In Ohio you have to vote early at the county election board and last I checked it was only open regular business hours. For me that means 30 minute drive in, pay for parking, 30 minute drive home. Waiting until election day I can walk to my piling place in 10 minutes, wait in line for 30-45,then walk home in 10 minutes. For a lot of places it’s not as easy as voting on election day.

Surf ninjas. It was the best kind of b movie fever dream.

Nah, some of the background on this I saw had her husband being on the selection committee and forcing the committee to choose her.

This is how it is supposed to be taught. Common core has this exact quality of numbers explicitly shield or in primary school curriculum. Numbers are not static objects but the composite of infinite functions that can be used to determine the value in whatever base number system you want. Next time someone says school didn’t teach math remind them that the US is something like 30th in the world at math and when the department of education tried to do something about it parents said it was too hard to understand and we just kept falling backwards.

I loved my LG v10 and galaxy s5. Those phones just worked and worked great for a long time.

I don’t want a dumb phone. I want a circa 2014 smart phone that is not expected to replace my laptop and serve as a constant data stream for corporations. I want to be able to visit a website on my phone and not have it try to get me to download an app, be ads on 70% of the screen, or just be unreadable formatting. Let me call, text, do a basic online search, play a stupid flash game, and take my money. Stop being greedy and trying to make everything I do monetizable

I can’t believe it’s only 5k.I’m in that much medical debt just from having kids.

Can someone explain to me why we cannot wrap these deep fakes into existing identity theft law? Or at least impersonating a public official /government employee when it comes to politicians.

It’s not it’s just a little effort in remembering the couple major details of people you see frequently instead of feeling exhausted from the anxiety of being stuck in a conversation.

Answer their question with questions. If they ask about your weekend all about their’s then followup on a detail. They will talk for a couple minutes then end with some version of “hey great chat but I need to get a couple things done”. If you want to remain approachable you need to give people the chance to talk but also don’t really need to share much of yourself. Keep tabs on the easy things(kids, spouse, etc) and you have a lot of variations of very basic questions for a short conversation. How’s kid liking school? Did you and spouse have a nice weekend? Then one or two follow up questions to them and you can end the conversation without the other person feeling like you blew them off.

They don’t prepare them to take care of women and monorities either.

If you are interested in noon fiction my favorite is Too Big for A Single Mind by Tobias Hurter. It’s about the beginning of the atomic age with a heavy focus on the interpersonal relationships between all the physicists working on atomic and quantum theory at the being of the 20th century. There is no hard math and most of the concepts discussed are so foundational now that they are taught in high school so it is easy to follow the science. The audio book has fantastic narration as well.

I was doing the audio book and stopped about halfway through. It was a very well layed out and explained narrative of the history of the Renaissance in Italy but the audio book format is just not good for a book this dense. There was too much information for me to keep track between all the various families and political factions and assists. When I have the time to read it I’ll go back to it but I need the ability to flip back a chapter or two easily for a refresher on who various people are.

Overall if you are interested in Renaissance history, politics, or art I would recommend the book but not the audio book. It got into a lot of detail on all the mid level players in a way I haven’t seen previously and does a good job of tying together the way politics influenced art and the daily life of artists and vice versa.

Hyundai doesn’t make gears, they buy them. Idk if they are buying them from the same distributor but I doubt it since that was a major issue.

Libertarians aren’t exactly know for being very honest… Or smart… Or reading the whole page when someone lays out policy positions.

The Ugly Renaissance by Alexander Lee

Tl;Dr all the artist and patrons of the Renaissance were pretty much deviants in every conceivable manner.

Democrats tried but the bills never got out of committee. Especially when had hit $5 a gallon nation wide.
