Really depends on the restaurant.

The smaller or local places where we are have all mostly switched to the handheld mobile devices.

The fast food places are all still front register POS style.

The larger chains or fancier restaurants are mostly still take your card away and run it then return for a signature.

I imagine the holdouts either don’t want to make the technological and cost investment to update (big chains) or they feel the mobile device is too “low class” (fancier restaurants).

You might be the reason for my story. I helped a bunch of other people cheat but I didn’t, and it was not directly intentional.

We had TI-89s too but we were required to erase all memory and show the output message to the teacher to be allowed to use it.

I was really into some game on my calculator and didn’t want to lose it from wiping my memory. So, I wrote a program that would mimic all the steps as if you erased it and return the same output at the end. Everybody was asking me to share it and they used it on the next test. I did too but I didn’t have anything saved to use to cheat.

The US imports a lot of guns from Brazil.

I’m not the person you’re replying to but the one thing I’ve found them helpful for is targeted search.

I can ask it a question and then access its sources from whatever response it generates to read and review myself.

Kind of a simpler, free LexisNexis.

When it comes to LLMs, they cannot do any work that you yourself do not understand.

And even if they could how would you ever validate it if you can’t understand it.

I understand that, but bringing one of these sensors into the courtroom and turning on a Dyson air wrap, spraying hairspray, using baby powder etc. and then comparing the results would show the susceptibility of these to be wrong.

It’s a demonstrably flawed system so you just need to demonstrate the system in action.

Then go into the office? I don’t think anyone reasonable is saying everyone has to work more remote, it’s more that if the work you do allows for it then, everything else being equal, why shouldn’t you have a choice?

Uniforms aren’t part of the culture in US public education.

Also, while uniforms aren’t standard in public schools there is typically a dress code students are expected to follow.

Please don’t engage in a straw man argument. I specifically said “if they had their freedom of choice and autonomy suddenly stripped away”.

Uniforms aren’t part of the culture for the majority of students in the US. If that switched overnight then yes, they would reasonably “freak out”.

Your generalized statement is “delusional”. There are plenty of private schools in the US that require uniforms, numerous jobs that require a specific uniform, and pretty much all businesses have a dress code.

So yes, going from a standard where no uniform is required in a school to having to wear one, especially if it was mandated without warning or input from those it affects would constitute “having your freedom of choice and autonomy taken away”.

Freedom of choice is the ability to make decisions and take actions based on one’s own preferences and desires, without undue external constraints or coercion.

Freedom of autonomy refers to the capacity of an individual to make their own choices and be self-governing, free from external constraints or coercion.

The burden is on the plaintiff, not the defendant. Whomever brings the suit needs to prove that it’s more likely than not that they’re were incorrectly fined.

Since these devices seem to basically be VOC sensors it wouldn’t be that hard to do this.

A lawyer will send a demand letter, not an affidavit.

An affidavit is for sworn testimony given under oath by someone who is unwilling or unable to appear on the witness stand.

A demand letter is a formal written request for action or payment prior with a threat of legal action for noncompliance.

If they ignore the demand letter then the next step is a civil suit. Depending on the amount this might end up in small claims. Also, tort cases only require a preponderance of evidence.

A preponderance of evidence essentially means you only have to prove something is more likely than not which, in this case, would be pretty easy. The big issue is the expense of this process almost makes it not worth it.

The American legal system favors those with resources.

I don’t. Please explain it.

I found that as I got older I got more confident in general. I think mostly it’s just about being comfortable with who you are so you can be your genuine self around others.

I don’t fully understand what the science is behind this issue but I do know that your eyes are easily affected by your blood and blood pressure.

I used to have regular drops in blood pressure and actually was hospitalized because it was 60/30 once when they checked. I actually lost vision in one eye because blood flow was decreased to the eye long enough the optic nerve died. They speculated it was a significant BP drop that caused it.

I live just outside our capitol, St. Paul, in Minnesota and every morning I walk our dogs in a 35 acre wooded dog park that’s within the St. Paul city limits.

If you take the federal government out of it, it’s pretty great to live here. Unfortunately that varies state by state and we have an administration trying to destroy it.

I feel like anyone would freak out in the most incredible way if they had their freedom of choice and autonomy suddenly stripped away.

Uniforms aren’t part of the culture in US public education. There’s also conflicting studies on whether uniforms even make a difference so it’s not like there’s a clear argument for them.

Also, while uniforms aren’t standard in public schools there is typically a dress code students are expected to follow.

Which is silly because you won’t be censored here with no advertising.

I’ve used it too when talking about myself because I like the term. Same with “opt out” instead of suicide

Generally, it doesn’t take a lot to make a vehicle road legal, depending on where it’s registered. The basic requirements for a vehicle to be road legal in the US are:

On the outside of your car, street legal requirements include ground clearance, emission control systems, tires, brakes, bumpers, license plate, lights, hood, and windshields.

On the inside of your car, street legal requirements include seat belts, steering wheel, horn, and rearview mirror.

Different states have different specific requirements but the above requirements are generally country wide.

As a non-Californian I used to like him but that’s because all the news coverage I saw was positive and focusing on thE “talk the talk”.

Then I started to see more that was critical of his actions and my opinion changed.

It seems like the increased attention since January over his posturing seems to have highlighted his shortcomings too.

But when she disputed the charge with her credit card company, they sided with the hotel after it provided the credit card company the same smoke report it sent her.

They tried that. If the credit card denies it you could have a lawyer send a letter threatening legal action but that’s all going to be at an extra cost unless you know an attorney or they think they could make enough to o do it on spec.
