People say this every time national id comes up, but I've never seen any evidence for it, and it doesn't sound particularly plausible. The US manages to pass all sorts of legislation that angers fundamentalists. Why is this one in

Dowless appears to have gotten away with a similar scheme in 2014. Moreover, I'm from a state that regularly sees serious voting abnormalities[1]. Everyone knows the elections are rigged and nothing is ever done about it. So no, I don&

If we're still talking about California, it was legal to drop off a family member's ballot prior to AB 1921. Is there a state that allows vote-by-mail and doesn't allow family members to drop off ballots?

Did you read the linked article? It discusses NC's 2018 9th district election, which was thrown out entirely due to ballot harvesting and tampering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_North_Carolina%27s_9th_co...

Price gouging laws won't generally prevent them from continuing to sell at the price they've been selling at. It's fancy artisanal flour with a story, so they charge twice that for a bag. [1] [1]: https://sturmins

I just paid my credit card bill at 50k down/20k up. It's fine. Took about half an hour, but I'm browsing HN (also throttled) in this tab so it's not too inconvenient. You could also read a book or cook or something.

Maybe I'm out of touch, but how relevant is ESRB these days? I know Steam has parental controls, but do many parents actually use those? Nothing stops kids from just opening a second steam account and buying gift cards in cash, right?

As I said, I understand the utility of services like certified mail. That seems like the appropriate level of care for most of the mailings you mention. You wouldn't want absentee ballots or passports to be lost, right? Or if my county

It's weird to me to hear comments like this. To me the postal service just seems like a slow email service with no spam filtering. (Sure they can delivery packages, but they're not unique in that regard). I get the utility of cert
