The drugs stopped being produced in 2011. So what remains has expired at this point.

So even if we consider they have stocks, those meds will not work as intended.

Expired meds can have a lot of differences. Sometimes they are fine for years after expiration. Sometimes they become less effective. Sometimes they have wildly different effects and interactions and the medication breaks down.

Wannabe Frenchies, the French don't care about them.

Alaska also has ranked choice voting. So the usual tactics elsewhere are less effective.

Because we allow cops to investigate themselves.

All investigations of law enforcement should be handled by a civilian agency.

To be fair, on paper...

1. Sell land for millions.
2. Google applies for building permits.
3. Deny permits because of environmental impact.

The odds of them completely ignoring step 2 are honestly pretty slim. Building permits are still necessary even if you're planning on ignoring things like the environmental stuff.

Civilian council, with first responders and relations (friends and family) barred from any position. If needed, a tribunal formed with a civilian jury pulled from the same pool as the courts.

There are other ways to mess with the counts that aren't going to be visible to the person as they make selections. Like having it show whatever they're selecting properly, then just printing different selections at the end. Not everyone is going to verify the printed copy shows what they selected, and already confirmed on the machine once.

Making it jump around on screen isn't discreet at all, and it's not the easiest way to try and interfere. Poorly calibrated touchscreens, and a user interface with inadequate spacing between options are much more likely reasons.

We're used to using devices that companies spend a lot of time designing the User Experience on. Voting machines are a very niche industry, with virtually no consumer backlash for a shitty experience because the voter has no direct control, and the government isn't going to be using that interface to handle things like counts at the end.

If corporations can make decisions which directly lead to the deaths of others then those impacted by those decisions should be able to respond in self defense.

Especially when they have policies to automatically deny claims, require appeals, etc. regardless of whether things should actually be covered. That's an explicit decision by the company to put those people's lives in danger, solely for the financial incentive.

Perhaps we need to add that to the murder definition.

100%

My expectation is that when these opportunities arise, it is the responsibility of the writer to use that headline.

Just cancel the building permits.

They already proved they won't follow even basic requirements.

That includes the 50+ years of growth needed to get it back to the "way it was". Of course.

yall need jeezus

Does this Jeezus have the BBC?

The machine allows a digital recording that can be tabulated faster than physically counting the paper ballots.

The paper ballots should still be the official votes and counts, but the machine means faster preliminary results.

Digital-only voting is an issue because there is no backup paper trail, and could easily be compromised without any visible indication.

There is no reason for the voting machine to know a name or display anything identifying. You should be verified separately before getting close to a machine to vote. It should be as dumb as possible. Only tabulating your selections and printing the result for you to verify then drop into the official box.

Like those cats with buttered toast strapped to their backs.

No one should ever take anything they don't personally know to be 100% accurate, as truth.

Everyone lies. Especially on the internet.

But not utilizing tools that are available, even if they are flawed, is just stupid. They still give you additional data points to form a more educated perspective.

The best solution is a digital system that can be instantly tabulated, but that provides a paper copy the voter can verify before submitting.

The only official count is the paper ballot count.

We get instant results, and accurate official counting without a speed component.

It really is fascinating.

The government could literally spin up their own Mastodon instance with minimal investment and management needed.

Only allow new posts from their own accounts, letting federation handle everything else for them. No need to have large moderation teams or anything like what traditional corporate monolithic solutions need.

Then check it. There are tools.

Why? It's Amazon.

The chances of them talking to the original creator of the content they are adapting is essentially zero. Just look at their previous adaptations.

EA still owns the IP, and they're not going anywhere.
