Yes. That's why it took 2 years to get the money back. They had to interrogate and investigate the backgrounds and alibis of each individual bill. Proper due diligence is time consuming.
Hey, Thomas Goolink! Did you know your name anagrams to Monkish Galoot? Seems appropriate since all this 'forget about Thomas Goolnik' stuff is a bit mendicant in that you're begging others, not for alms, but for doing your bidding. The galoot part is self-explanatory.
Statement A: "However, U.S. District Judge Lawrence O’Neill in Fresno ruled that the documents described sensitive law enforcement techniques and releasing a redacted version would be impossible."

Not sure if pissed off customers in this setting is a problem. Look at Comcast. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one of their customers who's frustrated, angry or flat out irate. And yet they have $84 BILLION in revenue, $187 BILLION in assets, 164,000 employees, and 22.1 million customers.
HIPAA applies only to certain parties called 'covered entities.' These are healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses (Google it...I'm not overly clear on them either).
So a telecom provider, an app developer, a platform provider (Apple, Google), etc. aren't subject to HIPAA.
HIPAA was signed into law in 1996 and I imagine very few people at that time could have foreseen the current situation.
First, the amount of the price bump is irrelevant when you're on a fire scene. Even bypassing the procurement and purchasing processes and putting it on your own credit card is a hazard, both career-wise and financially. God alone knows what interwebz providers are going to charge tomorrow.
Second, willingness to put it on your own credit card doesn't matter if the ISP needs a signed contract...and you're currently on a fire scene.

I've always had the feeling that the news outlets that trumpet they provide breaking news fast and first are just trying to score points at the expense of their competition, and convincing the audience that this is FUN! and EXCITING!!! and somehow to the audience's benefit.
I'm a bit different, I guess, because I'll take my breaking news as fast as accuracy allows.
The reactions thus far, just in the proposal stages, are already translating to "If we reduce TSA presence, the terrorists will win. There's a chance that just thinking this way means they have already won. We cannot let the terrorists win!"
As the saying goes, "There's no such thing as bad publicity." In this case, I haven't thought about Purple Rain or Prince in general since shortly after he died. Now, thanks to this story, I can't get that damned song out of my head.
I will NOT, however, be acquiring a copy of any of his music and supporting the riders of his purple gravy train.
Sadly, the worse-than-the-disease cure for ear worms is to sing a song about how not large our planet is after all, but that song and its rights are currently owned by a mouse.
Because he prefers proper words like 'tomfoolery', 'shenanigans', 'monkeyshines', and 'high jinks.' Use of vulgarity-based words make him go all jackanapes.
I'm getting tired of the use of the word 'weaponized' which itself has become, well, weaponized.
It has become one of those words (and I'm sure there's a name for them) that is an automatic pejorative when attached to an idea, and because of its pejorative strength, no further explanation is required for many people. Think 'Frankenfood' and 'fake news.'
And as soon as I post this I'm going to send it to Lake Superior State University to recommend it be added to their banished words list (https://www.lssu.edu/banished-words-list/).
No correction needed. The story says he was handcuffed. When speaking of a person in a vehicle, in this case a police car, the word 'unrestrained' generally refers to the use of a seatbelt. Not being belted in / restrained would allow for greater freedom of motion while thrashing, resulting in more serious injuries.
