I really think Roblox is missing the point.

Sure, age-verification might impede underage use of their product, but there are a lot of adults that understand the age-verification movement to be an invasion of their privacy. Whether or not this is true, "perception is reality".

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.

Curious, then, that if such a law was already passed that recently that the likes of Pelosi (and surely other members of both parties) still managed to get around it.
Congress (as a whole) acts as if their shit doesn't stink. It's high time they get reminded that it most certainly does.

I can think of four reasons ticket sales have dropped.

1. Much of what Hollywood has been putting out is crap.
2. Politicians increase taxes constantly, resulting in less disposable income for potential movie-goers.
3. Ticket costs increasing - Not much can be done there, theaters do it to compensate for the loss in sales.
4. Streaming is a thing. Why go to a theater to sit in a sticky, uncomfortable seat when one can wait a little while for the movie to hit $STREAMING_SERVICE and watch it from the comfort of one's own home?

will it run off after a rabbit and give you an hour of exercise? Get a real dog people! They clean up all the food you drop. Help you remember countless things, like, what food they can and cannot eat. How much you should feed them. They get you out for walks, see nature, keep your vitamin D dosage up. They help you socialize with other people that have dogs and give you something to talk about instead of awkwardly avoiding politics and just talking about the weather. For bonus points you can get a proper hunting dog and really have fun.

Hahahahaha.

Such as freetaxusa. Search around. Turbotax is so lame and overpriced. Rant: we should just have some basic withholding percentage, tariffs, and then a similar basic flat percentage from all corporate revenue. No funny deductions, no net profit games, just revenue almost like a federal sales tax. IMHO if these were some reasonable level it'd be fine, we could then fund the rest on deficit spending (like we're so prone to do anyways.)

I look forward to the end game where we have no taxes. No corporate taxes. After all they just pass it on to consumers. No income taxes. Just pay for it on import tariffs. Skip that too, why not? We already run a large deficit. All the spending sits on the ever expanding national debt. Now no one has a say except those who sit on massive piles of cash that faces risks of devaluation. Sounds awesome. Even foreign holders of cash/debt. They matter more than the citizens after all. Power to the powerful!! After all, they're already in charge.

What a travesty! What a waste! Hippy nonsense! Do you realize how insane your comment is? Of course, water should reach the sea. Water should replenish aquifers. We should be careful when choosing what and how to dry land farm and what to irrigate. But we aren't, humans are wasteful and greedy.

They were called the Bush tax cuts as a disparaging term. Bush campaigned on eliminating the debt, so fast. But the economy hit a road bump, so he cut taxes. We even then went to war and didn't pay for it. So yea, he gets to wear that. Typical fiscal-cough-cough-conservative. We've been living in his dystopian "the economy sucks so keep taxes low" world view ever sense. Even the democrats couldn't buck the trend. Which is a damn shame.

Best I can tell there's already a classic book in this space: Earl Mindell's Herb Bible. Its a neat coffee table book. You can just read parts at a time and it is enjoyable. Super fun to look out for the herbs that specifically warn they're unsafe during pregnancy ;-) Made me wonder just how effective a cocktail of these would be to induce a miscarriage.

It is likely true that software quality is dropping. But the important point I would like to make is that quality elsewhere is horrible too. Our relatively new house is on its third bathroom sink faucet in about 12 years total time. I cannot fathom how this could be so bad. Car quality, parts, engines, transmissions all of it is worse. Worse parts, worse designs, it all is bad and so much more expensive. A twenty year old car w/ only front wheel drive, a four speed transmission, a reasonable power v6 in comparison is SO solid. A little worse MPG but that is it, and sometimes that isn't so clear cut. I'm sure there are examples of things that have improved, and others that have gotten worse. But those were a couple I can think of off hand. A lot of this is driven by big government making decisions for us, even during republican administrations ironically. Fuel efficiency standards go back to Bush. Anyways, enjoy, the future is gonna suck. And be expensive.

Farmers will bitch about a def burn/regen, but still buy the new huge combine because even with sitting for 45 minutes, they get so much more done so fast it is unreal. So they buy/rent huge equipment they cannot work on because they run so many acres they really have no other options. Our government bankrolls all their risk so land/rent values keep going up and everyone is too happy to question anything. Red America complains about market access while voting in Trade War Trump. We're all so stupid. Nevermind GMO everything. If only we could make tofu w/ all this cheap soy. Nope, we gotta feed it to cows/pigs/chickens. No one cares about the river and aquifer water quality, or how expensive it is to treat for high nitrate levels. Sorry for the slightly unrelated farming rant. But I really wish our local river was cleaner. It is never a focus and so sad. But I'd refer to it as a "water quality collapse." Ironically you have to pay farmers for buffer strips and CRP, I'm not sure they'd do it on their own. Left to their own devices they're even ripping out the shelter belts around here.
