We have paper ballots that get scanned by a machine for the count. That way there is always a paper ballot that can be hand counted if the machine count is ever in question.

The question is better phrased this way:

Is worrying about death useful?

Being aware of your own mortality is a gift. Try to take some time to enjoy it while it lasts.

Either wet, or covered in sesame seeds! 😁

Are you taking any medication for your sinus infection? If so, perhaps your sinus medicine is also therapeutic for your ADHD?

Food is a funny thing. It feeds and nourishes us, but it can also harm us. If I prepared the food and set some aside for myself, I would eat it. If the food was plated for a banquet and never served to a customer, I would eat it. If that same food was served to a customer and looked like it had not been touched, I would not eat it. I would never eat anything that had been served no matter how much I thought it was still edible.

Food can harbor unseen pathogens. Once food has been served, it should be considered contaminated and unsafe for anyone to eat except for the person it was served to. Unless you personally watched that plate go untouched the whole time and you never looked away, that plate should be considered unsafe for you to eat it.

I would imagine that the simple way is to emulate the paper envelopes of commercial seed packages. I believe the key to seed storage is to keep the seeds dry. A paper envelope will allow excess moisture to escape and also allow some moisture from the ambient air to enter.

You can buy paper envelopes or you can make your own with copy/printer paper and a bit of tape or glue.

No disagreement there. He's not a smart man.

I just have this odd feeling that he can't stand the idea of anyone leaving money on the table, even if that money was never part of any plan ever before. I really think he might have started the war because for no other reason than Iran wasn't charging fees for passage through the straight and he couldn't stand to let it happen. That would be supremely stupid and I think Trump might be just dumb enough to have done it for that reason and only that reason.

I feel like this was part of Trump's plan all along. He sees a place where someone could be making money but isn't, and that drives him up the f-ing wall. No idea what Trump's angle on this might be, but considering how much of a hard-on he has for the Panama Canal and how the USA is missing-out on that revenue, I was pretty sure that fees would be charged when the straight of Hormuz reopened.

Aside from being a war crime... gee, I can't think of any reason

I have this issue with one game in Windows. It recommends using a controller but fails to recognize my wireless Xbox-One controller. What it does recognize is the same controller plugged in as a USB controller. You might try that.

Israel sucks! Fuck them. Some Jews are cool. But some Jews can also fuck right off!

If you think killing people because of the group they were born into is good or justified, fuck you!

 

The story is about an artist who isn't very successful until he notices some tiny creatures (aliens?) and they somehow get into his eyes. This makes his art really great, but also drives him crazy. His art is full of those tiny faces, because that is what he sees.

Not sure if it was in a book or a magazine, but I would love to read it again.
