The reasons I was given for first Tuesday in November are:

1. After “pay day” at beginning of month (not everyone gets paid on the first of the month though).
2. So you will be sobered up from your weekend drunk.

The idea behind #1 is that it should be harder to bribe you if you have recently been paid. The reason behind #2 is that you will be sober when you vote.

Also, in my state at least, alcohol sales are prohibited while the polls are open for voting.

I’m guessing you might be from Canada (Hello up there friend)!

Because certain groups in power are total pieces of @#$_&-+/!

Which States Ban Giving Food and Water to Voters at Polling Places?

Elections in the US didn’t used to be so controversial, but in the last 10 years certain groups/parties have been crying foul (baselessly I might add) about illegal voting.

You are supposed to be able to go to the polling place on election day and vote. There are limited voting hours (generally about 12 hours), it is not a national holiday (should be), your employer does not have to give you time to vote (paid or not). You might be able to vote via postal mail (but it varies by state what “valid reasons are” to do that).

The US really needs election reform nation wide.

Humm, I installed Windows 11 on a really old Dell laptop (clean install). I’m sure it was not HW supported but it installed fine. I may have had to click something like, " Yeah I know it doesn’t meet the specs"; but otherwise fine.

No, I don’t like Windows but it’s what my partner needed at the time.

I meant “Right after the person saying 'Go back where you came from ’ went back to where they came from”.

Not actually the part about the keys; sorry I didn’t make that clear.

Some Idaho state senators are such stupid turds.

In historic times, people knew horses were land animals. So, I expect we will see this invention in about two more weeks.

Right after you do!

A good number of people did until early 2022. It looked a lot better on paper.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

I bet they would charge them with “Creating a public disturbance.”

That’s what the cop who told me in Indiana, “Sure, you can wash your car at a public car wash while having a pistol in view; it’s not illegal. But I’ll arrest you and put you in jail for ‘creating a public disturbance’ in less than a heartbeat”. And, no, he wasn’t joking.

What is this “care” thing you refer to? Human idea not found . . . /s

I sure hope they don’t go that way!

I’ve been trying to remember all the little folks since I’ve become so fabulously wealthy, but it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. /s

I’ll let them know that (in case it ever becomes relevant).

They are a wonderful partner and I would never leave them for something so minor. It’s just a thing I can’t quite wrap my head around - I’m sure I have things about myself that they don’t get either. It’s not a big deal to either of us.

Tried that many times (to no avail).

We are both university grads and know how math works. They just can’t get past the psychological barrier of “the bill will be higher when we check out”.

If only there was a way to have prevented this - perhaps thinking before posting would have helped.

Can’t get my partner to do this. They are too worried about “saving money/we don’t need it (now)”. For heavens sake, I’m not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!

That’s such a sad way to put it; and yet still so accurate when it comes to these POSs.

allegedly blocked the teen’s car from leaving . . .

Sounds like unlawful imprisonment to me. I’m sure he will be prosecuted for that (NOT).

While there may be “No stupid questions”, there are many, many “Stupid answers”.

What this NCO did was not dumb; it was calculated and intentional violations of multiple rules and regulations they (and the others involved) knew very well. Then they tried to cover it up when people started asking questions.

Absolutely no sympathy for them in my book. These are supposed to be the leaders other enlisted look to emulate.
