    Unlike the rest of society I refuse to put myself in a position to where I’m helpless without the electronic doodad.

    Yeah, I know. “Okay boomer”. :biggrin_25523:

    You know the stuff out in the world is 10 to 15 years behind what is actually being used by agencies that can’t be named.

    I had to walk one of my pickup customers through the process of creating a BOL on my company’s website today. That threw both of us for a loop because it’s been changed since the last time I had to do that at a different place.

    That’s sorta funny cause I have a customer whose book keeper prefers electronic bills. Which I took to mean I had to create the whole thing on my phone. She drives out here to show me what she wanted which was just a scan of my hand written bill. Then she explained how if I email it it saves her a few steps etc which I will freely admit I didn’t understand fully. I can however appreciate her taking the time to explain it to me. I’m not the most educated person by any means

    It’s a bit over my head too, but IIRC scanning the paper BOL converts it to something called a PDF file which can be atteched to an email, and if need be it can be downloaded and printed out on the other end.

    That has always fascinated me as well. I'd bet it is even more advanced than what they lead on.. But it is also could be bad. All it takes is rocket boy to send a nuke and were all done for

    Well, there are a couple obstacles to that, assuming the SOB doesn’t put the warhead on a hypersonic missile that is. There is still the idea of mutually assured destruction to some degree. Also, it’s possible to scramble a fighter jet out of Bolling AFB or someplace to shoot it down.

    Long story short.
    Not something you really need to worry about. It won’t happen. The level of surveillance is so detailed, it’s known when they farted, and what the chemical composition is.
