It's called entropy.

Good and Cheap are often mutually exclusive qualities. Try Rich Ravizza.

A good editor often recommends pitching at least half of your cherished work product in the bin and to give serious reconsideration to what remains.

Brent is correct, I'm surprised to find myself typing, about D's registering R to dilute the Trump vote. Because I'm a scheming asshole (thanks Mom!) I support the idea. Change Voter Registration The Change Voter Registration process allows you to change an existing voter’s registration information. § You may change any information except the Voter ID. § If you change the voter’s Last Name, First Name, Party, or Residence Address and the reason selected is “Voter Requested,” the system changes the Voter Status to “Pending” and the voter is added to the list of Pending Voters found on the System Reminder screen. § If a voter is “Contested,” their registration is flagged, and you may send a 30 Day Letter to the voter to notify them. If you do, the 30 day letter check box will be checked. The letter is generated through the Inquiry - 30 Day Letter process (see Chapter 16, Inquiries). § If a change is made to the voter’s party, there is no waiting period. § If you change a voter’s party after an election lock down date, the system displays an alert to inform you, but allows you to continue if you chose to do so. § You cannot update registration information if a change of the same type (for example, address change, name change) has been made with a later effective date (Date Modified). Instead, this earlier change would have to be made to the voter’s history. § You may print a registration card with the latest voter information each time a change is made. § You cannot change a record that has been merged in with another voter record. The system will display an alert and will not allow the change. Conduct a Search for the Voter

No waiting period to change party registration in NH, I think.

For a well read super smart guy you sure can blast out the occasional boner. Rape is not the province of would be Lothario's, it is an act of power exertion. Check into it.

A neighbor had one of those on his wife's car. It's silly, sure. But sillier is what it reminds us: people too often tune their identity to what should be a transport machine. People are constantly giving up wealth and resources, their kids college funds, and staying in debt to drive a car they think impresses their friends and neighbors when maybe a million other people drive the same stupid car. A freakin' car.

Everyone can relax. I just got off the phone with my Feng Shui guy and was assured that the negative energy flow around Trump makes his election impossible. We are good.

You missed the point entirely. It was offered as a thought exercise. Some here will claim you didn’t disappoint. No matter, do you have any examples where a technology was perfected in advance of being introduced?

Apparently you wouldn’t. For others thinking through how a competitor will solve a problem is a way of being successful. In this situation wouldn’t faster charging, lighter, longer range and cheaper batteries solve a lot of the problems? Can you imagine that as a possibility?

As is your preferred candidate, Nikki Haley: "First of all, I haven’t paid attention to his cases, and I’m not a lawyer,” Haley offered. “All I know is that he’s innocent until proven guilty, and when he’s proven guilty, and he’s sitting in a courtroom—that’s exactly what I’m talking about. You’ve got investigations on Trump and Biden.” Peas in a pod, it seems.

Okay, if you were a proponent of EV adoption and in a power position in the industry or elsewhere what would you do to improve adoption?

You sometimes give that impression, yes.

Sorry to break the bad news but we still live in a murderous era where a positive state of mind and a nice Hallmark greeting card is often insufficient for the task. Whereas it's often a coin toss whether or not bombing assholes in their homes is a good start for a conversation it should be easily agreed that, in our modern world where innocents 10,000 miles distant might be starved as a consequence, attacking shipping in international waters should be a fine occasion to use up a few hundred old JDAM's.

Is there a Houthi population in Winnipeg?

Anyones guess, I guess.

Nah, it's simpler: his internet connection is missing a few ones and zero's.

Indeed. https://thehill.com/elections/4408071-almost-half-of-haley-supporters-say-they-would-vote-for-biden-over-trump-iowa-poll/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email iowa-poll-trump-vote.pdf

Maybe half of Haley supporters in Iowa said if Trump is nominated they'll vote for Biden. Will you?

So what is the point? If Biden were able to perfect the legality would you be offended? Most of the world, and you are not helping, does not live in a political environment anything close to being called a democracy. The autocrats in those nations make the laws and decide what is legal. The general issue when dealing with people is making a distinction between what is legally right and what is morally right. The personal issue is making a choice between the two that supports our individual world views. I personally do not think you are a troll in spite of the fact that you intentionally jerk more chains than a railroad work crew of prisoners. But I do think you have a big blind spot.

Got me, let's say yes. So Biden's "just say I'm here" policy that makes entrants legal eventually is good by you now? Okee, dokey.

Here's some from President Ahhh... Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. A birthright American born in South Carolina of immigrant Sikh parents from Punjab, India. She'll be tough on immigrants, for sure. And trust me, you could use a lot more history. Here's some, from a speech U.S Grant gave in Iowa on September 29, 1875: "I do not bring into this assemblage politics, certainly not partisan politics, but it is a fair subject for soldiers in their deliberations to consider what may be necessary to secure the prize for which they battled in a republic like our"s. Where the citizen is sovereign and the official the servant, where no power is exercised except by the will of the people, it is important that the sovereign — the people — should possess intelligence. The free school is the promoter of that intelligence which is to preserve us as a free nation. If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other. Now in this centennial year of our national existence, I believe it a good time to begin the work of strengthening the foundation of the house commenced by our patriotic forefathers one hundred years ago, at Concord and Lexington. Let us all labor to add all needful guarantees for the more perfect security of free thought, free speech, and free press, pure morals, unfettered religious sentiments, and of equal rights and privileges to all men, irrespective of nationality, color, or religion. Encourage free schools, and resolve that not one dollar of money appropriated to their support, no matter how raised, shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian school. Resolve that the State or Nation, or both combined, shall furnish to every child growing up in the land, the means of acquiring a good common-school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or atheistic tenets. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate. With these safeguards, I believe the battles which created the Army of the Tennessee will not have been fought in vain."

Are you now running for office as a Republican? Can I buy one of your virtual token friends?

What it’s called is partisan politics which, sadly for many, is subordinate to patriotism.

Don’t forget to add on finding the missing sock and not burning the pop tarts. It’s America, we can do it all and at the same instant.
