If you're going to call for the stopping of advancement of science while we figure out how to not be horrible we might as well just cash it out now.

A few seconds of microgravity? Something sounds off, that would probably be enough to be seen in parachutists and fighter pilots. I think I'm going to wait for the peer review on this one...

The article you just mentioned in the comments includes both a completely reasonable and viable regex and binary and library alternatives that are in most languages.

Reimbursement also counts for work issued credit cards. You go on a trip for work, you don't need to pay for anything in my realm :)

If I have a charge for 7 cents on my work CC and no receipt, I have to go through the seven layers of hell to beg for clemency.

I once spent over an hour trying to get a receipt for a refund that was higher than expected. (error in our companies favor)

The regexes are written to comply with RFC 5332 and 6854

They are well defined and you can absolutely definitively check whether an address is allowable or not.

Android phones, and common apps installed have enough vulnerabilities that They don't really need to do a lot to invade your privacy you just have to be a target and either run a certain build of the OS or have certain apps installed that have vulnerabilities.

The fact that Apple devices in evidence rebooting were f****** up their plans shows you the level of security they have at this point.

Your location and whatvsites you visit from your ISP is already tracked and readily accessible by anyone that has even any remote authority.

Harris lost because of a lack of blue voters who didn't get an exit poll.

There were more red there, and they claim to have voted because of economy because racism and hurting the other team wasn't on the official ticket.

worst thing is, the regex to check email has been available for decades and it's fine with apostrophies

My boss, a few jobs ago, used to tell us all the dirty stories. My favorite was he was at some place to get some form of business license. He had waited a really long time to get the appointment. Apparently, the guy's secretary was supposed to tell my boss about the expected bribe, and its amount. He went on into the office and sat down. Did you speak with my secretary on the way in? Yes. Oh good. long pause Didn't she tell you something? No. Are you sure she didn't.... Look, we both know you need a bribe, so stop pussy footing around and tell me how much you want and we can both go about our day. Oh um, well bribe, um no, um you'll have to go talk to her. No just tell me what you want and lets be done with it.

Stories about driving and traffic were always gems too.

Later, he went home and started a company in a tax-free zone, outsourcing most of our development for 1/4 of the cost. We had one project that got behind, it was promised on Tuesday, ran into Wednesday, at EOD her time she said she needed to leave and pick it up tomorrow, asked for permission. we were 30m away from being done, we asked her to stay. She became very upset and started to sob a little, we asked her what was wrong. Apparently if she was out after dark wild packs of dogs chased her home. I never did find out If that was a euphemism for rapists. We had another lead developer literally get run over by a bus. After then ran over him, they stopped and backed over him again.

It's school dependent even in US suburbia. The middle school near me regularly ignores IEP and 503 but the high school goes above and beyond and not only abides, but adlibs, finds things that help and circles back regularly.
