So how would this system prevent people from voting multiple times or voting as someone they’re not? Could you elaborate on what you meant when you said “alternative ways”? I’m imagining something like fingerprints or retina scans, both of which take more time and money than a simple ID.

Also I’m not too familiar with the DMV, but isn’t that for driver’s licenses only? Surely that’s not the only way to get an ID in the US?

I guess my point is rather than allowing voting without ID, there should be better systems in place to provide everyone with an ID.

Why are democrats not as supportive of ID laws? I would assume it’s obvious you need an ID to vote, or am I missing something here?

Also I’m amazed by how people don’t seem to understand what half-life is. It’s not the time it takes for an atom to decay. It’s the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay, meaning there will be some U-238 that decay into Ra-226 in just a couple of seconds.

So even if the Earth was created 4000 years ago with uranium but not lead (for some weird reason), some of that lead would have decayed into lead by now.

She holds the title International Master, so I guess OP thought that’s the same as World Champion? But she’s currently ranked 6365th of active players.

“You’d better tell the Captain we’ve got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.”

“A hospital? What is it?”

“It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.”

I was actually surprised when I was in the UK last year and people were standing on the right in the escalators. But they walked on the left in crowded places. I was expecting all pedestrian traffic to be left-sided, but it was more mixed, like their measurement systems…

In case someone else also wants to know more about this lottery:

The issue with these statistics is that they look at the average, which is heavily boosted by the exceptionally expensive weddings of the higher upper-class. The median is significantly lower.

Also I’m not American, maybe people there just spend a lot more on weddings in general than what I’m used to.

I have no clue how you define “middle-class” but not even the fanciest weddings I’ve been to have spent even close to $250 per person. That kind of expenditure sounds quite a lot more like upper-class to me. Assuming you invite 100 people to the wedding, an average Joe will not have 25k to spend on one party.

I also feel the need to remind people that while most combatants are male, not even close to all males are combatants. If only women and children (probably almost all civilian) made up 60% of all deaths, then the remaining 40% includes all male civilian deaths, which very well could be higher than combatant deaths.

Yup, if someone works “harder” they’re either being exploited or they live in a less advanced society where technology doesn’t help the working class as much.

I would understand these news as Colorado will try to avoid starting new highway projects, not that they would cancel currently ongoing ones.

“Northern Europe” but Belgium/France/Germany. Welp, I guess the Nordics don’t exist.

To be fair though, there are also about to be some severe floods in Lapland quite soon, albeit for a completely different reason: exceptionally warm spring weather melts the snow faster than usual causing rivers to flood.

I think they had quite a valid question. First of all, it’s not obvious how this affects Ukraine, if in any way at all. Second, not everyone can know about Iran’s involvement in the war (people are born, grown up, and informed every day).

Also in all other languages where I know how to say the date it’s some form of 5th (day of) June. While it is possible to have it the other way around it’s really only found in old writings (June’s 5th day).

Don’t forget the Netherlands ban

What the fuck is going on with their asses? Now I really feel we’re missing out on something great…
