The courts will see right through that and make your friends pay taxes on what they consider reasonable rent. You just hope there is no audit.

It probably wasn't before. Hard to say, but it is unlikely this won't cause a limit. Someone will need to do without after this though it probably won't be drones. Still however that is just got a worse life even if they never know it.

i can't wait for the day content is there. I always look there first but too often I can't find anything close to what I want.

Meanwhile just as good chefs that didn't get the fame break (or possibly better but their personality means they shouldn't be let out of the kitchen) are struggling to make ends meet.

Because the customer and user are not the same people and insurance is keeping the costomer happy. High prices mean I cannot afford to quit my job or retire early. I have to have a job to have any form of insurance at all. It is great for the hr department that buys my insurance. In theory I can buy my own on the market but that means the thousand dollars a month my employer is paying gets thrown away.

it is also a death sentence to be on the frontlines with no way to learn where you need to go. unsecure comms are better than no comms and russia isn't competent enough to provide secure comms.

Old cars are much less. A good driving record makes a big difference. I fear the day when my kids are old enough to drive.

They have to master records differently as too much bass boost will cause the needle to bounce out of the groove and skip.

Records often do sound better. This is a case of garbage in garbage out though - records cannot handle some of the tricks done in mastering to make CDs/digital sound okay on a car radio (that is against road noise), from a phone (tiny speakers) and all the other awful listening environments most people listen to music (a cynic would call this background noise with lyrics not music). So if you want to make a record you have to master it without those tricks and this makes for better music. People who listen to records also generally are listening in a better listening environment. If you can get a CD mastered for a great listening environment and listen to in a great listening environment it would be better than a record could ever be - but you can't get a CD mastered like that and even if you could most people are not listening in a great environment and so the CD will sound worse than one mastered as they are.

At least you can get out.

inflation is a thing and so all unlimited time fixed price contracts are suspect.

Or make them faster and cheaper than russia.

kbin/mbin is another alternative. I have no idea how the moderation tools are, but it is open source.
