👆👆 THIS, a thousand times this 👆👆 Unless it's in a videos thread I ain't clicking on a video link which doesn't include a short tl:dw. I have better things to do than play link content roulette.

My smartphone hides signatures when viewing the site in portrait. It shows them in landscape.

Don't blame the court system for it taking too long to get a fair hearing. The blame for that can be placed squarely at the feet of the legislature's failures.

Speedy can also be interpreted to mean "as soon as we can get to it" ... which - with how Congress goes about neglecting to fill Judicial vacancies due to politics - also means "this'll take awhile".

That's where the alleged crimes took place so DC courts and juries from that federal district have jurisdiction. This isn't a denial of due process in that regard.

There are more privately owned firearms in the US than there are Americans. Good luck with that. Plus, someone with enough money to retain a rabid pack of lawyers who thinks "'those people' shouldn't have guns" will sic that rabid pack of lawyers on you if you try to take away one of his guns.

Or bafflingly badly ...

If speed did matter you aren't going to gain anything by trying to optimize something like: incl 4(%eax) when adding a vote to a specific candidate's tally. The time consuming part is everything that happens before that instruction to add one to what's stored at a specific memory location.

1) Integer maths is (esp. division) is faster than floating point maths. Much of it is literally one clock cycle. 2) No rounding errors.

That only applies to floating point numbers. Relational operators do work right with integers, which is what you should be using when counting votes.

8 states default to mail-in/drop-off voting. Others allow for it under certain circumstances. https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/vopp-table-18-states-with-all-mail-elections.aspx In New Mexico, fr'ex, a small (<100 voters) precinct that's remote enough (20mi+ from border to...

As a Hoosier I say "yay!"

The guys and gals who get called RINOs and DINOs aren't the villians. They're the ones who decide which direction things are gonna go because you're never going to convince the people who are staunchly on one side that their position isn't the best one.

I'm a Democrat who votes for Republicans about 1/4 to 1/3 of the time. Just because you have D or R at the end of your name doesn't mean that you actually have the support of the voters from your own party.

IIRC, elections in Georgia are certified by the Secretary of State. Since 2019 that's been Brad Raffensperger. He's a Republican.

It's less a matter of control and more a matter of making sure all of the people in those positions are honest. I have enough faith in humanity to believe that the overwhelming majority of them are.

Roughly 2 minutes of bloviating about stuff for sale you should buy before he says anything on-topic screams of "paid shill". No, I do not want that pillow. Please don't post stuff like that because it's just annoying. Please post the source instead.

I think Iowa does it right when it comes to drawing the lines for Congressional Districts: at the county line and nowhere else. That doesn't work for the state I live in because the county I'm in (and 50 others in various other US states) would be underrepresented in the House if that was the...

No worries. No two English speakers use the exact same dialect of English. As long as the point is understood it's all good.
