My mom said the same thing most of her life. When it came down to it, (bone cancer in her hip) she asked to be cremated, and her ashes scattered somewhere she'd never been. That's hard to do, she's been a lot of places.
Technically you can't here either, they call it a donation, but they pay you... Not sure exactly what the loophole is. I've never done it, but I used to work with a guy that did it as much as they'd let him.
Even if you don't intend to provide it for free, if it's possible to, expect it. No different from Walmart complaining about increased theft after replacing cashiers with self checkout - tiny violins.
Did you miss civics class? Having both a senate and a house was a compromise between the smaller and bigger states. Small states could have been railroaded by bigger states with strictly proportional representation. It's almost like you're repeating something you heard without thinking about it much...
As a teenager, I would record the audio from movies onto cassettes, then listen to them on long bike rides. Damn near wore out MASH and Coming to America.
Technically incorrect - computers can be supplied with sources of entropy, so while it's true that they will produce the same output given identical inputs, it is in practice quite possible to ensure that they do not receive identical inputs if you don't want them to.
Most fun when someone says a kid "could not have done" something by themselves... Kids are smarter than people give them credit for, they figure shit out. They just lack experience.
As someone who drove across country for the last eclipse - Phoenix to bfe Oregon - it's worth doing once in your life. Even in the middle of nowhere, there were enough people around that when the moment of totality came, there was a very audible collective gasp, it was pretty awesome.
Remind me again why vigilante justice is discouraged in favor of unhinged cops?
