The US implementation of chip and PIN left off the PIN. The reason given was "no one wants to put in a PIN every time" so for the vast majority of transactions you just hold up your card to the sensor or put it in the chip reader. PIN is only required for cash withdrawals in my experience.

This is why I introduced my kids to scuba diving as soon as they could get certified. It's an expensive hobby but you can combine it with family vacations. Most vacation places near water have dive shops and will rent you whatever equipment you need

I briefly worked for a plumber during my college days to make money. He said the people who kept him in business were people who poured grease down the drain and also people who flushed tampons.

I guess people aren't all that familiar with the world of Cyberpunk 2020/2077 if anyone expected any type of happy ending. Cybering yourself inevitably leads to cyber psychosis, with no exceptions.

It turns out the Rosetta stone isn't actually unique. It was simply the first example found of what cane to be known as the Decree of Memphis. It was required to be put in every temple. I think the rally of these stones is up to six currently.

Wasn't it just one GSV on the Culture side basically fighting the whole war?

Don't forget the ability to switch sex/gender freely. I think in Player of Games there is one person known for switching to female and having a kid every ten years or so. Having lots of kids also frowned upon.

You'll get nowhere because of the Border search exemption
