Women all through the ages have had to fight to get equal rights. The biggest obstacle seems to be religion. All the western religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) say the woman is a helper to man, the man is the leader.

A woman committed the first Sin, and got humanity kicked out of the Garden of Eden. For that, she was cursed to have trouble during childbirth.

Islam, being the newest and youngest religion, seems to be the furthest behind in recognizing that women are God's creation, as much as men, and should be treated as such.

The policy per the article -

>when the 60-minute limit is reached, minors will be prompted to enter a passcode to make an “active decision” to keep watching. For accounts with users under 13, a parent or guardian will have to set or enter an existing passcode to allow 30 minutes of extra viewing time once the initial 60-minute limit is reached.

"The US Marshals service fell victim to a ransomware security breach this month that compromised sensitive law enforcement information, a spokesperson said on Monday.

The federal agency which is perhaps best known for its work in tracking down and capturing fugitives wanted by law enforcement notified the US government of the breach, and agents there began a forensic investigation, the chief of the Marshals’ public affairs office, Drew Wade, told Reuters in a statement.

“The affected system contains law enforcement sensitive information, including returns from legal process, administrative information and personally identifiable information pertaining to subjects of USMS investigations, third parties and certain USMS employees,” Wade said to Reuters.

The cyber-attack took place on 17 February, when the agency “discovered a ransomware and data exfiltration event affecting a stand-alone [Marshals] system”, after which the system was disconnected from the network, Wade said.

The Marshals service is part of the US justice department. Besides its work with fugitives, it also provides security at federal courthouses across the country, among other duties."

Might be a good time to call in the Eraser!

That's not quite right.

Under 13 needs a parental code.

Of course parent can hand out the code but that's just plain ol' bad parenting at that point.

A lot of cars from the 80s and 90s did it. The solder formulae used less lead after about the mid-80s, the solder joints would crack, and when the engine computers got old they would intermittently cause stalls. Or ignition switches get worn, that's been happening forever to all kinds of cars from all makes. Or any number of other reasons. I can count five or six off the top of my head that I've owned that had a random stalling on the highway problem when they were old. My old Jeep blew the muffler off once when it stalled and then dumped a bunch of gas into the exhaust - when it restarted there was an earth-shattering kaboom that exploded the muffler.
