The crux is that a first-past-the-post voting system incentivizes voting for one of the two big parties. Voting third party is equivalent to voting against your preference of the top two. There’s a bunch of really neat voting systems that avoid this problem handily.

They make little pillows filled with seeds or cherry pits. You can microwave 'em to get them hot. Love those things. Would recommend the seed filled ones over the cherry pit ones. The cherry pits feel coarse.

Just replace them as soon as you notice the surface is broken.

So like twice a month?

Either that or have hinted at force powers earlier in the movie at least.

There’s no such thing as dying of old age. Just dying of something where you’re old enough where people go “yeah that tracks” instead of “oh no! so young!”.

For anyone reading along: That’s called hexchat these days.

I honestly find adult Anakin to be way more annoying.

Except for comedic purposes. Sometimes a bleep just sounds more vulgar than the swear word it’s hiding.

I think you’ve answered your own question.

Surely it could just wait with signaling the end of the program until the water has drained?

You can fit in way smaller spaces when backing in. Once you get the knack for it it’s not really harder than going in forwards either.

protip: look in your side mirrors and pretend it’s a video screen. if you want to go left steer left, if you want to go right steer right. Don’t even start thinking about “It’s on the left in the mirror so on the right in real life, but it’s backwards so…” or you’ll have a bad time.

Thank god not everyone does this or you’d see millions of them everywhere. There’s definitely the odd deranged dog owner who thinks it a good idea to – instead of cleaning up the dog shit – package it such that it does not ever decay.

I’ve got a tendency to pick these up and throw them out because otherwise I’ll be looking at them for months.

A dutch bicycle. Made from steel, with a kickstand, a chainguard a dynamo and internal gear. Built to last.

If you want to spend slightly more, go for one with a hub dynamo. Those have way less resistance, and don’t have a tendency to stop working in snowy weather.

I’m still on the original google pixel, and I am dreading the day I’m forced to upgrade. It has the backside fingerprint sensor, and is in general pretty much the platonic ideal of a smartphone.

I mean… doesn’t the soap get washed as you use it to wash yourself?

you will end up bringing down production or make a however many tens of thousands of dollar mistake. Don’t worry about it too much when it happens. That sort of thing doesn’t usually get you fired the first time.

It’s great for keeping rust off tools. Just the slightest whiff of vaseline will keep rust away for years. I tend to use a spray can of vaseline for that though, not a tub.

I mean that sort of thing is pretty much standard operating procedure for any forum. Whenever you ban anyone the first thing they’ll do is make a new account. Keeping out the spammers and whatnot is hard enough without return customers.

You pull up on the orange bit with the hole on it. It’ll take some force since the opposite end will perforate the packaging as you do so.

I think messages from other iphones show up as green, with messages from android phones showing up as blue. No clue how this interacts with group chats.
