Oh, and it’s America’s top seller of toilet paper–moving enough rolls in a year to encircle the globe. Costco’s sales have almost doubled in the past five years to nearly $40 billion....

The letter, which is led by Representatives Pramila Jayapal, Raul Grijalva and Jason Crow, states that after the White House Executive Order ending privately operated prisons, members of Congress called for President Joe Biden to expand the order to include ICE detention, but “it appears that ICE is moving in the opposite direction.” It cites a September 29 ICE contract to detain up to 1,875 immigrants at the GEO Group-operated Moshannon Valley Correctional Center in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania and expansion of the Pennsylvania Berks County ICE detention center for use as an adult facility for women....

Half shield operators like Blitz and Fuze can use their pistol whilst holding up their shields, but the gun’s accuracy is so bad in Rainbow Six Siege that players should forgo using it this way. To do any real damage, shield operators have to put their primary method of defense away. Doing so can take a couple of seconds, and by the time they’ve got their secondary weapon out, the enemy has had enough time to formulate a strategy around the shield operator....

Well, they get boring if, like me, you don’t give a rat’s hindquarters about dresses. The broadcast itself will be boring–although the presence of host Steve Martin will at least keep me on my toes. The awards will be boring, too. “Chicago’s” gonna win everything, folks. And even the “upsets” will be boring. After all, is it really an upset if Daniel Day-Lewis beats Jack Nicholson when everyone knows he’s the only person who has a shot at the upset?...

In the friendlier group are several prominent social scientists, including anthropologist Margaret Mead and sociologist David Riesman. Miss Mead believes that many traits we call masculine and feminine are merely inherited stereotypes. Like spokesmen for women’s lib, she proposes that men share child-rearing and domestic chores and that women be encouraged to learn aggressive, masculine pursuits. Riesman thinks that the movement will become very important during the ’70s. “The situation of women has improved in all sectors,” he says, “and improvement, as always, leads to heightened expectations....

The program, to be sure, is superb. And in many ways it makes the home personal computer as productive as the PC you use at work. The trouble with the Quicken cult is that users spend too much time tracking those nickels–and not enough time on more important concerns, like drafting wills. Many users are so dazzled by what it can do that they ignore what it can’t. Quicken should be just one part of a broader plan....

That feeling has grown more palpable now that Chavez appears to have outlasted the two-month strike against his rule. Led by businesses and unions, the strikes had crippled the oil industry and brought the economy to a crawl, yet failed to push Chavez into early elections.
