It was illegal until up to a few weeks ago.

Or just use a razor and actually cut your ear. I'd say someone took their shot and missed. He happened to turn his head at the last moment, or the shot would have made a solid hit.

Partner bought us a popcorn popper. Put the popcorn in the device, place a bowl in front, plug it in, and your popcorn pops. No oil, no pan, no mess, and it was like 10 bucks. It's basically a glorified hairdryer. This is the correct way to do popcorn.

That was my thought too.

Born here, stuck here.

Anyway, how well do you think American political awareness compares to political awareness of other countries? I honestly haven't looked yet.

Your raspi needs a fan? I have mine just dangling from a USB-C cord wrapped around my router's antenna.

Passed that one. It was a little harder than the practice test, but I think it's about a middle-school level difficulty.

Interesting article. I would agree that most Americans are politically unaware per that article, because most Americans aren't economists or historians. It was definitely an interesting read, but what I really noticed is that the article failed to compare American political unawareness to a global baseline, or at least provide some comparable country's numbers, like England, France, Russia, China, Australia, Mexico and Canada?

Makes me wonder if I could pass the US citizenship test...

Edit: 95% on a practice test...

Can you explain what you mean by "politically unaware"?

Have you ever seen someone drive 2 ways down a one way street? They're always only going one way.

Oh, I named just one. Each one of those is just one thing.

Openly bragged about assaulting women? Mocked a person at a rally for physical disabilities? Disparaged a gold star family? Bankrupted a casino? Advocated (by taking out pages in newspapers) for the incarceration of 5 black teenagers without due process? General racist remarks and behaviors? Credible sexual assault allegations from many women, including at least one of his wives? Cheated on his 3rd wife with a pornstar while she was pregnant?

Thats all before he was President, and off the top of my head, without any references or searching.

Would you like the list of shit he did while/after being President?
