A statement from your doctor does not mean a genital exam. I have to get a statement from my doctor for my son to go to summer camp that says he has no physical limitations. That part of the new rules is no big deal. The discussion should be about rights, not this hyperbolic calling everyone a pedo.

Why are genital exams required? Don't they already already have a copy of everones birth certificate?

Stop being scared of words. It's the intent that matters.

I assumed they are getting large volume wholesale discounts that aren't available to individuals.

Good management would have new game projects queued up so that their people could be moved onto the next thing. That way you retain talent instead of kicking it to the curb. What companies do instead is shameful.

Early retired means living off my investments now. My wife only teaches because she gets bored at home.

I am an early retired electrical engineer. I hunt, fish, and have fruit trees all over my yard. I also repair and/or replace all my own appliances. I do my own plumbing, electrical, and handyman work. I do my own car repairs and maintenance. I make my own furniture out of palette wood and bamboo grown in my yard. I brew my own beer. I do all the cooking in my house since my wife is still teaching. Stop by and have a home brew after work!

Asking honestly... how do we do this?

I self hosted for many years but gave up due to family members complaining about the occasional rejection. You are made of stronger stuff than I am, kudos.

I am human. My insides are soft and warm. Nary a nut or bolt to scrape you raw.

Think "virtual infinite LEGOs".

I bought a 2018 car in 2022 and was a bit pissed about the tracking. There was a dialog to turn it off but it kept popping up. But then I realized that the built in cell was 3G and they canceled that network nationwide. Just a thought if you are buying a used car.
