I did after the update. Their comment doesn’t account for people who are old enough to vote/and counted in the census but still are not eligible voters. 78.76 percent of eligible voters voted. The total number of people who voted is 10,999,265 out of a total number of eligible voters 13,949,168.

This is important context that was missing from both the original comment and the edited comment.

57 percent of the people who voted voted for abortion rights. That’s 6,269,581 voters. Since the bar for a measure to pass in Florida is 60 percent, we know that if the other 2,949,903 people had voted at all and they’d voted in favor that would have passed the abortion rights initiatives on the ballot. In fact the abortion rights initiative only needed 109,927 more votes in order to pass. It was extremely close to passing.

22million people who are eligible to vote? I want to know if that’s everyone who lives in Florida (man women, children, citizens, non-citizens etc), or just eligible voters.

The problem is enforcement rather than legality.

If I had to guess it’s to protect their identity so that they can vote without being harassed. But I will fully admit I only looked at the picture and didn’t click the link or anything.

Are you really so preoccupied with the abilities of your flesh and bone prison that you felt the need the share this with us?

Disney waved their right to arbitration after backlash. Uber might just do the same, or get sued by the government for the EULA itself.

The more you scroll, the more ads they can serve on one page. So if you scroll to the bottom, don’t see the results you want, you’re likely to try to reword what you were searching for which will bring up new results and more ads. When you think about the fact that 4-5 of the first results are ads generally (if not more) and you have to scroll past those to get a result that isn’t an ad, you recognize that they are maximizing time spent looking at ads because that’s what they are selling to their real customers (the ad services for whom they aggregate).

This scenario makes it more likely that you will click on a sponsored result, backtrack, scroll some more, not see what you’re looking for, re-word your search query, click on maybe another sponsored result, backtrack etc.

Part of the problem is that Google now defaults to “All” (web, shopping, news, video, etc) instead of defaulting to Web only and allowing you to select if you want video, or shopping or news etc. That’s a lot of what I see complained about most.

This is first and foremost because Google is an ad aggregation company and they literally want to keep you on the page longer to serve you more ads.

The second problem is that the SEO for Google is so abused at this point that it’s laughable. Search engine optimisation was useful until companies and people started trying to hack it in order to have their results show up before competitors. Because large competitors also have money, it’s no longer enough to just pay to play.

Oh, this wasn’t me saying they don’t suck and aren’t actively getting worse. I just default to trying to be helpful.

I agree with you. Search in general is actively getting worse and worse.

I have found that for certain things like this, if you can find a part number it’s better to use that to get more refined results. It definitely won’t help for everything (clothing, groceries, etc). But it does help for tech things especially.

It is until you end up having to blacklist zelle because your banking information was used to defraud someone. I actually had my account broken into, funds deposited from zelle and then all available funds removed from my account in the space of about an hour. Went to pay for something the day after and had to call my bank’s fraud department. They tried the same thing with a second account of mine but it was flagged immediately when they tried to use the same login credentials (they weren’t remotely the same). So no zelle for me. It’s permanently disabled by both my banks for security reasons.

They were my go to for a long time for good charging cables and dongles. Don’t know what happened with them. I do know they got delisted from online shops.

I’ll still shop there if I can use trade in credit for old tech. But I literally only spend the store credit I get back from old tech. Its usually something that’s several years old and worth like $40-50, and I spend it on something I was planning to buy anyway. I’ve tried reselling that kind of thing on eBay. It doesn’t move because nobody wants a windows 7 computer or an old pair of earbuds from 7 years ago.

That’s illegal. They were trying to force you to abandon your job as retaliation. And even if they have no paperwork to the effect a good lawyer would be able to prove it was retaliation. But of course they don’t pay enough for their employees to actually retain a lawyer. Shame, cause the payouts can be really good.

It’s illegal to charge for water in the US.

My asvab score was a 92. Had a migraine that morning. Can we not do this? This is just silly.

I recommend some clips. The kind used to hang laundry. I believe that trashcan comes with a swiveling lid not pictured here and if the bag is installed properly the lid will hold it in place. But if you don’t have the lid (they’re not made of a particularly durable material or to a durable design spec), the clips do work.

92, Can we not do this?

We clearly need to bring back the big red rubber stamp. Just stamp it “SCAM” and leave it somewhere like a bulletin board. Because if they want to waste their money and paper, we should make it expensive for them. The stamp isn’t expensive really and ink pads are fairly cheap and last a long time.
