Comment We need to get rid of the income tax (Score 1) 150
Go to a consumption tax. No more 1040 forms, no more April 15, no more deductions from your paycheck and biggest of all, no more having the government know how you earned every penny.
Before someone one-note-nelly's that the consumption tax is regressive, so is an income tax. They fixed the income tax, they can fix the consumption tax.
Replacing the income tax with a consumption tax would also allow major cuts at the IRS since they would only need to focus on businesses.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own your own NASA vehicle this is the NASA 025 command vehicle. NASA 025 was designed to land crewed missions at Edwards Air Force Base. It is the one and only of its kind ever built. Has only 8240 miles on it as driven from Ohio to California then around the Edwards base
As Edwards AFB is a massive dry lake bed space missions (both public and secret) would often land in remote areas of the base miles from the tower. This vehicle would be the onsite command center complete with communications and atmospheric monitoring.

Submission + - Apple's iOS 26 text filters could cost political campaigns millions of dollars (businessinsider.com)
schwit1 writes: Apple's new spam text filtering feature could end up being a multimillion-dollar headache for political campaigns.
iOS 26 includes a new feature that allows users to filter text messages from unrecognized numbers into an "Unknown Senders" folder without sending a notification. Users can then go to that filter and hit "Mark as Known" or delete the message.
In a memo seen by BI and first reported by Punchbowl News, the official campaign committee in charge of electing GOP senators warned that the new feature could lead to a steep drop in revenue.
"That change has profound implications for our ability to fundraise, mobilize voters, and run digital campaigns," reads a July 24 memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, or NRSC.
The memo estimated that the new feature could cost the group $25 million in lost revenue and lead to a $500 million loss for GOP campaigns as a whole, based on the estimate that 70% of small-dollar donations come from text messages and that iPhones make up 60% of mobile devices in the US.

The drone flies automatically around the home, with some obstacle avoidance technology so that it doesn't crash into ceiling light or precious vase
It can also only fly one floor at a time, and has a limited flight time of just five minutes on a single charge
The idea is to scrap multiple plug in cameras around the home and have just one patrolling drone available
