  • Are you a 'do the good part first' or 'save the best part for last' sort of person?

    Jump

  • First. I’ve always been “save the best for last”, but I’ve spent my entire life regretting never getting to the good part. I deserve better

  • Plus you can trust that no one else has your car, whereas you have no way of knowing how may times your monkey was copied or how may exist outside the scope of your “certificate”

  • The smoothest transition with least chance of damaging suspension is ….

    Mostly stop long enough for the car to stop leaning forward. Then gently accelerate of the bump. No dip, no damage

    Meanwhile I’ve paid to enough suspension repairs to not want to hurry up another.

  • It’s critically important to develop patience here in order to deal with people getting older and taking this to the next level

    My mom is a great person whom I dearly love but she’s fallen into the stereotype of old people rambling. Nothing is a simple question or statement anymore. It’s always a long meandering story with lots of detours

  • What’s the Point of School When AI Can Do Your Homework?

  • This seems like the same argument people had with calculators. We’ve had calculators, spreadsheets, cash registers for half a century now so why do the still teach math?

  • The Physics of Data Centers in Space

    Jump

  • SpaceX has done some great things to revolutionize space access, and already launches to orbit 80% by mass of all the worlds space “stuff”

    Now they’re getting close with StarShip/Superheavy, designed to carry 10+ times that every year. It will become much cheaper than anything before it, partly based on that economy of scale.

    But where’s the market for that scale? How the heck are they launching 800+% of the world’s satellites every year? Business as usual will not support that. SpaceX needs to create new markets to drive that business, perhaps mars colonies or datacenters in space. Think of it as them wanting to create new businesses to justify their new product

  • Is no one going to point out that it establishes requirements for birth certificates? If a state doesn’t already comply with all of those, are we going to have to be reborn?

  • Why do people go out of their way to dodge manhole covers while driving?

    Jump

  • No. Slowing may make the bump feel worse to you )unless you do it right) while still being less strain on your suspension

  • As a white guy, I’m aware that there have been times where I’m just accepted at face value when other people would have required ID. Why would voting be any different? It’s not the ID itself necessarily, but who is asked for it and who likely has it in order

    As an older guy I’ve also had occasion to laugh at zero tolerance ID mandates for alcohol. At one point I went out for drinks with co-workers of a variety of ages. I somehow forgot my ID so they refused service despite me obviously being well over the age requirement. Instead of getting frustrated, I was amused at getting a coworker less than half my age to buy my beer. Sometimes you just need to laugh at the ridiculousness. But it would not have been funny if something like this kept me from voting

  • That was the point elsewhere here that it would hurt republicans more.

    • republicans tend to be conservative, older, so are more likely for the woman to have changed her name
    • democrats tend to be more liberal or more progressive or more educated, all of which are more likely for the woman to keep her name when getting married.

  • In the US, it was a tradition. If it was a law at some point I never heard about it so probably way back. I’m pretty sure my aunt didn’t change her name with her first marriage and that would have been over 50 years ago.

    There were always exceptions to that tradition and they are becoming common. Of the same sex marriages I know, they each kept their name.

    Of the different sex marriages among my friends, all but two changed their name but I’m an older generation from many people here. I expect my kids generation to have very different results: we’ll see in a few more years

  • Historically this was actively fought as an anti-fascist concern. Up until recently it was a big human right issue that you should not be required to show identification except in limited circumstances

    And of course now with all the surveillance, tracking, and data collection, it’s more important than ever ….. just as we no longer care

  • people experiencing poverty are far less likely to be born in a hospital and have a birth certificate

    For example my teen just needed his birth certificate for a new job and we somehow misplaced it. Getting an expedited replacement took almost two weeks and cost $80.

    Even allowing for hospital birth and existing records, misplacing documents is all too easy and could easily become an obstacle to voting. If I’m struggling to make ends meet, no way in hell am I willing to pay $80 to vote and I wouldn’t have thought of it two weeks ahead of time

  • Don’t forget there are various reasons you might get disenrolled and have to register again.

    Including excessive “cleaning” the registration list, for districts which have too many non-Republican voters

  • Here is a list of allowed document for a similar problem, for employment. Note that it categorizes the possibilities as ID, citizenship, and work authorization, and you may need one each from multiple groups. For example you might use a drivers license as ID and a certified birth certificate as proof of citizenship

    It’s not quite the same since this allows identifying as from another country and with a valid work authorization, which do not apply to voting, but very similar

    Obviously I’m not saying this is appropriate to mandate for voting but if we were, this is a well thought out answer to that sort of question.

    It doesn’t address the voter suppression concern though
