They just print my ballot out on a laser printer when I go to my polling place. My town has one poling place but you can have different districts depending on where you live.

What would be so wrong with nuking Isreal? We give them 90 days to move and we render it uninhabitable. It's the same as when they cut the baby in half in the bible. If people are going to squabble over a worthless area of land because of its historical significance, then we have a duty to put a permanent stop to it.

Pihole hasn't worked with YouTube in almost a decade. They changed their ad service to their own domain, so there isn't any way to distinguish between an ad and a regular video on the domain level that pihole uses.

If you have a bunch of people guess how many M&M's are in a jar you can average the guesses and you'll come very close to the correct amount. A recommendation system can be very democratic in that way. When reddit still had their public API I would take advantage of this fact and use it to decide if something was a "deal" or not on PC parts. I was tracking the prices of computer ram at the time as an experiment. It worked very well. If they are federated properly, then their content can be filtered and appear on an instances front page.

You can't borrow the money?

The RIAA tried to get the original YouTube dl taken down a few years ago. That is why it's called YouTube dlp now.

It's a quality of life improvement. You wouldn't worry about the looks of a screwdriver if it's better than your old one.

Illinois recent AWB has carveouts for police.

Carbon "sequestration"

I can definitely see certain brands doing well with their own forums. Sports teams would be a very good niche for hosting their own instances. Another one would be the entertainment industry. It's just not feasible for companies that aren't interesting to talk about. Like there won't be a Coca-Cola instance worth a lot of users.

The easiest way to deflect criticism is to claim it's racism or antisemitism. China does the exact same thing. It's obvious and lazy. I can't believe people still fall for it. Israel is not the representative of Judaism. They have a far right militant dictator running their country right now who is killing many innocent people. The fact that they are still recognized as a country is beyond reason at this point.

I think most people are qualified to say that killing is bad regardless of the reasons or intent. If the goal of Israel is to put a stop to Hamas attacks then they certainly aren't going to get there by killing random Palestinians regardless. That is only going to create more people who hate Israel in the long run.

Israel is retaliating against civilians for an attack carried out by Hamas. This is what America did in Afghanistan after the attack on the world trade center in 2001. It was dumb and it's dumb now.

It's giving me Iraq war vibes, except my friends aren't getting involved. The escalation doesn't make sense at all unless you consider Netanyahu needed to distract from his aspirations of becoming a dictator.

"Metaverse" was the idea that you would use only Meta services instead of the wider Internet. Much like AOL and Yahoo tried back in the 90s and 00s.

We already have an excess of flights. Just reduce the amount of unnecessary flying.

It's only important for increasing octane. You would have to reduce the performance of the engine on order to prevent knocking.

That's a myth.

You're forgetting the easy third option. Just ground everything that requires leaded fuel. Problem solved.

Republicans are frothing at the mouth for the first incident where someone is released and then commits a crime.

You can just say Zionists.

The worst part about plastic bottles is the energy required to make them.

They go through a 2 stage process where the plastic is melted and injection molded into a "pre-form"

Then they get fed into a blowmolding machine where they are heated in different areas by many 2k watt halogen bulbs. Once they've been heated properly they go into the blow mold where they are pressurized with ~500psi air.

The molds are liquid cooled through an industrial pipe system with an extremely large refrigeration system. The energy required to run all of the equipment is insane. A factory can consume as much energy in one hour as a standard home will in an entire year.

This doesn't include all of the energy required for moving materials around since performs can be made at one factory and shipped to another and empty bottles are often shipped to warehouses and then off to the plant where they will be filled, then warehoused then distributed etc.

My dad has a PhD and he's on his third marriage. Do you think I should ask him life advise? He's dumb as hell unless you need a complex math problem solved. However, he feels like he can punch above his weight when it comes to other issues. It's like a pro football player who thinks they could compete in any Olympic sport because they're good at football.

They placed target stores in areas where people are more price sensitive and therefore less likely to shop at target.

All it needs is...

I don't see how this is much different from u.s. police. You could easily be charged with "assaulting a police officer" in the u.s. if a cop wanted to be a jackass. You could get thrown in jail for months or years until it gets sorted out even if you are found not guilty.

