I sooo agree with this, they f'd the UI up so much with the switch to whatever app crap they were thinking of when they "improved" the control panel. 95-Win7 made sense and I could find stuff even with the consolidation that happened in XP & Vista (well metro). The 8/10 consolidation is crap and hides features in a needless button maze.
The problem is "agitators". For at least the last 10 years a good many of the riots/protests you have seen on TV have been fomented and/or inflamed by paid parties. This is a 100% proof case of "Wag the Dog". I highly recommend it if you haven't seen the movie.
The journalists would see this as an impediment to them getting the "true story" (for whatever value of "X" that is) as it prevents them from "embedding" with the masses along with identifying the journo for violent actions. Not every "reporter" has a full camera crew.
That being said, there were examples of the vest you describe at the DC "insurrection", or at least I saw some some journos wearing neon-yellow reflective vests stenciled with "REPORTER" on the live feed.
Personally, I agree with you totally. Police & journalists should be clearly identified to better control things as it seems the default these days is to riot.
Feral pigs are just big pigs with overgrown teeth and more hair, something about freedom makes them even more aggressive than they normally are so never get near a wild souder (group). Yes, they are good to eat if in good areas but they usually have worms so cook well. Many ranches have cage traps set for this very reason.
TX declared open season on feral hogs and offers a bounty per tail as funds permit, there is no reason to "cobra farm" them as prolific as they are. Enterprising souls have even offered "chopper rides" for the shared cost of ammo & fuel so you could hunt down a sounder and kill them with a variety of full-auto fire weapons (M60, M240, Mini-gun, etc) from the safety of the air. Yes, it sounds horrible till you consider the amount of damage they do to everything in their path and with a population of 10mil+ you aren't really making a dent.
The ball bearings would suck for optical tracking but, most stuff is tracked by radar so the black paint really wouldn't do much more than add to the debris field as radiation would eventually cause it to flake off the metal and solar bleaching would turn it back to white.
I've been witness two sleepwalking events with different peopl. Both were fully conversant and aware of their surroundings, they just did odd things and we assumed they were drunk. Later we found out about the ambien and how neither had any recollection of the event.
Emirates also has excellent service and the coach seats are first class in comparison to United or AA. The prices are even pretty good against the alternatives.
Or what if the virus was intentionally released to remove a costly population demographic (old & infirm) that no longer have a cost benefit for the CCP/PRC GDP. Keep in mind that we still don't have valid numbers from China so we don't know how many died though back-channel reports say the reported numbers are much too low. The virus may very well have performed its intended purpose and any damage to enemies of the CCP is just iceing on the cake.
I'll second this commenters post, I researched aquaponics extensively and it is expensive to break into if you are trying to make a profit. You can do wonders with very little space but, the time and equipment costs are just as arduous as regular farming at the start. I ended up going back into IT as I just couldn't scale to market before my finances went red. More power to those who can make a go of it, I just wasn't one of them.
