If you want to vote by mail please do so as soon as you can and consider dropping it off at the counter where they will postmark it right away.
Even then you have to request it. The term you need to ask for is “hand canceling”. The USPS worker will take a handheld ink stamp and mark over the postage stamp with the received date. That letter is now “processed” as received by the post office.
I think we’ll have to agree to disagree. Often times if I see an interesting question in the comments, I am glad for it, because that was the insight I needed to want to read the article and answer it.
Just reading comments without the article? I have no issue with that at all, and do that myself.
For me that isn’t annoying unless the commenter is getting something wrong that is talked about in the article, and doubles down on it.
How do you, as the commenter yourself, know you aren’t getting something wrong without reading the article?
I feel like each post is an invitation to discuss the general topic
How do you know what the general topic is without reading the article?
If you feel like that is disrespectful, I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think it is that disrespectful.
Maybe disrespectful is too strong a term. Let me amend that; I lose respect for the poster when they’re asking a question that is answered in the article. I sometimes write off engaging with them further in that thread because they’re clearly not even doing the most basic of tasks to be a part of the conversation.
But plenty of interesting conversations can happen in the comments (like this one) that have almost nothing whatever to do with the article!
I’ll do this too on occasionally, if I can clearly tell we’re not discussion the article topic, but its a gamble on my part and if someone smacks me down because it is article topical, I fully own that and apologize knowing its my fault.
I get where you’re going here and I do the same as far as reading, but before I post I make it a point to actually read the article. Otherwise I may be forming and asking questions clearly already addressed or are completely divorced from the actual topic because I lack the articles context.
I feel it is part of the mutual respect with other posters to not waste their time asking questions already answered (in the article) or derailing the conversation because I don’t know what conversation I’m in.
Nowadays, iOS sees just as many vulnerabilities as every other popular OS.
I’m no Apple fanboy but Apple security is more than the OS. Since they also produce all of the hardware, it means they can do things at the hardware level and either make available or restrict things to the OS that Windows cannot do because Microsoft doesn’t control all the hardware makers.
I’m posting this in Asahi Linux on an M2 powered Macbook. Its been an interesting experience learning not only the benefits of this as a hardware platform, but also its limitations from the FOSS point of view.
We have 4lbs of honey baked ham to go through. I’m eating a lot of ham.
I doubt I ran into that, and I think a lot of it is just moderators removing things
Have you confirmed moderator deletions from the modlog or is it just a sense you have?
The Fragmentation Trap If you try to do everything yourself (the “solopreneur” route), you theoretically need a “tech stack” of 4-5 different subscriptions.
I’m not sure you appreciate how amazing it is today that a single “solopreneur” can actually perform all those roles all by themselves with software and skills of their own. Each one of those used to be an entire profession that required years of school and tens of thousands of dollars of tools and materials.
That said, there are good free open source tools that do most of those big things you cited. Examples include
Would love to hear your thoughts on navigating this expensive landscape.
Starting any business requires money and time. You can “buy” shortcuts in time by spending money on more expensive tools. Alternatively if you have more time, you can do things more manually.
While those are cool, none of them help an average person, except maybe the trains, and definitely not in the US lol.
mRNA vaccines largely ended the most widespread global pandemic in human history just 5 years ago.
Cars were perfect in 05
Climate change would disagree.
Electric cars existed before gasoline cars… And you know what still doesn’t exist? A repairable, mostly analog electric car thats affordable. Doesn’t exist.
What’s stopping you from buying a used 2012 Nissan Leaf for about $6k? Or how about a 2014 BMW i3 for about the same price? Neither of those are Cell network connected or touchscreen heavy cars.
After you finish the last of the 3 novels, make sure you seek out the additional short stories. They fill in some nice gaps in the before, during, and after.
For rich people, it’s not about using it or making a practical purchase. Its a way to show others how much you care about them (none).
I was thinking about this topic just a few days ago. I have another theory. Yes, yacht ownership is a method of communication, but they’re not trying to communicate with the common people, but instead indicating to each other of their level of wealth so they can find equal peers or greater peers to associate with, or greater to avoid.
A rich person with $10M net worth has almost nothing in common with a rich person with a $1B net worth.
Considering OP has a Taiwanese flag in his username as well as a Japansese anime character name (with the kanji as well as the romaji, and a Chinese name (the hanzi as well as the pinyin), I’m guessing OP is at least moderately aware of non-Western cultures practices on the topic and I don’t immediately suspect OP is judging people for their answers either way.
At 40 your dad is probably relying on you for many basic life needs. You’re no longer living with your dad. He’s living with you.
I like a California roll, and I like that its all veg and grain, so I’ll choose it when thats what I’m looking for, but there are many other rolls I like more. The avocado isn’t a selling point except that its not meat or dairy and there are times I’d don’t want to eat either of those.
Guac is still “meh” for me. Again, I’ll eat it if its there, but I don’t seek it out.

On the downside, Energy Dome’s facility takes up about twice as much land as a comparable capacity lithium-ion battery would. And the domes themselves, which are about the height of a sports stadium at their apex, and longer, might stand out on a landscape and draw some NIMBY pushback.
This is surprisingly good! I would have figured it would have taken far more than twice the land than a Lithium battery solution.
yeah, sure thing buddy. the CO2 will be in a closed loop until it won’t. just like Fukushima and Chernobyl were supposed to be closed loop systems, until they weren’t. disasters happen, no matter how much the techbro mindset insists that they’re impossible.
So you concern is the ecological impact should this bubble fail and the entirety of the CO2 is released to the atmosphere as pollution? Did you even read the article? They discuss that.
First, a full on failure would be rare. Then, a full on failure of 100% loss of the closed loop CO2 is equivalent to 15 round trip flights of a jet flying from New York to London. To put it in perspective there about 250+ flights of this length per day from London, with many being much much farther.
So you’re comparing the impacts of a once in a lifetime nuclear power plant failure to the impacts of another source 1/16th of something that already happens every in one airport. Your logic is why out of whack on this if this is your concern with the bubble.
I was thinking about much larger scale bubbles in “unwanted” geological depressions such as old open pit mines or rock quarries. The depression in the ground might offer more protection allowing it to scale up higher in volume.
Your internet traffic is already encrypted in transit, that what the “s” in https means.
You don’t get the “s” until you have the “https”. Your DNS request which turns www.TheWebsiteYouDoNotWantKnown.com into its IP address happens before you have the “s” in “https”. By default, that request is sent in plaintext, and frequently by default, to your internet service provider. So an outside monitor may not be able to see the contents of the website once you establish your https connection, they likely know that you went there and have a good idea how long you stayed on it.
While its also possible to encrypt the DNS request with DoH or DoT, its not on by default and requires the user to take configuration actions in their browser. If they’re looking at VPNs for the first time, they likely don’t know this and are sending their DNS requests in the clear.
Avocado is fine, but its not something I seek out to eat. If its included in a dish or in a meal, I’ll eat it, but I don’t find it especially enjoyable. I’m even a big fan of most fruit and veg, but avocado its kind of forgettable if you ask me. I do like cooking with avocado oil though for its high temp usage and health benefits, but I don’t really find the flavor of the fruit in the oil.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate it.
You too!
