It’s not going to be over until one of them concedes which isn’t likely to happen quickly. So I’ll relax after Christmas.

They are the reason the Soviet Union was a near peer to the USA during the cold war. When the Soviet Union lost Ukraine they lost their engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Heck up until the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine was the one servicing all of Russia’s nukes.

My stove has been blinking 00:00 for as long as I can remember. Lost power briefly about 6 months after I moved in and I never reset the clock.

I work in the event industry as a production manager, I get to write these things.

As is typical when you have a large crew there will be dietary restrictions, some of them can be deadly. So before me or any of my crew starts unloading the truck I need to have a cold Dr. Pepper in my hand. If I don’t, we doordash, we do not eat the food provided.

I always say everyone should see requiem for a dream, but no one should watch it. That film does more for stopping drug abuse than any government program ever did.

This is the same AG who says he wants more teen pregnancies.

I setup and run events. Nothing particularly messy, but very sweaty. On setup days I can do a half marathon just by moving equipment to where it needs to go.

I’m not smart, but as I understand it, states sue Google, case goes into discovery, Google gives up it’s evidence, states refuse to give up theirs, judge forces states to give up their evidence so discovery can continue. Although I do not agree with Google as far as the case goes (antitrust over google ads) this seems like it’s following SOP and shouldn’t be news.

Oh, we’re not that organized. The only thing that they really do is require some form of government ID. They don’t really care what they just need to identify you.

They don’t check if you’re allowed to vote, or if you’ve already voted before you vote, as those machines aren’t connected to the internet, so there’s no database to check against. It is checked after the fact when they start counting as the counting machines are connected to the internet.

We had an issue about a decade ago where they were able to hack voting machines on election day, ever since then voting machines aren’t allowed to be connected to the internet.

Where I am there’s simply too many people to have a single location, so there are 4 different locations you can vote at in the district.

Tools, it’s really handy when I needed a thermal camera for a project and didn’t feel like spending hundreds for a tool that would get used once.
