If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for “safety”, then it’s too dangerous to be road legal.

I am tired of lies.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say “Ni” at will to old ladies.

Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!

You don’t need any help from me, sir.

That’s right! …

Almost certainly. You’d have to go out of your way to find a keyfob system that doesn’t. I administer a keyfob system at work, and I can tell you exactly whose key was used on which doors and at what times.

TestDisk and PhotoRec. TestDisk can recover broken drive partitions, PhotoRec can recover deleted files even if the partition table is borked.

The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.

The value of the DNS is that we all use the same one. You can declare independence, but you’d lose out on that value.
