I didn’t get a Bambu printer because of the price or design, I got it because of its “just works” reputation, which it does.

Unless Qidi matches that ease, it isn’t equivalent, and that’s important to mention. Maybe it does?

And yeah, I don’t love the recent changes, but that’s only ideologically. Practically speaking it is still amazing.

I hear you, but what if maybe, I know this is crazy, the government only took from the people but didn’t actually provide any services to them. It could be soooo profitable!

Well that’s idiotic. You can also drop it off in person at any mailbox or any county drop box. If you want to define it by your proximity to where you drop it off instead of by process, we can say it’s all in person voting.

And of course I’m arguing semantics, definitions ARE a matter of semantics. Also, I work for the government, you have no idea the number of stupid ambiguous laws we have to navigate every day. We live in a world of semantics.

One of us is an elections official in Washington, it isn’t you. King county is having a special election right now, if you are in a participating district, ask them what the difference is between the “in person” ballot and the mail in when you go in. It’s the same ballot.

Oh that makes sense, they do have a separate process there to handle all the people that are convinced that there’s an in person process, but it’s still just a mail in ballot and a county drop box, they just don’t have time to try and convince you that you aren’t special.

Maybe that was back when they still had in person voting in Washington, but it’s just one type of ballot packet and mail or drop boxes now.

Maybe they held your hand and called it in person to make you feel better, but there’s no different process in Washington State that’s different than the mail in process.

Yeah, no.

Even if you choose to pick up your mail in ballot in our office, and even if you drop off in the drop box in our office, you still got a mail in ballot and dropped it in a county drop box. Everyone can do that, you weren’t special or different, just needy.

Maybe so, but in that case doing it at home with your own mailbox meets that same criteria.

My point is that there isn’t a different “in person” process. There’s only one process; you get a mail ballot packet, you fill it out, and you drop off in a mailbox or county drop box.

I work in elections in Washington, there is only mail in voting plus county drop boxes. Yes you can say you lost your ballot or didn’t get it and come in for a replacement, but we give you the same mail in packet you world receive at home.

Yes you can drop it in the drop box in our office or you can take it home and mail it. But any voter can drop their mail in ballot off in our office as well. We don’t have polling places or voting machines, or a way to separate out and assign race to a ballot so we could somehow treat those differently. They all come in as a big stack for processing.

Why do ballots get rejected? Mismatched signatures is the biggest reason. If your signature doesn’t match what we have on file we mail you a form to fix it, we also text and email you. Maybe from demographic groups are less likely to respond? The other one is people who forget to sign, which follows the same procedure.

What I can say is that is there is some sort of disparity, it isn’t happening in the ballot processing room.

Look for kindness. Look for a group trying to build something for others, not just tear something down or personal gain.

Looked mine up… There’s part off the problem…

I just switched to Linux and couldn’t figure out the install. But I literally just switched to Linux, so I don’t know, it could work great for all I know.

Get SketchUp Make 2017 from the wayback machine. Is super intuitive and you can import stl files directly.

Honestly, they are just in denial that it happened so long ago and they are the unwanted damned left behind.

Married, happy, and doing financially ok (house paid off but no real savings). Life would have been a lot harder with kids.

How to debone a chicken:
First, remove the orgasms from inside the body cavity and set side.
Wash and dry the children.
Place the chicken in the rectum of a live cow to tenderize for three hours.
Turn the cow inside out and remove the chicken.
Coat the chicken in a thin brine of jet fuel and dust with flour.
Tie the legs of the chicken to a doorknob with a line of dental floss and save for later.
Ignite the chicken and catch it in a 2 quart greased pan at 425 degrees.
The bones will slide out easily.

Hey guys, this right here is a super valuable point to address and really strikes straight to the heart of the ability of a system like this to give the illusion of choice. People absolutely will still think, despite this, they are still in control and we need to address it not dismiss it.

I’m undoing the downvote on this comment, it absolutely is a big part of the conversation, even if you think it’s naive.

Ah the age old riddle “if a voters pamphlet has a statement on a page no one reads, is it really there?”

The list and statement are on page 26, where they list all the candidates.

People do have the right not to make intelligent decisions.

Sure, doctors and lawyers have their obligations, but a victim has the right to nope the fuck right out of there to avoid additional mental trauma. It isn’t up to you.
