Now that The Onion owns InfoWars I'm sure Alex Jones would take the offer.

I've used the free online banking from Charles Schwab as well as Capital One for years and don't see any fees. Schwab refunds any ATM fees for withdrawing cash, even internationally last I tried. Capital One also has a large partner ATM network.

You also get to use a smaller lighter ICE motor which is augmented by nearly instantaneous electric power. My favorite car was a Prius C which is no sportscar, but feels much zippier than you would expect for getting 50 mpg.

Not as bad as a recent security patch which unexpectedly upgraded Windows Server 2022 to 2025 causing at least a few outages I know about for our clients.

Trying to be memorable is a narcissist trait I wish would go away. After the planet cleanses itself of humanity because America elected their chief narcissist, there will be nobody around to read Wikipedia.

Most important for me is being able to simply read the ballot and research candidates at my leisure. Not sure about failure points, my state has used mail voting for many years without issue and if Trump's lackey makes ballots go missing I will know because I can track my ballot on the state's website.

A really important point is some voting machines are 'ballot marking devices' which give you a human readable paper ballot with your choices (good) however the actual counting is done using a barcode or QR code (bad). There is never a good reason to prevent voters from verifying their ballot has their intended choices, yet some areas still insist on using these absurd machines.

I would assume everything is running via containers which are load balanced and get recreated on crashing. Also I believe Google/Fastly is their CDN (load balancer)

Some of us attempt to take reality on reality's terms, rather than pretend we have national ranked choice voting. The only signal people are sending by voting for a third-party presidential candidate is that they are easily fooled into voting against their own interests. Feel free to organize for your preferred alternative during primaries and local elections, and know that the Republican party is not going implement RCV or give one single fuck about Netanyahu continuing his genocide.

I haven't used this advice myself yet, I stole it from Kevin

Every time you buy a Big Mac, set one ingredient aside. Then at the end of the week you have a free Big Mac. And you love it even more, because you made it with your own hands.

They still need more information, probably about her emails because they are so far behind on political news.
