The 5 blade razor is probably the first example I can think of when The Onion broke reality and predicted the future.

57.2% of voters chose to not control women.

When WordPerfect was great. Reveal Codes was incredible. That and a HP Laserjet 5P was a solid combo.

Steve Rogers: Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?

Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.

Tony was being snarky, but he’s not wrong about the suit being just an extension. Yes, it’s important to his abilities, otherwise he wouldn’t have needed it from the beginning in the cave. But it’s also not a crutch, as Ironman 3 showed and taught him, and he’s trying to show Peter that it begins with the person.

Also keep in mind what he said to Peter in this same scene - when Peter said he just wanted to be like Tony, Tony comes back and says yeah, and I wanted you to be better. Tony knows that Peter truly doesn’t need the suit because he is that powerful, it’s just once again an extension that enhances those abilities, and if Peter thought it was the suit that made him special he wouldn’t grow.

Everything is through OneDrive. Even stuff that doesn’t need to be. Desktop shortcuts…really?

Also - I hate Teams, refuse to use it. The one time I did use it for some irrelevant confirmation message, it stuck and now not only does it load every time I log on (to get closed immediately), it also has the history of that one message. That I’ve tried to delete, and it keeps coming back.

This was in literal Georgia, USA. I don’t see how claiming race relations are different around the world means much when this is where racism is very present, and in the case of voter intimidation with certain things at a voting poll area in an illegal manner, it’s totally relevant.

I mean sure, it could be a totally innocent stupid decision given by some official. It sure hit all the trigger warnings for being something more than a mistake.

I just thought your combo of those two words was interesting, to say the least.

That is a new one.

Even not dressed up in some Halloween stuff, I wouldn’t be fond of the idea of people, county employee or not, taking pictures and video in a voting area. There is one reason to be there, and that’s it. Someone higher up needs to answer for this if such a “ghost trend” video taking was ordered, and what the hell is that anyway?

And no one was surprised.

Not yet. Something happened to Mars early in its history that changed its environment but we still don’t have evidence that life had begun there to get wiped out. The biggest reason for me to think it didn’t happen is the history of the Sun and how that affects the habitable zone. As the Sun ages it gets brighter, and the zone that life would be more probable in moves outward. In most calculations of the habitable zone for the Solar system Mars is still outside of its edge, and so definitely didn’t have the best conditions earlier with a younger Sun’s output.

The hero we didn’t get soon enough.

Guess we need to move the line again, guys. He keeps crossing it.

I’d say Hitler, but sure.

We should send defense equipment and forces to both sides.

I see the problem, but I doubt many would. No easy fix, but you could go two directions. Replace the one wrong shape and rearrange them, or just replace one of the open circles with a solid and rearrange them to represent an eclipse (with solid on the outside, hollow in the middle.

I get how an astronomy fan would get annoyed. I’ve gotten gifts before that have had a slight inaccuracy to it, so small I didn’t even catch it the first time I saw it. And now I can’t unsee it. I still appreciated them though. And yes, I had in a few instances considered if I could fix the issue, but sometimes it’s better to just accept it as is. Nothing is perfect, after all.

Vote first of course. Repeatedly remind my various reps that RCV is important for the future and to support current bills or get new ones started. Election reform during off years is probably more important since that’s when no one is thinking about it and yet it’s when changing it will affect the next term.

Wish me luck, my state is NC. Just getting enough democrat reps is difficult enough.

I didn’t clarify. I was talking about Jill Stein. She has a lot of promises on her website.

I think that’s a Congressional thing, not a President one. But I’m sure she’s promising it. Correct me if it’s something that a President can declare as an executive order, but that wasn’t my impression.

Btw, I think the way to get RCV federally is to make it statewide, and that’s started already, plus there’s a bill in Congress for the second time.

Protesting, public pressure in other ways, pressure through other representatives in Congress. Also the same to try and get the voting system changed so minority parties can have more effect, bending the major ones to have to talk about issues that for now are easy to avoid (the both sides, even if that’s not entirely true). Another factor is lobbying, that needs to be restricted so large entities like corporations can’t basically buy loyalty.

I would point out that any vote, even for Stein, is unconditional, so there’s no way to avoid that. To make politicians keep their policy the public has to be engaged past the election.

Even if all of that is debatable, my main point is that a vote for Stein won’t get any change. One of the two choices that can win the election has some chance, even if small. Whether that be from citizen pressure or them getting the power of office and doing things themselves.

Voting for Stein in a FPTP voting system doesn’t solve the problem that’s been turned into a one issue campaign slogan. Even if she was the perfect candidate. The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election, and out of those two choices, suddenly who to vote for is obvious. If it wasn’t already.
