My 3 year old has taken up parkour. How do I keep her from killing herself?

There is a certain point in a child's life where they are either going to hear it from you or hear it from a surgeon. My 11 year old had a desire to jump from high places for a time as well. He bruised his heel once and had a hard time walking for a week. Pain is a very good educator. Dissuade them from anything that may end their short life early, but if it's just going to hurt, let them go. My guidance for kids generally is to be mindful not to tear up the furniture or harm others, but if this hurts after I've warned you it's on you. Here is the first-aid kit. We ultimately got them a trampoline, which was extensively used.

Reading the whole Section, it seems they are leaning on this one phrase:

"SEC. 505. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, any citizen may commence a civil action on his own behalf "(1) against any person (including (i) the United States, and (ii) any other governmental instrumentality or agency to the extent permitted by the eleventh amendment to the Constitution) who is alleged to be in violation of (A) an effluent standard or limitation under this Act or (B) an order issued by the Administrator or a State with respect to such a standard or limitation,

Which is duplicated here in some part here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/33/1365

They're very good at looking at the letter of the law without considering the context or purpose of why it was written. Any number of logical fallacies are used to jump every shark possible.

Sovcit..... appointed the judge the trustee?

https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/1/1-103 So, they're claiming commercial rights as an individual. I'm not sure any judge would want to deal with someone who doesn't understand the difference between individual and commercial. All of these I've seen deal with fighting their ability to drive a vehicle or child-support, so if it's related to that the judge wasn't getting puckered. He was getting ready to beat you with a mallet.

When dating, "Just be confident" is just bad advice if you ask me.

Confidence: having faith or belief in oneself and/or abilities

So, being confident during dating is just knowing you have what it takes to make it. Nothing about that is "bothering people", at least it shouldn't. Know what your character and abilities are and do your best with the rest. Dating is about learning what you're into and what they are into as well. Ask them questions that you'd like them to know about you as well, so you both learn. Date at places that are neutral and there isn't a ton of pressure. You don't have to be arrogant or loud, just know your worth and what you're good at.

You can do it. It sometimes feels like a lot, but you got this.

Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation

due to corporate IT policies

I think that answers your question right there. If you got the device outside of that realm, you'd probably have no issues. Talk to your security and IT people about why that is. There are huge security risks for people being admin over their systems.

For context, I run my home computer as a non-admin user most of the time, unless I need to make some deep changes, which is not often. Maybe once a month. This saves me from accidentally installing a rootkit or other software. I run my children and wife under the same context so they don't need to worry either. Yes, it takes me a bit of time to go through and approve some updates, but that's worth it to not need to worry as much about viruses and keeping data secure.

The amount of time it takes your IT department to do something is another complaint that should be directed at them. We get those kinds of complaints constantly, but it's the fact we have everyone asking the same things or completely meaningless ones. You're in the queue, please give us patience.
