Which is still less than a third of what my 70" UHD just cost me. And that is without the sound receiver, speakers, Blu-Ray player, etc.

The Corsair boards are pretty great

Pick the price / level of light fiddling you like and you can't go wrong. I prefer the Cherry MX Red keys on my K95, but the Blues on the new Strafe RGB I put on my kid's PC aren't bad either.

On the other hand, ride quality goes a long way towards inducing people to ride. Poor ride quality, means fewer people, and only those people who have no other alternative, which makes on-going funding and maintenance difficult.

You are just facilitating two people meeting who are making their own personal arrangements between themselves. Maybe you are providing some price guidance and offering billing and payment services, but it's still just the two individuals involved doing the transaction.

What they should do is not criminalize it, but loudly and often let everyone know that future policy will be based on the results of they survey.

That way, when all the paranoid conservatives don't fill it out because the don't want the 'gubmint to know dey bidnez'. All policy will be based around gay muslims, who did fill out the forms.
