1·3 days agoAnything less than a 250M pound fine distributed to all teams in the PL weighted by how long they spent in the league during the offending period and a 40 point deduction is a joke.
1·3 days agoYou’re not getting my point. I’m not saying someone can win with just a handful of voters from swing states, I’m saying that someone can stop another candidate from winning by courting those voters. Hence, a spoiler.
Exactly. In a fair and independent contest, the concept of a “spoiler” wouldn’t really exist. But given that the Presidency basically gets decided by a few million voters who live in swing states’ contested districts, it turns out it’s really easy for a niche candidate to derail the more likely ones just by trying to appeal specifically to them.
Nothing you can do about people like that shitting on your doorstep and running away other than to hose it down and hang up a sign that says “Please do not shit on porch”. We live in a post-truth society.
Gerrymandering. Next question.
The Board of Governors can remove the Postmaster General with a vote.
USC Title 39, Section 202: “© The Governors shall appoint and shall have the power to remove the Postmaster General, who shall be a voting member of the Board. His pay and term of service shall be fixed by the Governors.”

If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry :)
To be fair, it’s been ignored for so long it might as well be a secret weapon.
Agreed on the first part, but I’m not sure I agree on the second - the FOP is the best union in the country in terms of protecting its members.
Interesting. Well, I’m glad you don’t have anti-vaxxers, because they are alive and well here, even in a pretty progressive city like mine.
The elderly have almost certainly gotten every booster available to them, understandably, and I’m not so sure about the young. A confounding factor is that most of my friends work at least somewhat remotely, and so only the people who have to see other people in person are masked up.
I have heard the same about the new strains (i.e. more contagious but less serious), but the two people I know who have contracted it this year have both been on their ass for at least a day or two. Add on top of that that we still don’t fully understand Long Covid…
In terms of voting population? I imagine 50 is the split point.
From what I understand (person living in the US in their 30s), pretty much everyone I know has gotten the vaccine and 2 boosters. But (allegedly) because insurance companies are no longer footing the bill, pharmacies are stonewalling people asking for the next booster. I know three people who have separately been in contact or contracted the new Covid strain, all of whom couldn’t get the latest booster.

Also, I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to install any other browser on iPhones unless you get root.
Edit: It looks like you can with iOS 15.0
Your test analogy kind of proves the point, though. Say you have a 10 question test and 8 are very easy, and the last 2 are very difficult. In general, if you’ve done your homework, you should get most of the first 8. Whether or not you get a really good grade will depend more on the last 2. I think both parties are guilty of assuming they’ll get the first 8 correct no problem, but there is a tactically sound reason to focus on the last 2.
