In theory, yes, but that's not how policing works. From personal knowledge of the UK setup, the goals are twofold, mass surveillance plus auto-revenue-generation (intended to raise sufficient to pay for the surveillance infrastructure

Is this company asking you to do things for them by any chance? The only time I've seen anything like this was when they were leeching free consultancy for a problem they were unable to solve. They compartmentalized the problem into

If this is the behavior when they are trying to play nice and supposedly recruit you, you can guarantee it will be much, much worse to work for them. Move on as quickly as possible. RUN, don't walk.

A question for a doctor for sure. But Wikipedia has a long article on Hepatotoxicity[0] and that suggests discontinuation of the drugs involved can allow the liver to heal (if discontinued early enough). As a patient, you need to be conscio

The Latin morbus is disease and mortis is [of] death but my experience - and perhaps yours too - is that when discussions of morbidity (i.e. using the word morbid/morbidity) arise, they are often in the context where someone is near de

The issue here is the frequency used plus power and spurious out of band emissions. 'FM Radio' (really 150KHz wide FM modulated 88-108Mhz) has propagation generally limited to line of sight, perhaps a few hundred miles at most du
