I believe the original police was created in Britain in the late 1820's by Robert Peel. It was another 30 years for it to be copied in the US. As a UK citizen I can only apologise although much like your government you created something much much worse. Quite the achievement based on how bad our own police are, and government.
Unfortunately it wouldn't be practical as it would mean replacing and replicating everything that exists on SharePoint, Azure, Power BI and a multitude of other MS services used by thousands of users.

They're trying to hit his pay after speaking out against them so he's speaking out against them more. This action isn't aimed at him but at the lower ranks who can't afford to speak out so he's throwing himself in the line of fire.
I met her once and she was a total A Hole. I worked a stage for an exhibition 12 hours straight, she turned up 15 minutes late for her 10 minute performance and didn't interact with anyone. Clearly didn't want to be there but was happy to be paid while disrespecting everyone there.
Then there was mine that you had to put the M.2 in the second slot not the first or it would share bandwidth with the GPU making the GPU only run on 8 instead of 16 lanes. To make it less clear they put the extra cooling for the M.2 on the one you shouldn't use!

I don't agree with what the BBC did here, but fuck giving trump some of my license fee. As far as I'm concerned just tell trump he's wanted for questioning in relation to his dealings with Andrew and epsteins paedo ring and he's welcome to come and talk to law enforcement on both counts.
Seismic monitoring stations in Alaska are closing after a denied federal grant, risking delayed tsunami warnings for people living on the West Coast. ...
Yes, but how do they make money for daddy Trump and his cronies? Tornados don't really affect him so why have his personal piggy bank (the US government) pay money for these things. Better to give tax breaks to Apple so that they give him another golden award.
They're too busy using these techniques to appely the country apart and control the electrons. Argent Orange can't waste his resources taking on his Mummy-Russia especially when they want the same outcomes.
Once we're past another rise of Nazism, the misinformation spread by malicious actors across social media, the rich taking all the money for themselves and multiple generations of dealing with climate change; yeah there are definitely some good times ahead.
My hill to die on is that breakfast is the only meal that you can work the calories off all day. Eat what you want for breakfast but have a lighter lunch and even lighter evening meal.
The non-monarch told U.S. troops stationed in Japan Tuesday that he was prepared to send “more than the National Guard” to American cities to safeguard and enforce his immigration agenda—a threat that could apparently involve any branch of America’s armed forces. ...
And it was the most obvious ending that everyone had guessed sitting int their couch with friends or family that didn't even need internet theories. They made it sound like they had such a clever ending and it wasn't even close.
I think it's incredibly likely they had no idea how to end it until they had to do a last season and they went with the most obvious ending that was deeply unsatisfying.
“If a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then fine. But I don’t want to make something where [streaming is] the end-all,” Olsen said.
I stopped going after the last film I watched in the cinema had people on their phones or others chatting to each other. The cinema etiquette is dead and I prefer to watch it at home these days.
That being said, most films that see a theatrical release are generally better so I don't want that to die. I don't mind waiting to see it on my sofa where I can take a toilet break without ruining it.

Hard to keep a high level of quality when you're too busy testing all that bloat. Gotta make sure Co-plot is still stealing all your data before checking you can still boot your device when something breaks.
I just don't see the point in worrying about it. I haven't been scared since I found out and Idon't think I will be now that's it's about 4 weeks away. I've been too busy buying and planning things and then I'll be too busy changing nappies.
I'm just going to get on with it and not worry about it. The good news is that I'm already waking up in the middle of the night for a pee so I'm somewhat practiced at that.
Also back to your relationship question that I probably didn't answer. I already know someone in advanced age with a kid and they have a great relationship. I haven't even considered it. As long as I live a while longer I'm sure I'll have a healthy relationship. I'm quite a chill person and young at heart and genuinely don't see that as an issue.
If anything I think it might even be better! I genuinely think it will be beneficial that I'm not trying to grow up at the same time as my kid and can act as a caring and relaxed parent without any additional stress.
There's nothing with that word. I've retarded the timing on my engine before. An update to a piece of software can be retarded.
Maybe it's because I'm in the UK but there are perfectly okay ways to use this word including someone's opinions which might be backwards, old or retarded.
