Yeah, it was definitely a get readers attention scare tactic. 10% tax on hotels is nothing.

It’s like saying “We had to raise our taxes to match that of Florida districts due to federal cuts by Trump”

Sensationalism, but some may be more true than others

No shit, what else would I have meant?

10%, that’s a large difference than 900%. This is one of the times I came to the comments to see if the article is worth reading, now I guess I have to to figure out the fuck they meant

I always liked making bread when I was younger, but I hadn’t made any in about 10 years and tried a bread maker recently that someone gave us.

Why do I feel like it’s so much harder to make in a bread maker. Just throwing it on a pan seems so much easier for me.

Humbleness I see

I am above average at identifying things that I enjoy doing.

Palia. It’s free on Xbox and PlayStation. Has in game purchases but I’ve never bought one. My fiancee started playing it recently and ask me to play. You can grow a farm, it’s 3D, get a glider, run around and do missions. (MMO) Play with others and get bonuses in XP. I’m only about 3 hrs gameplay so far. It’s cross platform because she plays Xbox, so if that helps… idk

Edit: also fishing, chopping wood, story lines idk. It’s worth checking out if you have time/access.

Edit 2: my fiance wanted me to say they have a Halloween event going on right now, and they have gatherings/events to encourage people to meet each other and team up and help each other grow

“lighthearted” discussion Trump called it according to the article. Joking with him about sending missiles that will incapacitate fuel for his constituents or soilders and their equipment.

Out of curiosity, what does this do to the USD? I know it is a “small” amount relative to our country, but if they are swapping $40b in U.S. Dollars for a currency of high volatility, isnt it a guaranteed loss of believed stability in those USD up to that amount?

The illusion of the U.S. being a free country will hold for a while, to those who wish it is true. That’s the problem

I’ve done similar. Went and found something in a store, then searched for it online to find the same part number and free shipping, because things like a mattress won’t fit in a normal vehicle. Much rarer these days though, because you used to save money doing that, now the prices arent lower, and stores have learned to offer cheap/free shipping on large/bulk items

Since Batman doesn’t wear glasses and has a mask, I feel like it’s just as likely he’d have a like a smart glasses type thing built into his mask. So he really wouldn’t have to look anywhere but the notification would just be a translucent overlay.

Or maybe full coverage heat retardant smart contacts, so they protect his eyes from any debris/explosions. Kind of like what Tom Cruise wore to perform the outside the plane stunt in the last mission impossible movie. Covers the whole outside of the eyeball so the wind does dry out your eye or make it so you can’t see.

Didn’t see the movie, but heard about the stunt

To me giving a company or government permission to create the databases allowed for mass facial recognition is the same thing as giving the facial recognition data to criminals. It will be leaked/hacked/sold, etc. It is only a matter of time.

How many Social security numbers in the U.S. have been leaked/hacked/sold/illegally transferred? ~340 million.

Facial recognition will be a near useless tool for security in 10 years, and 100% for population monitoring at the rate we are going.

Found it, this was the comment you were pointing me to right? I’ll save it and I’m going to dig through all these sites/suggestions on Friday night/ Saturday to narrow it all down. Those do look cool! Thanks

I’ll be sure to check it out, thanks for the ping

Catan Jr, didn’t know that existed I’ll have to look into what games are around. I know her Dad taught our parents how to play Settlers of Catan a number of years ago before she was born, so that’s something that she may have parents/grandparents to play with. She has a brother that is 2 years younger, so maybe they’ll be able to play that together soon enough.

Unfortunately I’ve only seen her a couple times because the distance and my time/money. I know she likes animals, they go to beach and waterparks. She likes Halloween, even when she was 3 she was trying to make friends with the giant blow up scary things. She’s got a 2 wheeled scooter she likes. Baking, crafts. Swings, pools… they are always going on trips it seems. (Thankfully my brother has a family shared album so I’ve seen 1000s of pictures of her growing up and always doing things). They are I suppose upper middle class, and I’m not lol. So it’s one of those trying to find something that they wouldn’t have off hand bought her when they saw it, and I know my brother likes Legos, so I assume she has any cheaper set she would have liked.

My brother has done quite well for himself, and married a lawyer and what not on top of it, so I know he’s already got a game room with that really nice millennium falcon and such next to his game consoles. I just kind of figured any Legos she would have wanted that were on the cheaper side they would have bought her. So I figured more obscure gifts or something different would end up being something she already has.

Ill have to look into what that is, thanks for the suggestion!

Might be able to build one, could be worth looking into, thanks!
