The second half of Changeling was not as impressive to me as the first in the acting of the main Character.

In addition to this, one day I may also bring both The Help and The Iron Lady at the same time for closer comparison to see if I can find why the later took the award for best actress as the main character.

Next to the wining of oscar for best actor held in 2016 in not understanding it or seeing some potential level I could be missing to understand it, comes that of the one held in 2000.

Also, although oscar held in 2009 shows a bloody fight for best actress nomination in which some of the nominations might be better than some winners of other years, based on the half of Changeling I have seen yet, I wondered how could anyone top that? I did not have the same feeling when I saw The Reader. 

Also one wonders why "the dying girl" in Me Earl And The Dying Girl and the character narrating the story in Mistress America were not nominated.

I have my driver licence since 1994. Do you think that throughout all this period I remember even once being asked for alien number or citizenship certificate number when making or renewing it?

Still that would have been more tolerable if it were not about an entity asking for numbers all of them uniquely and permanently identify that person and already made by that same entity. How often have you seen something like this if at all? Aside from the issue of hardship, if I were a congress member I would seek to make the executive branch explain this because it suggests a risk of incompetency the like of which I have not seen before where a computerized system is used and my faith in that branch capability is not enough to make me assume a good reason here risking not acting on such sign.

You give them your social security number, you still have to give them the number of your citizenship/naturalization certificate and then again your alien number. While they did not ask for this, remember that your age also needs to be driven from date of birth and does not come ready. One day somebody will make a machine that would automatically calculate and search for things like these.

By the way, is 16 years with nobody asking about that number there long enough for the statuary limitation to expire on getting your citizenship certificate?

I talked about this before.The Healthcare.gov website asks for the number of certificate of citizenship (or whatever you call it for a naturalized citizen like me). I have been a citizen since 2000 and never once asked for that number. So what does that tell about the government? It is not like they are still using paper records and get tired of numerous retrieval of information. The government cannot extract one unique number through another unique number and both of them generated by it? As if this is not enough by itself, you have the demand for it suddenly appear like this. So what happened to all the checking on the data before this? They ask to be helped with this information as if the rest of the data is held by the government of France. The government whose job is keeping the data, wants me to help it with my record keeping for a paper it itself generated and gave to me 16 years ago and was never asked for it anywhere before this. This reminds me of dependency on external papers in governments like that of Saddam's Iraq.    

And if this still not ridiculous enough, get this, they also want the alien number. At least when I exclude applications at the level of green card and citizenship, I don't remember being ever asked for this number other than once after coming here to make the social security card in 1992.    

Although I may do like past years and buy my insurance externally, this is still a big joke.

If I were a manufacturer of those things and worried about the effect of not following such restriction in order to get some certification for my product I could explain that to the customer and say if you think you need to be protected from yourself not to be allowed to increase the heat temperature of your own hot-tub then you may need to consider other brands.

I recently took a look at spas and hot-tubs and found that it appears that they preset these at a maximum of 105 F degree. This is maybe one of the reasons that drive people crazy or toward guns or drugs. Even this simple enjoyment had to be spoiled. How good is this over protection that does not even just warren you or add precautions but disable things completely. What else people should be disabled from the capability to do for their protection? Drinking their bleach by selling them quantities enough for individual chores?

You can buy a gun and make others responsible for your choice if you miss use it but you cannot set your hot-tub to higher than 105.
