...Want to talk generalities about the face tattoo set?

From my extensive research on the subject, hours and hours of watching Live PD, face tats=probable cause.

The “Insight Mars” probe just successfully landed on the surface.
Here is the first photo received from the landing site:

We've seen that face before.

In 10 years, that may look like your Congressman.

Depending on where you live, maybe sooner than 10 years.

I think my first VCR cost $400.
At work, we had "time-lapse" VCR's for the cameras that cost around $1,200.
Funny thing, instead of using the "time-lapse" feature, they were recorded in 6 hour mode, so that they could be watched on a standard $50 VCR.
So, why did we record them on a $1,200 recorder?

Cleaning out some stuff and Mom and Dad's house, we found a receipt for a Sears TV from 1978. 19", color, no remote- $519.95.

TVs used to be a major investment.
Households often had ONE.

Now I hear people say how poor they are.
And I see them with 5 TVs in their house. Cable. DVRs. DVDs. Cell phones. etc.

I just bought a VCR at Goodwill last week for $5. I plugged it into my new 43" Smart TV that I bought for less than $200. Tech is getting cheaper and that's a good thing.

This lady didn't get the message.

Over Thanksgiving, some of the family was talking about things you don't see or hear anymore. The term "Be Kind. Rewind." was brought up. The kids looked at us like we were speaking in Mandarin Chinese.

After it was explained, I was then able to launch into my speech about how those kids don't know the satisfaction of slamming a phone down when you're mad.

Yes, tech is getting cheaper. So people buy MORE. Then complain they are broke.

Rewinding was so important most of us had dedicated rewinders just so we wouldn't wear out the expensive VCR.

Speaking of things kids don't understand.
