It’s an all the time thing.

I thought it was illegal after WW2 to draft. Maybe that’s just for here?

If you look at the list in SlapHppy's link you'll see there are many countries which have compulsory military service for both men and women.

In the USA, males have register for "selective service" when they turn 18. That just means your information is on file, and if a draft were instituted (for example, if the USA were attacked and we had to go to war in a hurry), then you could be drafted.

As far as I know, the USA has not had mandatory military service since the end of the Vietnam war in the early 1970s. Today, we have an all-volunteer, professional military. It would take something truly catastrophic to change that, so let's hope it stays that way.

I love my Samsung Galaxy A40 ? My daughter keeps trying to get me to convert to Apple but I won’t do it ?

I have good reasons as to why I will never own anything Apple.

Starting with Apple's history from way back in the late seventies and early eighties. At that time computers for personal home use were in their time of infancy, there were only two companies producing pc's, Apple and IBM. Apple was very stingy with its technology allowing only one are two other clones. IMB gave their technology to the worldwide industry allowing anyone that wants to build clones based on their core. Thus, gave rise to a booming pc industry. So today because of IBM we now have cheap, fast computers spread far and wide, made by many different companies.

Think of the boom this has created for entire industries, employment, money circulation. games, software, the list is endless. All the thanks go to IBM, not Apple.

Speaking of Apple, remember that Apple PC that had no vents or fans (to make it silent)? Due to it having no fans or vents, it was so prone to overheating that it would shut down every single time you booted it up. Gotta love Apple. (/sarcasm)

My new LeBron’s should come in this Tuesday. Hopefully I can use them next week for a few games. ?

Nice!!

I got to practice on a real goal today, and I can definitely tell I am improving. My layups are getting much better, after advice from a guy at my work. (Who also happens to be really good at basketball)

technically all those answers are correct.

@Colin_T Does a 24"x12"x15"inches (5mm glass) need braces?

I just de rimmed another tank and realized it's a 5mm glass.

also, is it okay for a canister filter to sit next to the tank? or does it have to be below the tank?

No, the 24x12x15 made of 5mm glass doesn't need support strips

Power filters can sit next to the tank as long as the motor is below the tank's water level.

This one is better IMO:

I think I dreamt about plecos last night. Might be a little obsessed.
