Vegetable is a political (lower case P) term, defined by legislation for tax purposes.

Tomato is clearly a fruit botanically but classified as a vegetable in the United States (and most countries) and is taxed at a lower amount than fruits.

They could consent prior to death. They could even bequeath them to the tooth fairy.

In fact ...I'm redoing my will right now...I'm gonna add it.

Additionally, cities that want physically fit officers have unions that demand that they are paid to work out. Cities don't want to pay for that.

So, usually the fitness requirements are only used when applying but aren't used when you are in the force.

Exactly!

There's only one party that cares about hypocrisy. And it's not the fucking Republicans.

Think of a passkey as a specific "device" getting access to a service.

Device is in quotes here since it's really tied to the browser and your session on that browser so if you use multiple accounts or you use incognito mode, you will create a new passkey with each session.

You set up a passkey on each "device" you are using Google and then manage those keys through Google's account security web site, deleting keys as needed.

I'm personally not a fan of passkeys as a replacement for passwords. They provide a second factor but should not be relied upon as the only factor for authentication.

But passkeys are NOT MFA. They essentially replace "what you know" with "what you have". Adding a second passkey like a yubikey only furthers the single factor. Also courts have ruled that you can be compelled to provide biometric data to unlock your accounts.

I suspect Google is moving to replace passwords not out of the kindness of their hearts but to allow the government to get into your account.

My preferred MFA combination is yubikey (or similar physical key) + Password/PIN.

"drug and violence" are dog whistles for "black and Hispanic".

Statistically, drug use is about the same regardless of race but non-whites are prosecuted far more often than their white counterparts.

I could see a "NetZero" approach to electric charging where you choose to watch ads for free or discounted electricity. Which will then turn into you having to watch ads to enable the charger.

From the looks of it the characters have thrusters to allow them to move in zero G.

Not exactly jetpack but pretty damn close

Not just any spring water. It has to be from Nestle's Eternal Springs.

TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn...

Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.
