I guess I have not seen any factual basis to conclude that mail-in voting is problematic. I get the theoretical argument, and can imagine all sorts of USPS conspiracies to rig the vote, but the fact is we have multiple states that allow mai

The 300+ page document you cited to proves my point - almost none of those cases are related to states with mail-in voting. Absentee ballots =/= mail-in voting. ALL states have absentee ballots, regardless of whether mail-in voting is

There are no facts to support your principle though, just your imagination. For example, Oregon, where I live, has, in reality, been doing mail in ballots for nearly two decades. In those two decades there have been hardly a hand-full of co

A key point, stated elsewhere in the article, is that “[f]requent hand washing and staying at home and avoiding contacts when sick are probably very useful.” I’m not familiar with all the data, but it seems obvious that having thousands o

One sort of workaround is to subscribe through Apple. Then cancelling is as simple as toggling your subscription to Off. As an added bonus, when you subscribe this way, you do not even have to give the NYT any of your contact info - Apple h

The problem some people have, like myself, is while I (sort of) agree with that sentiment I am confused why I should have to subsidize/support other peoples’ decision to breed. I have no children and have no plans to have children, so

I am in the same boat, but unsoftened - for me, the movies ruined the books, because no matter how hard I try to dispel the bland images of the movies from my mind they overpower the once awesome images I envisioned when reading the LOTR bo

It sounds like the NZ government is requiring businesses to do this, without much guidance as to how businesses do it, so that seems like error #1. Or am I misunderstanding? The article mentions Subway is moving to a secure computer system

Not a downvoter, but you may have missed nearly a century of US history. The first Civil Rights Act (note the capital letters) was enacted in 1866 and there is loads of caselaw prior to the 20th century dealing with Civil Rights. Plessy v.

I second the Fastmail vote. I have been a happy user for... maybe 3 years now? A while at least. The web UI on mobile and desktop is second-to-none (I love not having an app) and the spam filtering is as good or better than gmail and the ot

This has to run so deep though, if it is a cover-up. I am a small-fry attorney working for the Dept. of Justice in a small state, in tiny counties, on cases that are of minuscule magnitude compared to the Epstein case(s)... but if I tried t

I feel like I am far from a conspiracy theorist, but I don’t get how this Epstein fiasco is not the ongoing story of the century. Millionaire pedophile-playboy, who has no clear records of how he obtained his wealth, with ties to worldwide

I don’t think that nomenclature had anything to do with glass failing as a consumer product - the glasses simply did not fulfill any need or desire that would lead to mass consumer adoption at their price point. When the iPad came out Apple

I have been pushing to go 1/2 time or 3/4s time for a while* with a large state agency and the primary reason I was given that I could not is because part-time jobs are more difficult to fill in the future. Which makes sense to me

Huh? Variants of lightning/blitz/fast chess have been around since the late 19th Century. They are very much games of chess. I’m not sure what the quibble is? Is untimed chess, which is uncommon for competitive play, the only rea

That is just absolutely not true. Hence it is an unsupportable claim. At least for the US, the CDC tracks every known case, and it is the unvaccinated that get the measles: https://www.cdc.gov/measles/cases-outbreaks.ht

Not to be glib, but 9 of the 12 countries with higher death rates than the USA, measuring in deaths per million people, have universal-type healthcare. And as far as economic metrics go, it is too soon to tell, but we are all probably equal

I would think when the type of need is uniform across all states (testing, supplies, containment rules, support for workers and businesses, etc...) and the only difference in each state is in the volume of the need, the Federal Government w

I do not believe that is accurate. I would say the Federal Government can have maximum authority, under certain circumstances, if it is competent enough to know when to do so. The Federal Government, specifically the Executive Branch, has t

It is confusing as written - the $400k us for the occasional system flush, not per each flush of each sailor. I get that they wanted the word-play, but it would have been clearer to just write “400k for a periodic system flush”, instead of

Just to clarify, that was a Louis CK bit. I enjoy both of their comedic styles. Louis does it in a stand-up special, but here is a good Conan clip, with a great title: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nUBtKNzoKZ4

Just because citizens can legally return does not mean that doing so is viable or economical - the government has no legal obligation to make sure there are 1) flights to and from the US that 2) are affordable. Those are going to be the big
