I’ll be the one to stoop to a name and shame. From the receipt, that’s Jon & Vinny’s Brentwood. Thanks—will now be sure to avoid going there.

anti-clickbait tldr: system uses facial recognition, complete with the expected false positives, false negatives, and bias.
Key passage:
Clear’s methods determined its facial-recognition system to enroll new members was vulnerable to abuse, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified discussing security-sensitive information.
The computer-generated photos of prospective customers at times captured blurry images that only showed chins and foreheads, or faces obscured by surgical masks and hoodies.
The process — which allowed Clear employees to manually verify prospective customers’ identities after its facial recognition system raised flags — created the potential for human error.
Apparently last July “a man slipped through Clear’s screening lines at Reagan National Airport near Washington, before a government scan detected ammunition — which is banned in the cabin — in his possession.” And he’d “almost managed to board a flight under a false identity.” The TSA checkpoint found the ammunition, which is what it is supposed to do. This had nothing to do with his identity. There’s no suggestion that the passenger intended to do anything nefarious.
Paywall. tldr?
Guessing… corporate incompetence and scaling problems and logistics and “muh supply chain” nonsense.
tl;dr: high temperatures and other unfortunate, simultaneous circumstances caused the water to become deoxygenated. Too little oxygen dissolved in the water means fish will “suffocate”.
anti-clickbait: “an organization” is just the DNC. Campaign planning to raise and spend $2B.
Do Not Cite The Deep Magic To Me Witch. I Was There When It Was Written.
While not even his patient, I went along to a family-member’s appointment. It was maybe their tenth session. Time’s up. Therapist starts nudging for signing next to a laundry list of appointment dates that even I know never happened. Uh, what are you doing? I’m watching you commit insurance fraud. I’m sure many of his other patients just signed in the box. So dramatic fraud and brazenly taking advantage of people is just part of the routine for some people.
If other comments don’t get you sorted, Scrounger does it nicely. (if you trust some random site/ have no sensitive bookmarks; other options exist if not.)
