They do here in pennsylvania, even with an electronic touchscreen. The ballot is printed and you check that it recorded your stuff correctly and then immediately put into a lockbox for tabulation later.

This seems like a fair compromise as long as the actual ballot is on paper and human readable?

Take flock out of some cities and see if their crime trend continues. I expect you'll find the cameras really don't move the needle much.

Transplant means anyone who moves into your city, in my experience. It has a kind of NIMBY ish or anti gentrification tone, like "NJ transplants don't understand like real new yorkers" but I don't think it refers to immigration specifically.

Only some states allow simple plug in roof top or balcony solar I believe. So depending on your area you might be required to do a grid hookup and lose access to it during outages.

Tokyo manages a very tight schedule and they're enormous, so it can't only be scale that matters. And how do you fund effective transit in a smaller city with less of a tax base?

The margin is a little close, so is the Senate expected to be deadlocked? Or is there a coalition that can form between moderates and the left?

This is probably a good support case for run-off elections being beneficial.

Think of those Samsung moons? That was really just creating new information on demand for a while. I think it looks pretty tacky too.

I think their question is whether it's replaced work in industries focused on that - AI movies becoming popular and very profitable, AI written books selling large numbers etc

Very possibly on the way but so less uptake than software engineering for sure.

iTunes is more trustworthy for this, but keep in mind not every service where you can buy things will be. Sony did just revoke movies this year and I wouldn't really rely on Google or Amazon for it at least

The meds are intended to allow you to work without needing to be in crisis mode and the anxiety of it. That's standard for the condition, but it's not a very healthy strategy long term and you'll find yourself unable to do normal tasks without the crisis mode the longer you use it as a crutch.

For instance, do you struggle to keep your home clean until someone is visiting and the anxiety of them seeing compels you to focus on it?

How would we know which way that runs? Lower income could expose you to stressors that make ADHD worse, maybe especially in childhood. But ADHD could also easily make it harder to earn money or hold a stable career down too.

It would be good to use funds that way but it's not gonna get the protected species back. We need some teeth to actually stop these things from happening

Isn't obsidian doing the new fallout? I think Bethesda might get the axe before them if anyone does. Or they'll get merged together and shook down for spare devs