The bill text excludes video game consoles completely.

Probably suicide or stress related

This has been the issue with similar laws for automotive parts. Technically by law they have to make parts available for 10 years iirc. However, they don't have to make them affordable.

It's not important at all why they want to do it.

They enjoy the suffering of others.

Friend had an insight with oil consumption issues, so not those either.

I would start by taking it apart and cleaning it. If there's too much additional load from hair or whatever getting wrapped up in the roller then that would do it.

I would wash the floors and walls to get rid of any dust that is present. Then I would make a room out of plastic sheets. Finally, I would put use a 20" box fan with a 20" furnace filter taped to it to clear the air of dust.

I've had this idea of a larger trading economy based on boardgamegeeks "math trades." You could list an inventory of good used items you'd like to get rid of and then you can select other people's items that you would like to receive in exchange. Then the trading software kicks in and tells you who to send your item to and you receive an item from someone else.

This works for boardgames on a smaller scale, but on a larger scale it lacks a trust system.

A website like ebay would be required to handle the amount of inventory and user rating system. Government id and a chargeback system for disputes would probably be required to help mitigate misrepresentations.

I honestly don't think such a service could be free, but it could work well in other niches than just board games and it would be nice to be able to trade between niches like a car starter in exchange for a blender.

I think it could be federated as well, with different instances being ran for different types of things.

We could call it "freebay"

I suppose the site operator would charge a listing fee. This would prevent people from flooding the site with too many items or a bunch of fakes.

he didn’t understand that people have different concepts for gender and sex

Traditionally these words are/were used interchangeably and getting people to re-learn words is difficult, but an important part of getting people to accept trans people.

I said I'm not aware of everything that was said by each of these individuals, I did read the article which does tell critics to shut up and lacks direct quotes to each incident.

As far as I'm aware, transphobia has a very specific meaning. It gets used very loosely as "those who disagree" or those who don't understand what we're talking about.
Conservatives want activists to push regular people away. When you do that, then you become isolated. Unfortunately, you're stuck playing their game.

It wasn't a defense because I can't tell you from what place these people were coming from or how much or little they thought through their statements and how much they do or don't understand about being trans. It's worth exploring where these people are coming from if you want to change the publics perception of Trans people. You accusing me of being in defense of transphobia is exactly what I'm talking about. Many of these people were lamenting the sudden new wave of political correctness that they didn't understand. Telling them to shut up doesn't get them on your side. "You get more flies with honey."

Trans people are fighting against a multi-billion dollar advertising campaign against them. They're simply a convenient Boogeyman for the far right. It's a very niche to be trans, so unfortunately, advocating for yourself comes with the territory just like any other minority group that has fought to be more widely accepted.

Sure, these reactions aren't happening in a vacuum and the author of the article tells people to shut up if they don't understand trans activism or the attempt at shifting language in the case of Middler. I won't defend all of these people because I'm not aware of everything they've said.

In the case of Chappelle, he's just capitalizing on the political climate. There's nothing wrong with criticism and that goes back to what I said prior and my criticism of this author. That activists will attack anybody who doesn't understand their entire world immediately.

The trans rights movement took off during 2016 and the NC bathroom bill. A bill designed to cause conflict along political lines leading up to the election. At the same time I noticed a shift in rhetoric and it was almost like some obscure corner of Tumblr just went on a rampage across the internet with new talking points about more than two genders, wierd pronouns etc. Many people are not going to understand that kind of thing, especially older people.

Of course this anti-trans rhetoric comes from the far right, but trans activists and people pretending to be them don't make it easy to see where they're coming from.

If we look at the gay rights movement, it was much different. Trans people do deserve to be angry about what is happening to them in the untied states, but at the same time if they want to be more widely accepted they need more clear messaging and they need to accept that people don't understand even the most basic principles of what makes someone trans.

You can't just shut people out and shout them down when they don't know what you're talking about because then they will discard your entire position wholesale.

Of course there are bad faith actors on the right who will pretend to want to 'debate' that's not who I'm talking about. It's the people in the middle who would accept you if only you would accept them even with their faults.
