Oh, he claimed it was still stolen in 2016. He says that he won by so much more, but the Democrats stole enough votes to make it look close.

There was a spike in crime during the early 2020’s, but aside from that, you are correct.

Crime has steadily been going down ever since we removed lead from gasoline. (are those things related? Probably?)

Schwarzenegger put out a few videos post Jan 6th that made me respect him so much more.

He’s certainly made some mistakes in his past, and he’s not a perfect person, but damn, that guy really has a solid moral compass.

No, then we would have no way to send astronauts to space, and no way to reliably and cheaply send satellites up.

Force him to divest from spacex.

You think he’s happy? Dude is fucking miserable.

Another EMT here. The vast majority of the time it happens because of two mistakes, people almost never get seriously injured because of one thing, it is usually “I disabled or ignored this one safety step, then I got distracted for a second at the wrong time” or something similar. Could be alcohol, could be laziness, could be pressure to finish something for a boss that doesn’t care.

Safety is typically defense in depth, and one failure isn’t enough to cause a major issue.

Tho, there are MAJOR exceptions.

That’s one of the ways proposed for terraforming Venus. Put in a sun shield to freeze the planet, let the CO2 snow down, then process the CO2 into something that can sequester it away so it doesn’t just go back into the atmosphere after removing the sun shield.

Of course none of that is technically possible right now, but it’s a lot easier on a planet that has no (known) life to destroy while working through the process.

Hopefully he never pays, and those folks get jaded and stay home instead of voting for trump.

Name a single good thing and Trump will make it worse.

His supporters are the ones who will most be hurt by his policies.

Dr. Strange had his injury in 1963, he probably went through medical school in the 1950’s and has been studying magic, not medicine ever since. His techniques and knowledge are extremely out of date.

Depends on which season. Are you extrapolating current JD? Or can we pick season 1 JD, where he has a lot of knowledge, but very little experience, and wasn’t a very good doctor yet?

Depends on the writer, but they handwave a lot of those problems by the fact that replicators need a lot of energy to work (voyager explicitly said they didn’t have the spare power and used hydroponics and trade to supplement), and a lot of critical components couldn’t be replicated (dilithium, and antimatter containment parts. Also the isolinear computer chips were non-replicatible). I think you’d also struggle with any weapons systems, which might include shields.

Essentially you could build the hull and most of the mechanical parts, but not the critical systems.

Yes, it’s called a paper copy of the vote cast. The problem isn’t technical, it’s a trust issue.

You can’t trust an entirely digital process for voting, because either it’s not independently auditable, or it’s not anonymous. Our current system of vote counting requires an independent group of people counting a subset of the ballots in order to ensure the voting was done fairly. You can’t do that if the process is entirely digital.

The people in this thread aren’t just jumping on a Musk bandwagon, the dude is a moron and he is trying to sow doubt in the process.

I myself support the current scantron style system that we use in our local election offices here. You get the instant electronic counters, and you get a paper ballot that can audit that the electronic counters did their job correctly. There are many other ways to have a perfectly valid system, but this one is extremely robust against any sort of tampering.

To be fair, I wouldn’t trust a computer program for voting either, but I would trust and ride in an autonomously landing rocket.

Which is why I much prefer the scantron type fill in the bubble ballots, you get a full digital count with an easily cross referenced ballot.

Democrats should put their best foot forward in every senate race. Push hard and get the message out. It just takes a couple unlikely wins. Maybe they won’t win the senate, but it might push enough people to vote blue in local races.

Only if it’s windy and cloudy. A calm sunny day at 21f is fine for walking around in shirtsleeves.

Page and a half here, and almost all of it was uncontested local elections.

I found limited, but useful information from my state bar association about the judges running on my ballot.
