Yeah there was a whole thing about it at the time, it made news and was credible. The fix for it being of course to double check your ballot before you cast, which could easily be a miss by a first time voter or maybe an elderly one.

My comment was in reference to the fact that Ted Cruz is a moron, and that we came really close to getting him out, but I do think there were some shenanigans with voting. Just the other way.

Every accusation is an admission

Here's an article about it, a quick Google returns a ton of results

didn't realize there were so many Ted Cruz fans on lemmy

We tried voting him out, we really did. Coincidentally, he beat Beto by a very small margin while there was a small percentage of voting machines that reportedly flipped votes for Beto (I think they would flip them to Cruz, and if you didn't double check all your votes before casting them, then a Beto voter could have inadvertently voted Cruz)

Ah yes, the tired, old "perfect being the enemy of good", so let's just let it all go to shit since we can't get it perfect

What? This is completely wrong. HOAs do not maintain your home for you, that's wild that you think that's the reason for HOAs. I live in an HOA and they don't do anything besides make sure everyone's house is presentable (like no missing fence pickets) and upkeep the HOA center + pool.

Exactly, if I enjoy using a service and there's a paid ad-free version, I'm gonna go that route. I support the creators and understand the idea of "no free lunch". All the whiners in this thread are freeloading moochers

This was the experience Android users had initially, then Android started parsing them and adding the reaction to the message. This is also when iMessage started getting that type of message instead of the reaction, as a sort of dig at iMessage

Texan born and raised. I could easily jump ship, but I won't be leaving, I have a duty to my home and the people who are born into it to stay and vote. If everyone who thinks like me just left, then the people who are born into it will still suffer, yet have no hope for recourse.

The point they made enhances yours. Yes it is hypocritical, but is arguably worse on the conservatives' part since sexual orientation is something you're born with.

Seriously. I mean, this isn't brain serjury

Nobody likes being wrong is more apt

The bones of my house are also fundamentally different material to human bones. Not really sure what point I'm trying to make here but there you go

What store has an isle? Like one of those chain surf shops, Alvin's Island? Or did like Wal Mart the company buy a private Virgin Island?

It's literally just describing scrum and agile processes as if they were reporting on a cult/religion and its rituals. The bit at the end about it still being waterfall development with rituals actually got me pretty good lol

If you don't have consent from an animal's owner, do not interact with the animal. That's not something good that you should do. Instead, get consent first.

No I don't think it would throw away the teacher, unless you're an anime character with a power where eye contact teleports people into the closest trash can

The issue I had with using it for code is that the scrolling in the video seemed pretty bad, which is pretty essential for it. Would love an e ink monitor dedicated to code/terminals, so I'll be waiting to grab one when the frame rate's a bit better. Also, in some of the footage of them writing in Word looks like there's a decent amount of burn-in. I'd do it for $2k today if it had better frame rate for scrolling/typing and much less burn-in.

Best view of the stars this side of the Canadian border. Love this park.

Imagine someone infecting a user's implant with a script that makes everything you eat/drink taste like leftover Jägermeister in a cup from a week ago

I respect that and will punch you in the face
