If you can open it enough to cut the led, why not just wrap the led in tape while you've got it open? That should cut down on the light leakage through the usb ports.

The "very people who have the authority to promote the prosecutor" are the voters, who, for the most part, do not understand what pen-testing is, or that it exists, or that it is (or can be, when done correctly) a legitimate thing.
ELI5 A person is smart, people are stupid. Voters are people, and details get lost in campaigns.
I turned a simple aluminum handle when I switched to a DE safety razor, because I had the same reaction to what was available. Matched the thread of the one I purchased, turned the handle a bit longer and fatter, and then knurled the lower 3/4ths of it.
It's a very easy and fun lathe project with very few critical dimensions.
This has a side benefit as well -- the "glass cockpit" planes are much more in demand at the local flying clubs, while I can almost always get an older 172 or 182 with zero advanced notice, and they're cheaper too.
I won't opine about reliability or anything else; I don't have enough experience. I just know which I find easier to process.
Old, "bad" languages can still be extremely powerful and productive for what used to be called "power users"; don't dismiss them out of hand because the professional software development world has moved on.
Does the shutdown of Google+ mean that Google Search users will get the + operator back?
I'd guess the "college girls carrying 40k in cash in a backpack" were employees carrying cash out from whatever business/booth they were running and taking it to their bank or head office or whatnot, and the "off-duty" cop behind them was there acting as a security guard; since that's a somewhat common side gig for cops, and in may places, they're still given all the power and authority an "on duty" cop has.
I don't get the connection to the weed (legal or otherwise, it has never been an interest of mine), but perhaps it explains the other bit.
Why do we want this version of the web again?
Ok, maybe that's just what I'd do.
Either way, good for a laugh as the afternoon starts to drag on.
I've not been back for 8 or so years, but I can't imagine the road has gotten any better, but I'd make the hike again.
On your way up to Copper Harbor, stop just north of Houghton at the Quincy Copper Mine. Even if you don't take the underground tour, take the tour of the hoist house; it was (still is?) the world largest steam hoist, and it is in remarkable condition as a relic of the steam age.
I already know the clientele that visits the area, whether that's relatively high-end, working folks on their one-movie-night-escape a week, high school kids on date night, etc.
I can already trivially find show (and run-) times from the theater and plan to stay open later or otherwise staff accordingly.
I can advertise, in the theater even, for not a whole lot of money, and reach the people who saw "movie x". Theaters are happy to take your money for a 30-second spot in between pre-roll movie trivia clips.
If I'm an uber/lyft/taxi driver, the same thing applies -- it's easy to find out when movies are out, so it's easy to be in the area.
I guess I just don't see the value in "exact location and time" (at the theater, shortly before the movie starts) or any other data they can provide.
What am I missing? What use-case is there for that data that makes it worth paying for?
It appears to me that part of the reason the Silicon-Valley-Tech-VC model involves explosive growth is because a large number of the businesses are chasing what really amount to fads, and the only chance they have of being successful is to take the entire market before the uers move on to the next big thing, so that after the initial "wow" wears off, anyone that remains stays on their platform/program/app/service/etc.
Obviously, that's not entirely a bad thing. It's made a lot of money for a lot of people, and there are people who genuinely thrive on the churn and burn involved.
It's not a model that I personally like, preferring instead a slow and steady growth based around a lasting quality product. It might not lead to billion-dollar businesses, but I think it leads to better businesses.
However, most of the time I just use paper. I generally use 200-ish page hardbound books with a narrow rule, and go through around 2 a year with work; entries are dated, volumes are dated when filled and filed away. I don't treat them with the full rigor that you would a real "lab notebook", but it's the same general idea.
For hobby use, I use similar books, but usually blank or graph lined.
For day-to-day reminders and such, I'm almost always carrying a little 50-cent spiral-bound notebook. When used up, remove the spring, toss the pages and cover into the recycle bin.
My use of software for note taking at this point is pretty much confined to initial research where I'm more interested in saving images and URLs than any actual details that might end up on paper later.
Asking for the maximum shows you exactly how compliant an entity is.
IIRC the regulus system was developed as a reusable airframe to keep development costs low.

However, I also suspect that there will be a lot of car/automated-bicycle accidents since bicycle visibility at night isn't particularly high, and relies a lot on the rider's choice of visible clothing.
Most of my work is boring old enterprise apps in java, c# or c++; the GW-Basic manual is a relic from my first computer that I keep around for sentimental reasons. Numerical Recipes is referred to on occasion, as is the SQL pocket guide, the other two are good for taking a 5 minute break from things.
That particular runway was poured in the late 50s or early 60s, and last had major work in the 90s. So it happens, just not on the every-two-or-three-years schedule that it does for roads (or yearly, depending on where you are).
The obvious difference, at least around here, is that runways are made of concrete - lots of it, each batch truckload tested as it is poured (slump tests, anyway), while roads are made from asphalt, as little of it as the DoT will allow, and as far as I can tell, zero quality control testing.
You don't need sports-car maneuverability on big, fairly light-traffic interstates.
For a big company (Forbes 500), or one with an effective monopoly (cable companies, airlines), or one with big enough backers (some SV startups) it may not matter. In those cases, the company doesn't need any single individual, and the individual doesn't have the power to really hurt the company.
For your local "mom and pop" company in a small town with only a few employees, the difference between a 6 and a 0 might be massive, perhaps to the point of staying in business or not.
Talking to the owners of one such place, they said UPS has done that the last few years, freeing up more of their recognizable brown trucks for residential delivery.
However, there's one in Huntsville, at the US Space and Rocket Center (also home to space camp, for those of us who grew up with that). On it's side, on the ground, in pieces/stages. When I was last there it was out in the open. Apparently it's now enclosed in it's own building after restoration.
There's a replica standing up in their rocket garden / rocket park; it is just a mock-up, not the real thing, wiki says it was done in 1999.
There's also a real one in Houston (Johnson Space Center), and of course the one at KSC.
Anything involving this will be handled by gov't lawyers, not by him, and you can bet if he does end up in front of the court, his responses will be 100% coached by those lawyers.
