I used this system more than I care to admit and never had significant problems with it. My biggest issue was when trying to modify an existing item on the ticket.

While I see your point, it hinges on voting for Hunter Biden in lieu of Trump. I can’t say I would – I know little of Hunter Biden’s policy stances --, but I find it very far fetched to believe Hunter would get the nomination over another democratic politician, so it seems like the argument is pointless.

I bought a 25 foot leash when training my dog. I’ll never catch him if he doesn’t want me to, but I can get within 25 feet of him.

That’s a nice boulder.

In the Midwest, we sometimes measure distance in number of songs.

Unfortunately, a corn stalk can only get you so far.

Great tip! That one says it’s unsupported on my platform, but I’ll try to find another. It will certainly be a QoL update.

I ditched Chrome for Firefox about a year ago. On desktop, it’s been a seamless transition, although I occasionally still open Chrome to inspect webpages that I’m working on. On mobile however, I find myself missing many features that the Chrome mobile browser had, especially sharing images directly to other apps and viewing sports scores/schedules directly in the Google search results.

Even beyond that, I think this sentiment is easy to get into from the comfort of climate controlled, weatherproof structures, with abundant food that doesn’t require months of forethought and planning to farm or energy expenditure to hunt or gather. I’d love to chuck up materialism and peer pressure, but I’m firmly attached to the various infrastructures that make my life so comfortable.

When I was on the fence about teaching English any longer, a friend of mine encouraged me to try software development because “[I] know languages, and [I] like to build things.” I still feel a lot more comfortable with a saw and clamps, but I think he’s right.

This song rules.

My colleague gave me one of hers this week. She told me they were the good stuff. They were so strong I wasn’t sure which was worse: the cough drop or the sore throat. Checked them out at the store today and they have 20mg menthol! The ones we call “the good stuff” only have 7.5mg.

We are much more basic. Always have a box of Lipton chicken noodle on hand for when a bug hits.

Hold the extra noodles, but that’s the real MVP. Sustained me for a week when I got COVID two years ago.

When you wake up early after a snowstorm and nobody has gone out yet it looks so beautiful. The snow also dampens sounds, and it makes the sound of people shoveling their walks a little magical. Then six hours later it’s just dirty, and annoying.

I was accused of plagiarism in a college history class. Out of the four page paper, a single sentence came back as a high match to an article I had never read. The sentence was really generic too; something like “Skywalker light and sound became a leader in the industry.” I plead my case to the professor, and he believed me, but he still knocked me a letter grade.

I interpreted it more as Okie State fans showing what’s going to happen to Texas.

Not truly classical, but Copland is my go to. For a single work, I could listen to Dvork’s 9th forever.
