It was about Hanging Chads. Basically it was vote by hole punch and sometimes the paper wasn't punched all the way (Hanging Chad) so the vote wasn't counted correctly by machines.

These can be counted by manual recounts which clearly show the intent.

Supreme Court decided not to count fully perforated punch holes which gave the election to Bush.

Thst title makes it seem like he went to a sex party and an underage person happened to sneak in. At least the article mentions testimony of gaetz paying specifically to have sex with (probably can be considered rape but article doesn't use it so I'm not going to either) the 17 year old.

I use RDP app today to log on to my Pc remotely by using vpn to my home network. It looks like they are adding bloat for services that I have zero interest in. Or maybe they are adding authentication services so the vpn wouldn't be necessary.

Or they can keep the current amount of reps but weigh the reps vote based on number of constituents they represent. If Alice is representing 50k people and Bob is representing 10k people then Alice's vote should be weighted 5x times.

I think it's more so that it's releasing on steam, Deck/GabeN is more a representation of that. In your case you can buy once and install on both. The image also has the added benefit to show its steam deck compatible.

I worked wirh someone that got fired by a secret shopper they didn't card. They got their job back after appeal because the secret shopper that was 30ish looked like she was 50. The secret shopper was let go because they had an abnormally high audit failure due to how old she looked.

Man I just hate it didn't stick the landing. The whole boner bait and switch and the finale of generic magic slinging fight. But the first few episodes had me enthralled.

Look I do not agree with for profit prisons. I'm not defending it. I'm just stating facts. You can try to convince the 6-3 conservative majority supreme court that the 13th amendment needs to reinterpreted, see how far that takes you.

Yes and I'm criticizing the headline for sticking that in when it's irrelevant.

Article says "Except in prison" no idea why lemmy title is different. This is just more of the ol: "this is why this good thing that changes things for the better is bad".

Good luck changing the 13th amendment to get that in prison part removed. Realistically it's not going to happen for a long time. It's stupid to campaign on something you have no feasible way to achieve.

 

I have no idea what it is for but it had battery still left in it and a micro USB slot. Wife has not clue what it is either. Not sure if a random guest left it or my toddler picked it up.

So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.
