The problem was that hand counting votes in a county of our size is not legal, and I'm pretty sure we ended up switching to different machines anyway, so it seems to have just cost money and turmoil for no benefit to us.

In published media it's getting really frustrating to find articles that seem like honest reviews. The NYT did an article on toaster recommendations and they praised one for having something like a 3 year warranty because "toasters aren't known for their longevity."

This jerk convinced my county to get rid of our voting machines. A county that's always been about 65% red 35% blue.

Yeah I'm totally sure Biden stole the election by having a county in California vote the way they had been voting for decades.

Where I live is basically the polar opposite climate wise and I dream of moving to somewhere frozen over half the year.

Yeah for me they're usually sold as "each", so the bundle is just proportionally more.

One could be a annoying and insist that until John Quincy Adams no president had any non-foreign-born parents.

But more seriously, both of Andrew Jackson's parents were born in Northern Ireland.

Edit: and Van Buren's parents were Dutch.

Each level looks like something I'd expect an undergrad to have at least seen before to be honest.

As to not having neopronouns "back in my day", a lot of neopronouns are surprisingly old. Ze is from the 1860s, hir from the 1920s. Even relatively new ones like xe have been around since the early 70s.

And they may be pointless for you, but they're valuable to some people so why be rude about it?

Swamp water? Like my pool? A pool completely overrun with green algae.
