My comparison is that the metric system is like color vision. It's like colors for traffic lights, but USC people insist it's fine memorizing which light is which location. In metric you just see the world in a way USC can't, but USC people insist they're just fine.

The most serious blow came from the Supreme Court in the 2013 decision Shelby County v. Holder, which ruled that states with a long history of voting discrimination no longer needed to approve their election changes with the federal government. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion that “things have changed dramatically” in the South, but since the ruling nearly 100 restrictive voting laws have been passed in at least 29 states, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. As a result of the Shelby decision and a slew of new anti-voting measures passed by Republicans in the wake of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, voters in almost half the country will face new voting restrictions at the polls in 2024.

Also talks about a map which sounds like gerrymandering.

From wiki

Seems pretty straightforward.

No spine and succumbs to peer pressure. No surprise here.

In a now-deleted Reddit post, one victim described how a “neo-nazi gang” with “their shirts off with swastika and other nazi symbols” held their friends underwater. One victim suffered a concussion, facial swelling, and a bruised retina resulting in partial vision loss, while another received a bruised eye, according to interviews with the victims. At least two sought medical attention after the attack.

The Observer acquired footage of the attack recorded by an eyewitness and verified the Reddit post’s claims with the victims. Video appears to show individuals who were part of the group that included the ABT members or supporters instigating the fight, which lasted approximately two minutes and took place in a part of the San Marcos River that is only a few feet deep. In the footage, apparent perpetrators seem to submerge two of the victims underwater.

You can see the texture of a wall from hundreds of yards away? You have better vision than I do Legolas.

Talks about South and North Korea, China, Japan. No mention of Taiwan.

Like how close do you have to get before you can even see that it's rough? Brutalism can be seen the second you see the building.

"It's not brutalism, it's concrete expressionism!" Or some shit like that.

I can only think they thought it looked good from a distance, which it still doesn't but from making a little model it can seem clean and all that.

Eh that doesn't look so bad.

Original time line has 365.2421897... days per year. That makes it too easy to skip leap years every now and then. So what if it was the opposite direction?

 

Where I was it went from 3.5" floppies to USB drives. (There were CDs, but not as easy for things like schoolwork.)

ZIP needed a whole ecosystem of drives, so did you have that?

 

You'd think they'd increase the number of judges or whatever. They're going to have the cost regardless, so do it faster.

 

That's exactly what I need, but he's just selling a program.

Anyone know exercises for the scapular stabilizers?

 

Though it makes for better TV to have Picard.

Like there is so much salt in processed food I never felt the need to actually use the salt shaker (until I cut out processed food).

What does this mean for iodine intake? [FYI iodine was added to salt a long time ago because they found people were low in iodine. At the time people used salt shakers. Are we low now because, I'm figuring, people don't use salt shakers as much? Some googling says processed food doesn't use iodized salt.]

 

If so you should make an announcement and sticky it.
