With a regular drip coffee maker, a lot of people prep it before bed. Take a couple minutes to put the filter, coffee grounds, and water in the tank and set the timer so it is ready to go when they walk into the kitchen in the morning. Saves a couple minutes in the morning and can get that caffeine addiction hit right out the gate.

Wait, why would the response to the “woke left” cancelling Dr Seuss be to… Cancel his book?

Help me try to understand.

THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SENATE. It is the reason Congress is separated in two the way it is.

In the Senate, every State is equal, regardless of physical size or population. A foundational pillar of our Union has always been State equality. The Senate is working EXACTLY as designed, it is there specifically to prevent large States from dictating what smaller States have to do. Larger States have their bigger voice heard in the House. The two serve very different purposes.

The real issue is the House needs to actually be proportional again. The cap at 435 means it cannot be properly representative with States like Delaware and California both existing. A representative in Delaware represents a fraction of the number of people as a Rep in California because the cap limits how that apportionment works. Without the artificial cap from the 1920s, and proper apportionment by population again, our House of Representatives would be more like 1,600 members and actually representative of this country instead of being a glorified pseudo Senate.

That’s how the Senate is designed and intended. That’s not the issue. The capped House functions as a second Senate because it no longer represents population correctly, because of that cap imposed in the 1920s.

Oh it’s simpler than that. They just go around the requirement via loopholes in the agreements. They know they’re required to give priority, so they just make the freight trains too long to fit on the side track on those routes. So if there’s a conflict, the freight train physically cannot get out of the way and the passenger one has to.

$25/hr in CA? That was a rip off from the beginning. One Fair Wage was paying $25/hr in AZ to canvas for them.

Meanwhile they spend millions of dollars lobbying without needing a label. Let’s get those on our politicians like at NASCAR.

I’m cautiously optimistic about this one. Konami is obviously involved since they own the IP, but so far what we’ve seen and heard seems to indicate they’re staying out of it.

The Producer is Noriaki Okamura and, while he does have Metal Gear Survive to account for, he also worked on several Metal Gear games with Kojima, including Metal Gear Solid V, Zone of the Enders, and Policenauts.

The Creative Producer is Yuji Korekado and he’s worked on nearly every Metal Gear game over the years under Kojima.

It’s being handled by legacy Metal Gear lead developers that worked with Kojima before, not an entirely different team remastering something they have no experience with.

As great as Kojima is, he can get in his own way sometimes. I don’t think he would be good at making a faithful remaster, it would turn into something completely different by the end. He’s much more about pushing boundaries in storytelling, not adapting already told stories, even if it is his own just being retold.

It seems like they’re learning from the Vegans.

Finally a tiny bit of justice. Ridiculous that it has taken this long, for so little justice.

Some countries make a lot of money from those domain licenses. Some are small enough that it could weaken or destabilize their economy.

You can buy premixed thermite online. Granted, you’ll show up suspicious when they start looking up sellers and their buyers.

There are varying levels of moderation, and not all moderation is unpaid volunteer like lemmy and reddit. Not all moderation is just morons fighting or porn being posted where it shouldn’t. There are dedicated moderation teams that handle the worst things like child sexual abuse verification and reporting at sites like Facebook, etc. Those are pretty objective based determinations that don’t need to handle moderation criticism or concerns in any way shape or form.

As fucked as that situation is, it’s not the same situation.

It comes down to the fact that she did actually submit an illegal ballot. How that happened is where the shit is fucked up, but the base fact of a. Illegal ballot being submitted is there. In this case, he didn’t actually submit a second ballot, the poll workers didn’t give him one.

If he’s being charged for a crime that requires submitting two ballots, but he only ever submitted one, it’s pretty clear that he didn’t do the specific crime he’s accused of. Even if the context around it is extremely suspect, at best.

As much as no one wants to hear it, this is probably the right decision by the jury.

He didn’t actually vote twice. He never received a second ballot. The poll workers saw he voted previously and didn’t give him another ballot. I’m not sure about this state in particular, but the law is likely written explicitly about submitting multiple ballots, and that didn’t happen here.

His claim about just testing the system is probably a lie, but he claims that if he was given a second ballot that he wouldn’t have filled it out. We have no way of proving whether or not he would have, it didn’t happen. Our judicial system is based on what we can prove, and we can’t prove things that didn’t happen.

The lack of an actual illegal ballot being submitted, and his claim that if the poll workers messed up and he was given another one that he wouldn’t have actually submitted it, was deemed credible enough by the jury. He didn’t actually submit an illegal ballot.

Most other voter fraud cases involve multiple ballots, submitting ballots without voter registration, etc. and not a case where an illegal ballot was never actually submitted.

Like say the off year mark? Plenty of time after an election to find issues with the rolls and far enough away from the next for people to correct issues or register again if needed.

That’ll never happen, can’t disenfranchise citizens with that policy.

NASA aren’t the ones building things. They’re just the ones deciding what the requirements are after Congress gives them a fraction of what they need to accomplish the impossible.

It’s the likes of Boeing that are building and milking it. And they have never done more than the minimum required, and until competition from SpaceX at a fraction of the cost were experts at milking the Cost Plus contracting they essentially required to do anything space related.

NASA will never be in charge of building things on their own. Space too much of a cash cow for the Congress Critters to milk via the complexity and obfuscation of the government contract process. Thinking they would be able to bring anything in house is hilarious.

SpaceX has with their vehicles and options. They’re all more capable than the contact they were built under.

No, but they wouldn’t do anything beyond the exact specific minimums of the grant either.

They never purge these voter rolls AFTER elections do they? It’s always between the time they stop letting people register for an election and when that election happens.
