Wish I had this guitar.

Think testing software isn't exciting or that it never cause controversy?

Think again.

In order to produce a result, the Alcotest 9510 uses two sensors to measure alcohol content in a breath sample: An infrared beam that measures how much light goes through the breath, and a fuel cell that measures the electrical current of the sample. The results should be about the same and within a small margin of error -- usually within a thousandth of a decimal point. If the results are too far apart, the test will be rejected.

But the report said that under some conditions the breathalyzer can return an inflated reading -- a result that could also push a person over the legal limit.

Looks who got tax repealed in Seattle?

Scamazon and Starbucks.

How? By acting like the NRA apparently.

Goodbye Time Warner ....

... hello WarnerMedia - a division of AT&T.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarnerMedia#Acquisition_by_AT&T

On June 12, 2018, District Judge Richard J. Leon ruled in favor of AT&T, thus allowing the acquisition to go ahead with no conditions or remedies. Leon argued that the Department of Justice provided insufficient evidence that the proposed transaction would result in lessened competition. He also warned the government that attempting to obtain an appeal or stay on the ruling would be manifest unjust, as it would cause "certain irreparable harm to the defendants".^{[101][102][103][104]}

Two days later (June 14), AT&T announced that it had closed the acquisition deal on Time Warner, making it as the former's subsidiary and division. Jeff Bewkes stepped down as CEO of Time Warner while retaining ties with the company as senior advisor of its parent company AT&T. John Stankey, which headed the AT&T/Time Warner integration team, took over as CEO. It was also announced that the Time Warner brand would be dropped in favor of the name WarnerMedia.^[105][106] As a result of the structure of the merger, Time Warner Inc. became a limited liability company with the legal name Warner Media, LLC.^[107]

Why I refuse to support that establishment-controlled duopoly that has a stranglehold on US Democracy and threatens human civilization in general.

The so-called “John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019”, which passed the Senate 85-10 Monday after having been approved by the House of Representatives in May, allocates $716 billion for the Defense Department, an increase of $82 billion.

This increase alone is larger than the total budget of the Department of Education, approximately $70 billion. It is also larger than the annual military budget of Russia ($61 billion). The increase in Pentagon spending between 2017 and 2019, $165 billion, is larger than the entire defense budget of China.

Hmm ... who exploits children more ... large corporations like Nestle, or the US Government?

You decide.
