>Still, requiring IDs to vote just seems to make prima facie sense. Of course you want to (visibly) make sure that people are voting legally! That's a pretty important part of democracy. I understand that in practice, few cases of voter fraud are detected, and that in practice there are all sorts of mechanisms in place to make sure people aren't taking advantage.
In a vacuum absolutely. But in this country we have a rich history of voter suppression. And requiring IDs is a way to do that in practice (as you mention). So it becomes a matter of balancing what would be the ideal (everyone has an id easily, and we can thus require it for voting) to the reality (requiring it will lead to a magnitude more people wrongly disenfranchised than fraud prevented).
I want an electric kettle that can run off 120 and has a battery for quick boiling. Bonus points if it's a gooseneck for coffee. I've never found one though.
I have been on pixel my last few phones (currently on 6a). While I've done 3p roms on my phones before, I'm not as interested in tinkering with them anymore.
This is the main driver for me in considering a switch to Apple. I almost did the last time I needed to upgrade, but the trade-in offers were good enough that I didn't. It doesn't feel like an upgrade though, I lost the back fingerprint scanner that worked great, but at least I get the security updates for a bit longer.
>Law enforcement officers were acting on a warrant that stated probable cause existed that drugs and drug paraphernalia would be found on Foreman’s property and that trafficking and kidnapping had taken place there, authorities have said. Those suspicions turned out to be unfounded, though, and the raid failed to turn up probative criminal evidence. No charges were ever filed.
>When cash seized during the raid was returned to Foreman, it appeared that hundreds of dollars were missing. A subsequent review by the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation determined that deputies had miscounted the amount seized during the raid itself.
It's disappointing that the AP doesn't even mention any of that, just a mention that some money was miscounted.
In 2016 there was an update by the outgoing administration to raise the floor to $913 a week, but it got rescinded and instead set to the current $684 a week rate.
Gadget wise I've been really delighted with the new Playdate console in a way I haven't been by technology in a long time. It's simple but so much of it is designed with care, and the third party game ecosystem is really taking off. I'm a few weeks into the game release schedule, and they are fun, but I'm spending an inordinate amount of time on some of the third party games.
In November 2011, the toast sandwich was recreated by the Royal Society of Chemistry in a tasting almost 150 years (...) They named it "the country's most economical lunch", offering £200 to whoever could create a cheaper meal. Due to an overabundance of submissions, the offer was closed 7 days later and the £200 given to a randomly selected entrant.
>Just because the Federal Gov of the US does this does not mean that the states have to as well.
States can choose to stay on Standard, or go back and forth, but currently they can't choose to stay on DST. I think WA, OR, and CA have all passed legislation that would move them over once the feds allow it.
