Lol at 99 and Dexter is on the edge of SLU and heading into downtown for a lotta commuters. I’ve lived a few places and Seattle is my favorite because it made me uncomfortable enough to ask myself questions I wasn’t sure I’d like the answers to. It’s made me a better person. Love this city.

    Depose =/= Kill

    Depose just means removing them from power, but since there is no legal way to remove them, you end up with people like Luigi.

    They could all just peacefully “depose” themselves by resigning immediately, and they’d be much safer.

    Or you know, fucking change the policies.

    You’d still be profiting even if you approve all claims, just less profits, but still profitable.

    (The only claims they should be allowed to deny are fradulent ones, that is if they have evidence that its fraudulent, everything else should be approved)

      Depose =/= Kill

      It does when it references the words a killer specifically used very recently on bullet casings in a very public killing.

      Just like you can’t say “I’m going to 9/11 the Whitehouse” because that’s a specific reference that has a clear inference.

        They obviously know the reference, but are simply making a point that the broad sentiment toward CEOs would largely be appeased by other, less dramatic means.

        If people have their legitimate claims paid in a reasonable time, and weren’t bombarded by gofundmes for people on their own for medical care, then they might be more empathetic toward health industry executives.

    Probably less “hacked” and more nobody locked the control box, or the password was still default or something. Some of these anyone can just walk up and type something in.

      That’s not not hacking.

      What folks think of as hackers today is not really the classical view, which included people just learning by experimentation without messing about with anyone else’s system, or folks like Kevin Mitnick, who repeatedly stated that his greatest tool was social engineering, not anything technical. He was such a big bad scary hacker to the government that they kept him in prison 4.5 years before his trial.

        Sure, it’s encompassed by old school hacking like phone phreaking, It’s not what people generally mean, in my opinion.

          Fair, but I stand by my assertion that OP is not not hacking even if the usage has shifted a bit in recent years.

      I read, many years ago when people were changing them to say “ZOMBIES AHEAD”, that the default password is the two digit state code followed by DOT.

      E.g., for signs operated by the Washington State Department of Transportation it is simply “WADOT”
