My comparison is that the metric system is like color vision. It's like colors for traffic lights, but USC people insist it's fine memorizing which light is which location. In metric you just see the world in a way USC can't, but USC people insist they're just fine.

The most serious blow came from the Supreme Court in the 2013 decision Shelby County v. Holder, which ruled that states with a long history of voting discrimination no longer needed to approve their election changes with the federal government. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion that “things have changed dramatically” in the South, but since the ruling nearly 100 restrictive voting laws have been passed in at least 29 states, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. As a result of the Shelby decision and a slew of new anti-voting measures passed by Republicans in the wake of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, voters in almost half the country will face new voting restrictions at the polls in 2024.

Also talks about a map which sounds like gerrymandering.

From wiki

Red Ventures is an American media company that owns and operates brands such as Lonely Planet, CNET, ZDNet, The Points Guy, Healthline, and Bankrate.[1] Red Ventures focuses on news, advice, and review websites.[2]

Seems pretty straightforward.

No spine and succumbs to peer pressure. No surprise here.

In a now-deleted Reddit post, one victim described how a “neo-nazi gang” with “their shirts off with swastika and other nazi symbols” held their friends underwater. One victim suffered a concussion, facial swelling, and a bruised retina resulting in partial vision loss, while another received a bruised eye, according to interviews with the victims. At least two sought medical attention after the attack.

The Observer acquired footage of the attack recorded by an eyewitness and verified the Reddit post’s claims with the victims. Video appears to show individuals who were part of the group that included the ABT members or supporters instigating the fight, which lasted approximately two minutes and took place in a part of the San Marcos River that is only a few feet deep. In the footage, apparent perpetrators seem to submerge two of the victims underwater.

Article has lots of pics showing tattoos and affiliations.

You can see the texture of a wall from hundreds of yards away? You have better vision than I do Legolas.

So why has it come into vogue suddenly?

Talks about South and North Korea, China, Japan. No mention of Taiwan.

Like how close do you have to get before you can even see that it's rough? Brutalism can be seen the second you see the building.

"It's not brutalism, it's concrete expressionism!" Or some shit like that.

I can only think they thought it looked good from a distance, which it still doesn't but from making a little model it can seem clean and all that.

Eh that doesn't look so bad.

It does two things: 1) a cache when one door is open, 2) and prevents drafts (from improper sealing around the door) like OP said. Insulation of the door is another component of the second part.

Well businesses use them because there is so much traffic coming and going. Hope you don't have that much at your place.

I could only think that we have better weatherproofing around doors now (and better doors themselves too with better insulation). And the rest of the house is better insulated and air tight too, so less of a need. We used to have screen doors that cut the wind as well, don't see many of those but those could come back. Interesting idea but I can't really see them coming back, especially with many new houses being those small skinny houses.

I initially thought the first panel should be "switches!"

This is clearly only the ones that negatively affect them (the bar).

"Let me in! Let me back in!"

Jeez this guy if he thinks he can play.

So legally it should be fine to decide at the DNC?

U to the sixth power. Damnit not shorter.

Six U's. There.

How is it that states can decide (or whatever the correctt word is) who's on the ballot when the party hasn't even officially nominated a candidate? I know that political parties are separate from election institutions, but it seems very strange. And it seems very early for states to have it set in stone.

Wow.
