Why?




Perhaps because Republicans think that their votes won't count if they mail them in. Perhaps because Democrats put off voting more often in lots of different races.




In this case late-arriving ballots aren’t just favoring Democrats but Raman specifically, which is very convenient!




Do I really need to explain to you that LA is full of pinkos who want to elect a socialist? Do you think it's sus that Mamdani won in NYC? Where did the phantasm of the Based Angeleno come from? I can assure you that Angelenos are not Based.

I don't know about LA county but only 0.7% of ballots counted so far are in the curing process in my county. What's your evidence for the "incredible amount" that go through curing?

later-arriving votes always favor Democrats?




It's pretty unsurprising if mail voters vote Democrat.

It's got nothing, or at least little, to do with late arriving vote by mail ballots. My county has nearly 100k uncounted ballots that arrived by the second.

I was sweating bullets by the end of the Norf FC Identification Quiz.


I got 76% which is remarkable because I feel like I have mild face blindness and was practically guessing for two thirds of the time.

Story 1




I don't have the time for this, but has anyone looked into the bugs introduced to see if they were bugs a human wouldn't have introduced or would have caught in code review? Or, failing that, if they should have been caught in testing? I wouldn't be surprised if the testing story on a project like this is not very good, and the fact that the author is flaunting his CS PhD makes me positively suspect it.




fortunately, top men are on the case to discredit such harebrained nonsense.




"Jews developed this so it's a honeypot" is indeed nonsense even if it really is a honeypot.

The vlogger linked in the OP is rather flat chested, and still sometimes wears very deep cut blouses anyway




You and I may have different standards for "very deep cut".




She does not enjoy watching more voluptuous women looking sexy.




I think this is basically what I said.




Men also complain about media that flaunts being for someone with opposing preferences when they didn't think it would be going in. She seems to feel that way about Euphoria.




I'm not sure what you mean by this (I don't know anything about Euphoria).

You're overthinking it.


Women want (hot) men to think they are hot. Unfortunately:


    

  1. 

    Women become less hot with age.
    

    2. 

  2. 

    There's always a hotter woman.
    

    3. 



Women are aware of these facts, and these cause insecurity. Men who go to the movies to ogle Sydney Sweeney's huge rack trigger both older women and women who suspect Sweeney is hotter than them because it directly competes with them for sexual attention from those men (some of whom are hot). In contrast, I've never heard of a woman in a relationship with a man she finds attractive complaining about her man "objectifying" her. It really is that simple.

I don't know what kind of Angeleno is unaware that the Palisades are burned to a crisp. The base rate of such fuckups (showing old imagery under a wrong date) is unclear to me.

When you buy a share in a company, you do so because you believe that it will provide value back to you over time. Most commonly, this is done as either a dividend (traditionally) or as a share buyback (more common these days).




Surely the most common way of providing value is by going up before I sell it.

Nothing the cops said suggests they saw the wounds and then decided to ignore it,




What could they have said to suggest this? "okay m8, I see you're coughing up blood, but I'm going to ignore that, you haven't been stabbed, mmmkay?" Kind of an unreasonable expectation on your part. It's obvious that they wouldn't say they're ignoring the wounds if they're ignoring them.

His wounds were in such a way that they weren't easily visible so even when he's saying he got stabbed, they assume it's the insane mutterings of a druggie high off whatever.




How could a man with four stab wounds, one of which is 8cm deep, not have any visible injuries? What's the source for this claim?

I think the thing about crock pot cooking (or stews) that's different is that you eat the "meat water" (aka, in this case, broth). The idea of boiling a chunk of meat and then throwing out the water seems decidedly weirder.

Cooking in a bastable on a crook over the fire is different to cooking in an oven! You can use it for baking, but roasting? Much more tricky!




Well, I suppose, but I'm pretty sure you can fry stuff in a pan over a fire, and I'm sure the Irish people developed oven technology at some point. I also expected that today's Irish are a few generations away from the last time they had to cook over an open fire instead of on a gas hob.

I'm not sure I've ever encountered a food that is best cooked by boiling, excepting dry goods like beans or pasta. I suppose potatoes sometimes need to be boiled as a first step in preparation.

But the bother of two separate sets of cooking vessels etc. is inconvenient, unless our vegans persuade us all to become vegans like them.




Do they object to the same vessel being used for meat and then for veg or do they object to meat products used in preparation of the veg?




The meat water? Did you never hear of boiling vegetables (e.g. cabbage) in the same water you cooked the bacon in?




I've never heard of cooking bacon in water in my life. Growing up my Slavic parents would cook hot dogs in water but that's basically the only meat I've ever seen cooked by boiling as far as I can remember (I'm not counting stock here).


Why don't you fry or roast the bacon? Surely you are losing flavor by boiling it? @FttG do you people really boil your meat?

Last minute dietary surprises are hugely impolite but it's hardly unreasonable for vegetarians not to want to eat vegetables roasted in meat droppings (or boiled in "meat water", whatever that is).
