Personally, in the case of Texas, I think they shouldn't permit anyone (i.e., businesses) to 'ban' guns on their property or premises unless they provide armed security personnel on-site to protect you since they're obliging you to be defenseless to be there legally, and that they be required moreover to search each and every single person upon entry to ensure no one sneaks a handgun in, and if they're not willing or able to do BOTH of those things, that they should not be ALLOWED to prohibit a LICENSED individual from carrying concealed, but hey... there are a LOT of things that would be different if I ran the show. Here's another: no city, county, municipality, or any other authority would be allowed to START road construction in more than one area at a time, unless damaged by i.e., a natural disaster, otherwise they'd be required to FINISH working in one area, BEFORE starting work on another, AND I would prohibit the construction of new homes OR businesses, until ALL the roads and sidewalks needed to accommodate the traffic new construction would bring, are FINISHED. (Traffic being snarled for months because they do this shit backwards IS a pet-peeve of mine.)
You sure do like regulations. Federal or state level?
You gun suggestion might make sense when a "license" meant something besides breathing.
Also: The Mega Society accepts members on the basis of untimed, unsupervised IQ tests that the test author claims have been normalized using standard statistical methods. seems legit...
True, I have a free gsuite grandfathered from before the started charging. I can't use google music. My daughter can't use the google assistant on her phone, because I have history and spying stuff turned off as much as possible. It is easy to share calendars and documents, although that's probably easy enough with normal gmail. I can reset passwords for any of the accounts, and do afew other things, like assign aliases within the domain. For example, I usually assign child@domain.com to mother@domain.com until they are old enough. Then I spawn them a personal email.
That article was the kindest I could find. Paul Ryan is informed like doctors are informed by drug reps. He only seems to care about his own idealism and he is either an outright liar, easily manipulated, or kind of stupid. We can argue about which it is, but one of those is true.

Point me at a resource. I've failed to find anything that lists proposed bills that were not taken up, or statistics of who read what. If someone talks about it and seems informed, I'm forced to conclude the read it.
You agree that Ryan's bills are essentially tea party fanfic?
Of course, single policy voters are mostly limited to anti-abortionists.
There were actually two democratic parties in many southern states. I was simply making the point that Democratic and Republican parties of today are not the same as the parties of 50 years ago.
This has been mentioned on Slashdot before, at least in the comments.
Basically, many app developers use frameworks to build their apps. These framework developers can dip into data from multiple apps and use that data to locate people. They can also identify people by geo-fencing the phones at night, when most people are home asleep, and correlate that to tie an identity to a phone.
The majority of dissenting Democrats where Southern Democrats, nearly non-existent today. There's a reason minorities feel more comfortable in the Democratic party today.
So you think that you got what you got because of privilege ("ladders"), and you are afraid of losing it for reasons beyond your control.
bullshit.
I think I succeeded because I put in hard work and I'm pretty good at what I do, probably exceptional. Ladders refer's to functional methods of improving one's lot. For example, livable wages. This ensures that people have money to buy stuff and hire people to do the things they don't want to do. Poverty wages allows the capital class to abuse labor and prevents liquidity in the economy. Another example, public education. This creates a floor of knowledge and ability. I can safely assume most of my potential customer can read, for example.
Where I draw the line, however, is when you project your own ignorance and your insecurities onto others.
Your projecting, if you had an ounce of self introspection or empathy you would understand me. As it is, you're too deep in the "I got mine" camp.
Yeah, renting a movie VOD is way more then Redbox, and more expensive then grabbing the same movie from Amazon usually.
That said, Comcast has a very extensive library of "free" VOD selections, depending on what channels your subscription includes. When I had uverse, their HBO VOD selection was terrible, with comcast it looks like the whole catalog is there. It's basically identical to HBO GO.
My box will also tell me if I tune into the middle of something and there is a VOD option. I can click a button and switch to the VOD so I can start from the beginning.
It is, when I first got married, the best cable packages were around $100 / month. They are now north of $200, probably close to $250. This would be everything with Starz, HBO, Cinnemax, etc. It wouldn't be that difficult to spend $250 on cable today.
The other problem is forensic science doesn't seem to be in the business of questioning things, look at how long bad forensic science about fires was accepted, look at how bad fingerprints really are for identifying people.

I'll guarantee you there is a linux that runs stock on your hardware and I'll bet you dollars to donuts it's OpenSUSE.
I've called Comcast many times and been into one of their Indianapolis storefronts to pick up my own equipment and self install.
You can also backdoor your access by configuring an onion site or using a vpn that forwards ports. I know AirVPN includes this feature.
ugh...
Yeah, their pricing is awful for groups or families.
A stunning display of circular logic.

...just bragging...
Never had trouble with AT&T or comcast blocking ports. AT&T's stupid router lost my settings a couple times a year, but on Comcast I can use my own.

Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi both seem to be well versed in the budget bills. I'd imagine the read them.
Paul Ryan writes his own budget bills for the same reason teenagers write their own fanfic about Bart and Milhouse getting it on.
No, but I understand why you might think so.

Institutional racism, we've been over this before. What have you done to improve things?

Government has citizen input, not so for corporations; especially private.
Question?
Is voting a duty / responsibility, or privilege?
Risk of damage from dusting? That's a little far fetched.
So you think that you got what you got because of privilege ("ladders"), and you are afraid of losing it for reasons beyond your control.

Thanks for showing up to shit in the punch bowl, your contribution is appreciated. Next time eat more nuts... or is that cannibalism...
