So it's basically the difference between D and R early votes in Clark County?

What does the Clark firewall refer to?

So how would this system prevent people from voting multiple times or voting as someone they're not? Could you elaborate on what you meant when you said "alternative ways"? I'm imagining something like fingerprints or retina scans, both of which take more time and money than a simple ID.

Also I'm not too familiar with the DMV, but isn't that for driver's licenses only? Surely that's not the only way to get an ID in the US?

I guess my point is rather than allowing voting without ID, there should be better systems in place to provide everyone with an ID.

Why are democrats not as supportive of ID laws? I would assume it's obvious you need an ID to vote, or am I missing something here?

Also I'm amazed by how people don't seem to understand what half-life is. It's not the time it takes for an atom to decay. It's the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay, meaning there will be some U-238 that decay into Ra-226 in just a couple of seconds.

So even if the Earth was created 4000 years ago with uranium but not lead (for some weird reason), some of that lead would have decayed into lead by now.

"You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital."

"A hospital? What is it?"

"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

I was actually surprised when I was in the UK last year and people were standing on the right in the escalators. But they walked on the left in crowded places. I was expecting all pedestrian traffic to be left-sided, but it was more mixed, like their measurement systems...

In case someone else also wants to know more about this lottery:

I also feel the need to remind people that while most combatants are male, not even close to all males are combatants. If only women and children (probably almost all civilian) made up 60% of all deaths, then the remaining 40% includes all male civilian deaths, which very well could be higher than combatant deaths.

Yup, if someone works "harder" they're either being exploited or they live in a less advanced society where technology doesn't help the working class as much.

I would understand these news as Colorado will try to avoid starting new highway projects, not that they would cancel currently ongoing ones.
