The social security tax cap is going to be lifted before 2033

Seems like I need to retire within 8 years. That's a major tax hike.

FWIW they would get massively closer to making social security solvent if they stopped raiding it to fund disability. Funding disability was never an intended use of social security. It wasn't in legislation, that was just a judge's ruling that hasn't been overturned

Better yet what if the dwarf sat on the Pirate's shoulder like a parrot squawking "put me in coach!" until there was a 4th and short?

The unspoken premise here is that Tom Cruise is not a super friendly, wholesome guy. He just tries so hard to be. The character of Vincent is much closer to what Tom Cruise really is than any other character he's ever played.

FWIW Christian Bale used Cruise's over the top extrovert interview style as an inspiration for his serial killer character in American Psycho.

I feel roughly the same about Cruise as I did about Michael Jackson. You can't deny the quality of material that he produced. But I wouldn't trust him with my children.

So far as I know there's no sexual abuse but the Scientology methods of rearing children are unacceptably abusive between the forced labor, separation from non Scientology family members, and the grilling of their members for secrets to the used as blackmail if needed. There's a decent book written by Miscavich's niece that details what it's like to be a child when you join the Scientology church.

It is a peculiar culture that confuses women's fashion with larping as a Jawa.

The previews are well done but the movie is populated by marginal characters that I don't have much interest in

Wasn't Martindale's show the one where the guy memorized the sequence? Tic Tac Dough?


No. That was Peter Tomarken and Press Your Luck. Michael Larson was the guy who cracked the code.

There is a movie about him out now. The luckiest man in America.

Kind of a fun nostalgia watch. After the credits they show the real guy interviewed by the host (Peter Tomarken).

I think a good rule is no administrator should be the type who engages in extended personal back and forth exchanges with other posters.

And, like politicians, the best people will have less interest in running and be unlikely to serve

Saw it in a theater. It was hard to find but hopefully word of mouth generates more availability.

There are a few.

High school working some concession stands in the zoo. Mostly okay except for the cotton candy one. Tiny stand which would get incredibly hot when you combined summer heat, no AC, and the heat of the cotton candy machine.

The sugar had to be poured into the middle thing, then you lean into the cavity and use a paper cylinder to collect the spinning sugar. You get burned every time you touch the machine. You get strands of spun sugar in your hair and eyebrows. If you aren't drinking enough to make up for the sweat you will likely pass out. Between the BO and the spun sugar you have a confusing combination of stink and sweet bubble gum etc all over you.

If you don't have a change of clothes and do have cloth seats it will look like someone murdered a sweaty clown in your car
