Off-topic, but what kind of door lock is shown in this picture? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Room_641...

The lock on that door is largely circumvented by the fact that the hinges are mounted backwards. The door opens outward, so it could be trivial to lift the hinge pins and pull the door towards oneself. Hopefully the hinges have security pins.

I've had a residential condominium door that wouldn't open even if you removed the hinges completely. The door itself had bars on the hinge side, those bars went into holes in the frame when the door closed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For some reason, I assumed that the animals were not brought up with their parents.

Puppies are supposed to be separated from their parents no earlier than about 6-8 weeks old. Critical socialization time is the first 3 months of their life. (Or so. These numbers vary by region and amount of caring; I'd rather have the puppies spend more time with the mom than less.)

Interesting. TIL

The thin blue line runs around the world. NSA is party to multinational intelligence sharing agreements. If they don’t delete the data to prevent discovery and disclosure in public trials, they are in violation of the contract. Any legal scholars have a rejoinder to this? How would you have approached this case to prevent outmaneuvering in these legalistic ways? It is a mockery of the rule of law that it is upheld an…

The NSA wasn't the first agency to not follow the laws as written. In America no one acts like they care about the rule of law unless it impacts their personal lives.

It's unfortunate that people take it for granted.

That said, I would rather live in a country surrounded by people who take it for granted, than live in a country where there is no rule of law.
