Well, yeah, because they initiated the code to verify it was you who called them. Better than them asking your "security questions" or such. It's a completely different situation if you got an incoming call who asks for that.

Back in my day, we walked for miles uphill in the snow to school, we rode the unprotected meatspin, broke all of our bones, and then we walked for miles uphill back home. Kids these days are so spoiled and pampered!!!

Are the taxes even earmarked to healthcare?

It's a coping mechanism, and basically everyone with an addiction does it.

There's nothing illegal about downloading streams, but if the purpose of your downloads is to get fraudulent royalties, then of course it's illegal as wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

but totally fine when so many other media companies do it?

Do other media companies create fake streams?

Fraud is the crime of obtaining money or property by deceiving people. He deceived streaming platforms, as he botted his songs in order to earn royalties.

The whole "AI" thing is irrelevant; it'd be the same situation if he manually produced all his music.

I'm not a rail expert, but I thought for some reason that rails without electricity would be too old/unmaintained to be allowed to serve passenger traffic, lol.

40 minutes? I would have imagined that everyone would hop off at the station, they'd then drive out to a parking junction, and then drive back the electric train to the station for people to load in again. Isn't it also very expensive to take the train (you're from the US I assume)? Not weird that no one wants to take it when it's in such bad situations :/

If you're already laying tracks, why not lay electricity as well?

you're only getting part of what an endoscopy can do.

But it's much less intrusive, no? So should it not be considered to see if a good diagnosis can be made via it?

Their leaders have inadvertently taught them well.

But that's all part of the same argument. If it was -f or -ff that'd make sense. Duplicate parameters are usually ignored in like all other programs I can think of.
