None of the resources detailed in this post provide any form of immediate assistance to resolve an ongoing threat to your ability to cast your vote.

They will not help you find a lawyer. They will not help pay for that lawyer. They will not contact law enforcement and apply pressure to have them respond in a timely manner.

These should NOT be your first call. They should be who you report to after the fact to pursue long term remediation.

If you are a Democrat, call a left-leaning political org with sufficient funding and an army of lawyers.

If you are a Republican, call a right-leaning political org with sufficient funding and an army of lawyers.

THEN call the folks in the OP

If your ballot is never cast, it can’t be fixed later. The best the folks in the OP can do is punish the people who committed the crime. They can’t get your vote counted. The political orgs are specifically set up to help in real-time to make sure you and everyone else at your polling place gets to vote NOW!

Get it? Because it’s a period piece?

I’ll see myself out

I appreciate your capacity to recognize a valid argument even when it conflicts with your initial position ❤️ It’s more than I expect from the average internet commenter

It’s a charicature. I’m not laughing because I think it’s real (which would be kind of mean, anyway, since I’d just be laughing at someone screwing up). I’m laughing because it’s relatable to real experiences many people have had, and because of the added commentary about software development.

Your hyperfocus on reality in media, and failure to see the comedy for what it truly is, is far more cringe than the video 😉

EDIT: it’s like asking why people laugh at the obviously fake stories stand-up comedians tell because they’re made up. Like, yeah, no shit, that’s not the point.

My pleasure :D

Ado has a crazy range of styles in their music too; it’s very hit or miss for me. This one needs to have me in the right mood heh.

Some tracks worth checking out that have a different style:

• All Night Radio
• Kura Kura (arranged by the unbelievably talented Yoko Kanno)
• MIRROR
• Value
• Dried Flowers (cover)
• Yoru no Pierrot

And while it’s much more similar to the OP track, no Ado song list would be complete without her most famous song and the one that shows off her vocal creativity and flexibility the most:

• Show

The range she has in her voice is truly impressive. Interestingly she has no formal vocal training and learned everything emulating sounds from other musicians and especially vocaloid tracks.

She also writes almost all her own songs and is heavily involved in the mixing and production process

Oh, and she’s only 22, but has taken Japan by storm

For anyone questioning this logic, try running your “idle” CPU without a heatsink of any kind.

Hahaha I figured something like but couldn’t resist the opportunity :D

For those following along: SEAWATER IS NOT SALINE EITHER. Just making sure we’re clear on everything

Fair enough on the first point!

The interesting scenario re: Polaris A’s age would be if a larger, younger original star merged with a smaller, much older star. You’d have a small amount of late-stage byproducts in an otherwise relatively early-stage star. That would definitely make any age models ‘confused’ heh

I could imagine a scenario where the math works out such that the star appears a lot younger than it is despite being the product of a merger of two older stars, based on the masses and ages of the contributing objects and the amount of different material contributed by each

This is only sort of true, unfortunately. Polaris is a two-star system: Polaris Aa and Polaris B.

Polaris B is much older than sharks, by several billion years.

Polaris Aa appears to be younger than sharks, at a measley 50 million years old, compared to sharks’ 420 million years

HOWEVER it is unclear whether Polaris Aa is actually that young. Scientists believe that, based on some contradictory findings, that measurement may be inaccurate if Polaris Aa is formed from two different stars that merged. In that scenario, the model we use to calculate star age would no longer work and could give wildly inaccurate estimates of the star’s true age

TMYK

Dishonest men still get to vote though

I’m not even supposed to be here today!

It is important to note that while a FICO score is roughly equivalent to “trustworthiness”, the three credit agency scores (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) are NOT meant to reflect your trustworthiness directly. Rather, they are specifically designed to inform lenders of your profitability for them.

It’s an important distinction because having a an outstanding payment history alone won’t improve these scores, if you aren’t utilizing available credit and maintaining some running balance with lenders.

Basically, if you’re just going to borrow money and never pay any interest on the loans, you aren’t actually a source of profit and therefore aren’t a desirable customer for lenders and creditors

Because there is value in a large group speaking with a unified voice to say “this is wrong, and you need to know that the rest of us think it’s wrong. Your behavior will affect the relationship you have with us all going forward”. Direct intervention isn’t the only form of consequence.

Is it the best solution to the problem? No. Is it still worth doing? Yes.

I don’t give a shit about David Hasselhoff, but Knight Rider without Mr Feeney as KITT wouldn’t be the same

Just a heads up, people should be wary of playtron to a degree: the CEO is a guy named Kirt McMaster. Anyone from the Android enthusiast community may know him as the guy who convinced the creator of CyanogenMod to incorporate (becoming Cyngn) and then drove the company into the ground chasing skinning and theming revenue, and wouldn’t even allow the community to keep the cyanogen brand (they had to rebrand it to LineageOS)

Kirt sucks. He’s a terrible leader and a terrible businessperson. I’m sure there are plenty of great people involved in playtron but with him at the helm of the company I am not expecting it to end well

Portion control. Don’t assume you can handle a full joint after a t-break. When I’m smoking infrequently a joint can last me 6+ sessions and I’ll be perfectly happy.

It’s literally a multiplayer competitive shooter. That’s the game.

“What the fuck is the internet?”

Then Ben Affleck would show them movie poop shoot dot com to demonstrate

Bahnnngggg
