The UI of the Taco Bell Self-Service Kiosks is fantastic

Just imagining touching that screen that thousands of others have touched before you, lol, grab the app on your phone. -
While i liked it, but didn't love it, i'd say just get all access, cancel and play all their games for a year for like 30 bucks, the premiere also doesn't seem worth it as at some point the like 7 premiere level games end up on basic. From what i remember Andromeda was basically the Halo story line but in Mass Effect, at least it felt really similar, lol. It plays nice, looks nice, and has some really awesome environments, but the dialog was just downright bad, and while the Ket are basically the Covenant they're far less developed and are basically just bad guys you shoot at.

Never underestimate the power of greed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/investigations/dog-auction-rescue-groups-donations/?utm_term=.6c977aac5af7 An effort that animal rescuers began more than a decade ago to buy dogs for $5 or $10 apiece from commercial breeders has become a nationwide shadow market that today sees some rescuers, fueled by Internet fundraising, paying breeders $5,000 or more for a single dog. The result is a river of rescue donations flowing from avowed dog saviors to the breeders, two groups that have long disparaged each other. The rescuers call many breeders heartless operators of inhumane “puppy mills” and work to ban the sale of their dogs in brick-and-mortar pet stores. The breeders call “retail rescuers” hypocritical dilettantes who hide behind nonprofit status while doing business as unregulated, online pet stores. But for years, they have come together at dog auctions where no cameras are allowed, with rescuers enriching breeders and some breeders saying more puppies are being bred for sale to the rescuers.

Saudi's are paying mercenaries from Sudan to fight in Yemen, many are children. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/world/africa/saudi-sudan-yemen-child-fighters.html Some families are so eager for the money that they bribe militia officers to let their sons go fight. Many are ages 14 to 17. In interviews, five fighters who have returned from Yemen and another about to depart said that children made up at least 20 percent of their units. Two said children were more than 40 percent. To keep a safe distance from the battle lines, their Saudi or Emirati overseers commanded the Sudanese fighters almost exclusively by remote control, directing them to attack or retreat through radio headsets and GPS systems provided to the Sudanese officers in charge of each unit, the fighters all said.
