I feel the Feds vs States is on already. The States are just not really responding yet.

Just keep it to yourself if called to serve.

Yah I was trying to arrange a meeting but the email kept bouncing. Thanks, Microslop!

Haven’t heard Red Dragon referenced in a very long time. Loved that game.

Some tvs will attempt to connect with another and use its internet link if available. Samsung tries this.
