I'm not sure if they called it a scrutineer but I used to volunteer at elections (US) and they did the same. The counters would sit at a long table with people watching from both sides. If I remember correctly, everyone had to stay until it was done and there was a sign-in/out sheet.

I understand that there's more people voting for federal elections but it really didn't take that long. Polling closed at 7 and the results/physical ballots were delivered to city hall by 10

Man, even being around horses puts me on edge. I don't get it

I can't say if you're technically correct as far as MLA formatting or whatever but I've been on the internet for 30 years and basically everyone puts the asterisk after the word they're correcting. I don't think I've ever seen it the way you're describing lol

You're right, it would be so much better if they were happy to be there. I would much prefer knowing that all of the soldiers are excited to suppress our constitutional right to protest. WAY better than the chance of one lashing out because they're mad at their boss, right?

I see you stopped reading the article there. It gets worse...

“My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made,” Lewis said. “I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way. . . . I wish I could go back. It’s important for me to admit where I went wrong with this.”

If your Nazi landlord put up a sign in the front yard that says "THIS RENTER GIVES MONEY TO NAZIS," you'd probably want to end your lease, too

(am I assuming correctly that autocorrect changed "I'm wondering" to "in win-win"?)

From what I saw, they don't really know since the basement has been renovated. What I want to know is how they sealed it in a way that could be reversed

I'm sure it was quite impressive! The water just wasn't all that deep like how it was portrayed in the movie and I was very disappointed to learn the truth

I looked into this after seeing Gladiator 2 (garbage movie, by the way) and calling them full scale naval battles is a stretch

The arena at the Colosseum only measured 79.35 × 47.20 meters, far removed from the dimensions of the Augustinian basin. A naumachia in the Colosseum could therefore not have been as grand as the previous ones. One can imagine a confrontation between the crews of several reproductions of warships, potentially life-size or reasonably close to it, but actual maneuvers or even floating seems doubtful. It is known that stage-props were used to represent ships, sometimes with mechanisms to simulate shipwrecks, both on stage and in the arena (Tacitus, Annales, XIV, 6, 1; Dio Cassius LXI, 12,2).

Trigger-happy braindead take

Sounds like fun. Time for me to gain a shitton of weight and rent myself out as a tank

I've been following him for years and I don't really remember him pushing any narrative except the bible verse references at the end, can you be more specific?

It's obvious he's religious but he's a great educator and host so unless it's affecting his videos, I don't care what he does with his free time.

Because they're fabulous?

Upper class have pelatons

Trump will make the government pay it and they'll still have their ICE jobs

It looks like they imported an isometric view into 2D space

He's having a laugh. They're the ones bringing "hateful energy" into the world... And it's not like he's the first one they've angrily hexed

Nice teardown! I liked the gif inclusion
