These days, you can prevent almost anyone, especially young girls.
As soon as this post appeared, I began receiving timeouts. 90% of the time, the front page won't load, the host won't respond.
I have no troubles with any other IPv4 or IPv6 sites. My home network has been running IPv6 for about 8 years, since my ISP enabled it and I worked out some good router settings.
I routinely verify that all 3 of my devices are preferring IPv6. These timeouts are not occurring on my Android 11 phone, only on my Chromebook for now. Windows 10 Pro, not tested.
I was rather nonplussed by the rundown environment, and crass attire of the host and guest, and the cacophony produced from this guy's code was not really music at all. I am sure he knows what he's doing in terms of code, but couldn't he actually carry a tune of some kind, rather than random MIDI pulses?
They are most definitely not cashier's checks. I checked both institutions and both of them issue actual checks on my account. The only difference is their sequence numbers. The money doesn't leave my account until the recipient deposits them. I have, in the past, issued stop payment orders for them.

Pontius Pilate asked the rhetorical question, "What Is Truth?" as Truth Himself stood before him on trial.
I also cut checks as part of online bill payments. If the bank can't identify an electronic recipient, then the payment gets mailed out on a paper check. This happens for my landlord, and anything I can't set up for AutoPay from the other side. I can even send money to friends this way: anyone with a postal address, and I don't pay fees or postage for this Bill Pay service.
In fact, I make use of Bill Pay so much that I didn't reorder checks for one account. My father was mystified by that decision.
Thankfully there is near-100% compliance with PTR reverse-dns for IPv6 addresses and networks. /s
Why? I am a Waymo customer. I left it in the car, and so the service has a policy to collect the item and return it to their customer. Some random store where I don't go, all bets are off.
I was able to contact Waymo and discuss the lost item and they were able to recover it because it was left in the car. That is a success. I was also able to retrieve the item from their Depot because their Lost & Found process works. That is a 100% success.
It was unclear in my original comment, but the passenger's offer to leave it at a pharmacy was in a text message to my emergency contact, who didn't reply. I heard about that bit after-the-fact. All I told the passenger, repeatedly, was, "please leave it where you found it in the car" because Waymo would be able to work that out with me, a customer.
A few months ago, I lost the front door key to my apartment. The leasing office was closing in 5 minutes. I needed a loaner key, and I had no ID. I offered to leave my phone (one in the same) as collateral. They were extremely reluctant to be holding on to that instead of an ID. They said they'd make a one-time exception.
Phones are not really things that strangers like to hold on to, in case you've not noticed. If you are admitted to a hospital or jail or something, they get really jumpy about putting your electronics in a locker. Partly having to do with the likelihood of fire or explosion, the volume and value of personal data on those things, and their trackability. The best course of action for a lost device is you leave it where you found it, because that's the owner's best hope of retracing their path and finding it again.
Tell me more about how I somehow gave consent to that. Also, tell me more about how a stranger holding a random found device authenticates a caller as the owner of said device.
Can you now envision a conversation between this passenger and the pharmacy clerk:
"I found this phone in some car"
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"Hold on to it until some guy I don't know comes to claim it?"
"We don't want this personal property! Go away!"
[Waymo car is gone now]
[Passenger absconds with phone or throws it away]
[Owner is no longer able to track or retrieve phone]
Awhile ago, I added the "Find My Device" site to my bookmarks and I'd tested it out a few times. So I started there. And I also used Google Voice to place a voice call, so when it didn't ring in my home, I knew it wasn't here.
The Waymo passenger answered and there was much giggling. She kept saying she didn't know what to do. I said just leave it in the car.
So, knowing it was out of my control, I sent the remote wipe command, and hoped for the best. It turned out, the passenger also used the "Emergency Call" to send a text to my emergency contact. She offered to leave the phone in a pharmacy across town! I don't know how that would've helped.
Anyway, I did recover the phone at the Waymo Depot. It had obeyed the remote-wipe command and it was factory reset, with a full battery. It actually came out better-than-new, as the subsequent updates applied a few nice features.
Second, you've indeed created a novel interpretation of "still working... without adjust... still running" for such a lousy timepiece.
If you choose to write those claims without qualification, then indeed I would say you epitomize the cliché that "even a stopped clock is correct twice a day."

I am not sure how you derived that conclusion from the article. The passage seems to imply little else than a company spokesman declined to divulge proprietary information to some random dude who cold-called them.
Lastly, a rather pitiful assortment of references. This could be a better article if someone cared enough.
I grew tired of seeing groups which excluded me, so I joined some Irish and Scottish business networks. They are very small, and concentrate not on diaspora but on homegrown businesses in weird and disparate industries.
At least as a Catholic, I have been able to join ministries, retreats and service organizations for men.
Overall, my groceries are never consumed at the same rate, so how can this possibly track daily nutrition?
