Sooner or later - SMASH.

I think they know this. The bill is not being created to go after drug users. How about we end the war on drugs (prohibition doesn’t work). That takes the profit out of it, it puts potentially revenue into the government if we are smart, and it gives us money to help the adicted.

It is like warrantless wire tapping.

Or as with other such bills in the past it just gets expanded and used in ways it was not “inteneded” to be. Can you say “Patriot Act”? “Aimed” at terrorists”. How about “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act” (RICO). “Aimed” at the mob.

I am sure she would like to go after the owners of the “Shadow Library”, the source doesn’t matter. Copyrighted material is copyrighted. If you are using it you have an obligation to know who owns it.

I had that exact same thought on YouTube. Google is blasting users for blocking ads and not here it is in their browser...

He doesn’t see himself as much of anything any more - other than a pile of gelatinous goo anyhow. It is just unfortunate he had to take 4 others with him.

Thanks but no Thanks. Chinese company.

So many reasons I am not using Spotify, Where do I even begin? 

If you need an iPhone to do that... Well anyhow how about reading and interpreting the ODB2 codes?

I thought most Italians actually made their own pasta. When I visited with 3 different groups of people I know there and in 3 different parts of the country - they all scoffed at store bought.

Agreed. Even the smaller venues have been gobbled up by big business and Venture Capital. VC is ruining this country - they are buying anything and everything. There is a good chance even your local Veterinarian office is now owned by VC and that number is growing daily.

I noticed a long time ago... A big concert 5 years ago was about $150 per ticket and the bears were $12-15 - I think that was a 12 oz. Any food was also insane. I think Little Caesars slice was $10 the last event I went to. Now it is even worse.

Greedflation is the term.

And you think people haven’t been doing drugs at concerts the whole time? I disagree. I think it is the expense at the Venues. $15+ for a $6 beer at a restaurant.

I don’t know when that was... Tours have been where bands actually made money for as long as I can remember and I have been around a while at this point.

Oh certainly and then some... I give Russia about a 50-50 chance at breaking up in the next few years. This war Putin started in Ukraine is exposing and expanding internal divisions.

Police state, Yikes! I don’t disagree on many things but come on... He knows he is in violation of the law and his agreement.

You may be correct on that but in general if they can see it from the road you are in trouble BUT your neighbors can request they check from their property, at that point not sure what the rules are. If they used a drone form the neighbor’s property he is out of luck. A warrant would have been the smart approach or…

I would bet on China having a significant chunk of Siberia in the next decade...
