Is it true that in England, the person sitting next to the driver IS the driver? :)
It is true in Norway if someone is practice driving; the grown up in the passenger seat is the driver.

Many, many websites will happily accept passwords of $X characters and then hash only $(X-Y) characters on registration, but try to hash all $X characters on login, so of course the hashes don’t match. And at no point do they tell you the maximum number of characters.
I once had a page that prevented pasting, but last pass's password generator still worked. So I put in a long password using that, but when I clicked to register it came up with a blank error message. Turns out they had a 16 character limit that was only enforced when you typed in the box, so I had to count the number of letters they allowed me to type and then let lastpass generate a password of that length. Infuria…
A couple of cars in my city have plates like "0O00OO" or "BB88B8B"
One guy that I've seen driving near my place has two cars both with variations of "11ll11l" Both the same make and model and color.
I really dont think this will help him much.
When I was a foolhardy college student I figured out that if the cited vehicle make on my city parking ticket didn’t match my registration, I could get appeal the ticket via a web form very easily and succeed every time. Naturally I removed the badges from my car and put on different badges from another manufacturer. After a while they started to cite me as “other” and the trick no longer worked.
All we had to do was register our cars in each others names. When I was married, my car was registered to her and vice versa. The redlight/photoradar laws in my state required that the company operating the devices had to match the pic of the driver violating the law, to the pic of the registered owner via the license plate. If they couldn't match them, no ticket was issued as you can't prove who was driving. That's…

I always felt Yaml is far too complicated of a format for storing hierarchical data. JSON is too simple (no comments; hard to store multi-line strings). HCL, the hierarchical data storage language used by Terraform, is the closest thing I’ve seen to a happy medium between JSON and Yaml. Another option, if the string values are not multi-line, is CommentJSON (use the Python module or write 10 lines of code that strips…
Both a bare > and a sequence of 3 quotes are invalid in JSON, so it should be really simple to add multi-line strings wither Python or Perl style.

can you elaborate on this story? why the hell did the cashier call 911 on you, and what state were you from? how long ago was this?
Based on "traveler's checks", I'm going to guess at least a couple decades ago. Cashier probably called 911 because they thought GP was trying to commit fraud with "fake money".
The name is my 6 letter last name.
I've received thousands of emails from random people. There are so many letter.name or number.name similar addresses that I'm constantly getting very personal emails of other people (deaths, marriages, invoices, business reports, etc)
