We have and we have had this for a long time. I was born a few months after the Cuban Missile Crisis began. Nuclear threat has gone on throughout my life. Personally? I'm more concerned that Germany is re-arming when the Berlin Wall only came down in 1989. Accelerated devolution.
Both Russia and United States have over 1 thousand high-alert, launch-ready nuclear warheads. I hope we never see a world war again. We will not survive it. Stop this war. Humanity depends on it.

How do you perceive yourself at the end of it all isn't that most important or is there a greater struggle that I don't connect with because I simply cannot I've never transitioned? I think it's more to do with preconceived notions of how we're supposed to act in our gender roles
And now the smell hit me thank you so much so much Sarah LOL just when I thought I wiped it off my shoes there I go stepping in it again darn it unavoidable these days I guess we live in a big kitty litter box

An intriguing exception to this would be a Lowe's in Nogales which is the Border City below Tucson. Nogales means walnuts yet the area is famous for pecans! Trivia aside let's say this Lowe's serves both Nations both currencies. Why might cash matter in this specific context?
Coin shortage doesn't necessarily mean quarter shortage but that's really interesting and I'm not surprised it's not as if those things have much weight literally or figuratively left in them these days or wait maybe that's a Ruble? Did I just step in something LOL

Yes that is true and very poetic of you I might add I like that and the web is but one means one means of many remember how we would encourage clients to put their URLs on stuff? Do you remember the first time you saw a URL in the wild iow not online?

Also excellent points and still not need what we are doing in that instance is shutting out people who are already accessing web. For anyone, esp. government to offer one access means to a service is foolish. When the need is greater than access that system fails. Great example.

It would be interesting to see what happens over the next few months in that store because chances are if nobody uses them or it causes too much of a logjam at a cashier I bet ATM debit and other forms of payment will be made available or another type of service will be in play.

Context is everything until we hit that existential plateau of lies lies more lies and statistics! LOL statistically you have half of the human population not online. Not a threshold of need as per Maslow's hierarchy. Those carts at Lowe's are going to cause cashiers a nightmare!
It feels as if it is a need it is definitely an incredible benefit in situations such as you're describing but if half of the human population can survive without it the threshold of literal need. But a compelling question now is do we want this to be a need I sure don't.

Raised with strong heritage and culture, atheist parents. Brooklyn 60s? Blamed by strangers my whole life until the Vatican forgave Galileo for being right that I, 4 years old, had 'killed God' but he came back so I was cool. I'm still not fully capable of parsing this confusion!

You know I've always been genuinely confused by the I can't go there you can comment I'm not sure what that really means. Why would I have a right you don't? Perhaps the association of me with Judaism. Many religious Jews do in fact deny my genetic truth and claim I am not a Jew.

Plenty of greed in the tribes. Take the Orthodox Jews and blood diamonds for example. I have never owned a diamond and whoever gives me one doesn't know me or the rant that would flow forth as one did when a woman thought my husband was cheap because he didn't give me a diamond.

Interesting regarding the way disability is defined in the description. It's defined technically without including a social measure. The social measure is actually a much higher threshold of need. The two factors represent the higher-order accessibility and specific #a11y

What's so nutty about this is that it is not an accessibility technology need to make keyboarding Universal it is a far broader need to make key access a requirement. how many freaking hardcore programmers and hackers are off the chart fast and prefer keyboard input? A lot.

Speaking of difficult times Phoenix has been through some real brutality as has Tucson but the last couple of weeks in Phoenix have been brutal and only a handful actually related to drugs this time around it was mostly high speed chase, murder, violent domestic disputes. Tragic.

Well hi there Ike always nice to know a friend of Laban's. As for legal need I have none if I'd been cognizant in July 2013 there'd be a whopping malpractice suit which does rise fully to the letter other than the statute of limitations 4 medical malpractice is 6 months long. SMH

Definitely one of the many factors yes literacy also. Language acquisition and use, cognitive ability, Focus ability, again we tend to 10 a tribute a singular cause two things helps us make sense of a complex world when the reality is is that very few things have a singular cause

Remember this just because public information is their information and data are information and data they are not knowledge. To turn information and data into knowledge takes resources many people simply do not have. As is evident critical thinking is all the rage these years.🙁
