This is what makes Atlas Shrugged evergreen. Its depiction of a society that regresses technologically not because of loss of knowledge or expertise but simple loss of will will always be terrifyingly plausible.

At that level of dilution, the radioactivity would not be detectable above background, let alone acutely hazardous.

The problem is the "morally unimpeachable" requirement. The only way to gain this attribute is to avoid doing anything of real substance.

Why wouldn't that be covered as a search incident to arrest?

Nobody else mentioned it, but as best as I can tell 100% of the attempts to scam friends and family have been from subcontinentals. They stole my friend's elderly mother's savings, without remorse. Kitboga alone has probably done massive reputational damage.

Perhaps, but it still has to be someone's job to do that for it to get done. I think Charlie is probably correct that whoever was managing the remaster didn't know or simply forgot that this was a thing that was needed, nobody got the job, and nobody at that level took the time to QA the final product.

You don't have to actively care about something for it to have profoundly affected your life. In fact, I would guess that often the most disruptive things are the ones that people move on from, because that's how you get past it and move on with your life. But it will still have affected you!

Ultimately we are both going to have to fill in the blanks as to what the "proper" interpretation of the rubric is. I suppose it comes down to who you trust to interpret the rubric properly - the instructor or Fulnecky. In this case, I have to give a little deference to the professor, because she created the rubric and I've experienced similar grading standards in the past. I suppose this sort of thing is what the University is interested in finding out.
I agree with all of this. My problem is I just don't have any confidence that these kinds of standards are applied in a consistent manner, and I don't have any particular reason to trust this particular instructor any more than I trust the rest of University administration, which is not at all. I will never, ever, forget how much this story about a University essay crushed me: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teen-accepted-stanford-after-writing-blacklivesmatter-100-times-application-n742586

You could get a LTO-9 robotic tape library capable of storing a lot more data than that for a few million.
Low - they typically use resistance heating elements that cannot thermally runaway because they become more resistive the hotter they get, they are manufactured from flame-retardant material, and have integral overcurrent detection and/or GFI sensors to prevent short-circuits. Since the heating elements are directly against the body, they don't get all that hot.
I would also suggest a fleece or flannel hooded-cloak-style bathrobe. These can be worn over clothes and are effectively a wearable blanket. The long cloak-length ones should cover your legs.
