Most of my thinking is not in language, though I do sometimes talk to myself in my head. If someone asks me what I'm thinking or feeling, it sometimes takes great effort to translate it into words; and when I do attempt to express it I often feel the words are pretty inadequate. Like encoding a high-res image into a few pixels, or music into a few notes. Super interesting topic indeed.

Not OP but I use one called LectroFan. They also have a small travel-sized one that doubles as a bluetooth speaker. It has revolutionized my ability to sleep while traveling.

It's true. I can see the risk here, since I could easily pressure my wife into voting a certain way or even fill out her ballot and forge her signature (if I ignored the warnings that it's a felony to do so). I think we have to weigh that risk against the benefits of greater participation/accessibility that vote by mail provides.

In Washington, Oregon, and Colorado, voting is entirely by mail.

One of the differences is that a basic income eliminates the "welfare cliff". With any kind of means-tested system, there's a reduced incentive to increase your earnings because every dollar you earn reduces your benefit. With a universal basic income, there's no disincentive to work extra because you receive the benefit no matter your income, and earning an extra $5k is $5k more in your pocket rather than being offset by your benefit going down.

He's using jQuery on a separate landing page which is not part of his Angular app.

I do wish jQuery would update to support ES2015 module exports so I could do something like import { ajax } from 'jquery';

I'm a developer and everywhere I've worked (small companies) I use my personal machine for work.
