It already works like this. Audits perform this function. Failing a mandatory audit generally goes very poorly for financial companies. The unintended result is falsified audits - something my former company did (still does?) every year. The banks and the Fed never found out.

I am onboard with the Canon lasers. I got a color mfp/scanner. Off brand toner is less than half the price, and even the Canon toner is less than other brands.

I’m in IT and do prefer to write for many tasks. When all I need is “Room, Rack, and U” to work on a system, a small scrap of paper is better than putting the laptop on the floor. I expect the role matters more than the industry.

Don’t forget mouse traps and other ways of keeping them safe from vermin.

Exactly.

I’d aim for Annares as a model. From 'The Dispossessed". Syndicalism/Anarchism.

I’ve resolved one adoption mystery and have two more under investigation. It’s very rewarding work.

I’m also working on Euro citizenship for me and my siblings. We may be too late - some international policies are changing and we may be already shut out.

No. Ancestry is the big fish. 23 tried to swim in deep water without a solid established cash flow.

Also, how does someone having access to my (already public) tree matches do additional harm? My real name is globally unique. I’m Very easy to find and ID.

I use it and like it. DNA and all. Yes it’s expensive. I generally pay for a month, then let it expire for a few months while I catch up, then renew as needed.

It is the 900 pound gorilla of the hobby. If you want to get DNA matches, it’s the first choice by far. And it has enabled me to learn an enormous amount about my family - and my wife’s, and several friends who are interested.

If genealogy is your thing, do it. If you only want to half-ass it, there are alternatives.

FIVE!

Left Hand of Darkness

My mom is over 80. Little old suburban white lady. She already volunteered - “Just get me close.” She’d be super-thrilled to have her shot with a suicide vest.

If SS payments stop, there will be hundreds of thousands of people with nothing left to lose.

Save the Children might have an objection to that.

It may be 5 sheets, as this one is marked “5 To Worker”

Dark-sky site?

Thanks, but I’m hoping for something super inclusive of the entire industry.

We get them all. Deer, birds, chipmunks. The entire garden needs to be protected by hardware cloth. The chipmunks got through the original chicken wire we had. We had to enclose the top as they climbed over. Plus the small birds eat any berries. A constant battle to be able to harvest anything.

A store-made bagel, with 2 over-easy eggs and a thick slice of a spiced ham product called (pork roll) or (taylor ham), a slice of American cheese, and “salt, pepper, ketchup”.

Commonly with bacon, sausage, or regular sliced deli ham replacing the meat. Sometimes with hot sauce instead of ketchup. The bagel can be any type, but is often “everything”.

NYC area, mostly north New Jersey.
