Of course, now that Putins biggest asset is back in place. Remember when Russia took out American agents in Russia, shortly after Trump requested a list of those people from the agencies, which was shortly after a talk with Putin that went without any witnesses?
In my country, I can understand that children read less. Many don’t learn about books at home anymore, and the books we throw at the kids in school are bound to alienate kids from ever touching books again.
First past the post. Electorate college. Overrepresentation of smaller States. Gerrymandering. PACs.
And thats just the ones that pop up immediately. For calling yourself a democracy, your system is quite rigged.
I once waited half an hour for voting, because I foolishly decided to vote just when Sunday mass was over (we vote on Sundays, and my polling station was right across the church). Never made that mistake again, waiting time is usually five to ten minutes.

Could be. Key fobs use button cells.
Normal AA or AAA battery, or a CR<something> button? If it is a button cell, try wiping it with alcohol before you insert it. Many modern button cells have a coating that tastes horrible to prevent people (children) from taking them into the mouth. I’ve noticed that on some brands, this coating measurably increases the resistance of the cell, not only reducing the the power it can deliver, but als making it appear “emptier” than they are ofor the measuring circuits. Wiping off the coating with alcohol (90% isopropanol) expanded the cells’ life (in a kitchen scale to boot!) significantly.
In the US, white, rich and influential people don’t get arrested just because they committed a crime!
Regarding comprehensive knowledge: there might be a lot of topics where you lack the knowledge to write a good and detailed answer. There might even be topics where you don’t even have a clue what they are actually asking about.
But I am sure there are topics where you are the person in the know. And someday, someone will ask a question where you are the person perfectly qualified to answer it.
Don’t worry, the money is not gone. It is just with someone else, probably one of the billionaires.
I have seen such an idiot riding downhill with 40km/h and texting. I stayed far behind him so I at least had a chance to brake in case he made a meat crayon. Luckily I had to leave the road shortly after while he was still texting.
Sue them for voter intimidation.
We only had one group visiting on Halloween. But that’s due to a decline of Halloween in general in this area - the fad is over. Here it basically started when our kids were young, and there were maybe five to ten groups coming through. But after a few years, it simply declined.
I still buy some sweets - I don’t want to disappoint kids - but whatever is left goes into the sweets bowl at work.
That is the maximum annual pay for a 0-60 h/week job.
Either “Boredom: After some time you have seen basically everything.” or “Can’t keep up: The world changes so fast, and I’m, stuck in a mindset I acquired in 1543”.
And: Bureaucratic nightmare. “We have you on file as being born in 1924, but you don’t really look like a centennial. Can I see your passport instead of that of your great-grandfather, please?”
Not much of a difference, except that in one Georgia they already have voted.
Trump will tell them that he is the most sophisticated president ever, even when he loses and ends up in the psych ward.
I’m outing me as ancient:
Second that! Worms was great fun when hanging out with friends.
And they have yet not arrived in the 20th(!) century. They are sending this form only to young men, not women.
