Interesting, I’ll have to look that one up.

You mean a fully independent, swallowable camera?

Yep, there’s a reason why many of them don’t work that faire any more. A few of them had their vehicles fully searched, multiple times, because they looked like the type who would have contraband. Those who still dare basically pray all the way to the fairgrounds, then don’t leave until it’s time to escape the state. Only the most straight-laced looking people with the most normal looking cars go out for community grocery runs and such.

Check my edit if you didn’t see it already.

I also get your point, but it’s a relatively minor distinction in Texas.

I know a few people that work a Renaissance Faire there who have gotten pulled over multiple times and almost went to jail because they were doing the speed limit in the slow lane, it was considered suspicious, and they looked like hippies.

The vibrations, which are powered by a battery encased in the swallowed capsule, can be triggered when stomach acid dissolves a membrane around the pill, or by a timer.

Seems totally safe, certainly nothing can go wrong here.

will be unable to travel through Texas without legitimate fear of detention

so… a standard risk for anyone living in Texas, or traveling through Texas

Probably already been said, but I'm wondering why you haven't just checked the box in Settings for automatic updates that says "When Firefox is not running", because I've never encountered this problem with that turned on.

He’s commenting on how you missed the entire point of his comment regarding how older systems can have another OS put on it and given to an underprivileged person, specifically a kid. If you’re an exceptional case who has to find a way to use old equipment with Windows, fine, there are already ways to do that, but if you actually don’t understand his original comment or his reply in context of his original comment, then you’re pretty stupid.

They know they are full of shit. Also something about not wanting Dems to have public opportunity to address their line of questioning because somehow it’ll waste more time than what they’re wasting already (and they know it will make them look stupid. Again.)
