I’d put it in the lawful category. 4 space indentation and other strict formatting requirements chaffs me to no end, just like a hard-ass teacher requiring name and student number in some specific and strict format at the top of a page.

Time Machine is just backup software isn’t it? It’s not doing an involuntary index of all your activity and content you interact with, right?

Interesting… I hadn’t heard that. Can it and refineries on the otherend match the volume needed to cut the US off without pain on your side? Honestly hope so. We need to suffer on this side before the idiots that vote for Trump will acknowledge their mistake.

I don’t think anyone’s is worried about the owners of the CA oil. I’m just pointing out we’re not going to see CA stop selling oil to the US because they have no other option. They aren’t going to take one for the team to punish the US, especially because US oil owns much of the CA oil sands operation.

The trouble is they have no one else to sell it to. The US is their only market for it since they have no other way to get it to market.

I’ve found some people who act jealous and want you to be jealous are that way because they’re cheaters. They may not be cheating now but they know they would given the right opportunity and they assume you’re like them. So they worry about you cheating and they get upset when you don’t worry about them cheating because they assume that means you don’t care. It’s a messed up and miserable way of thinking, and if you’re not the cheating or jealous type but naive to their thinking, together you’ll have a lot of conflict and confusion.

It’s definitely about theft. Hard to manage that away.

Walmarts are doing this with things like cosmetics in some areas too, though at least in the one I frequent they have a checkout counter and clerk in the immediate vicinity. Not sure it won’t still frustrate the honest people who have lots of other options.

If you read the whole thing you’ll learn that for some time their cards were in fact deactivated and they had to sneak in behind other people.
