I can't speak for other states but in Texas early voting means you can vote at any polling place in your county. They reduce the amount of available polling places on actual election day, and you must vote at the polling place for your precinct only as well. So you're more likely to have less of a wait time than on election day, and thus it'll be easier to do.

Yes, true. But at least I don't have to slather chemicals onto my skin to avoid the nuclear hellfire in the sky giving me cancer. I know cold ain't exactly like happy fun times. But I prefer it over heat absolutely.

In six months I'm gonna be so happy that the days are 6 hours long and everything will be gray, damp, and cool. Summers last like 6 months here and August is the hottest month. Will be wonderful to go outside without the sun trying to murder me.

More pointing out that there is a correlation with our modern diet and the rise of colon and rectal cancers in young people. UPFs are most likely not the sole issue but a contributor along with other things that are now in our food that weren't in the past.

My friend was just one of those that developed such a cancer and died from it young.

Cancer is a big risk

Had a friend of mine die on Thanksgiving last year in his early 30s from it. He was never obese in his life.

++ is the increment operator in C, which increases a value by 1. C++ was intended to be an improvement on C, and so it's saying that C++ is C incremented. C# is C++ ++ or C++ incremented. It's just a bunch of programmer jokes. There isn't a C+ afaik.

Youre right. Also the sides of the bed don't match up. The far side meets all the way at the bumper. The near side meets before the bumper and then continues on level with it before connecting.

Moon is tidally locked to the earth. So its day length is the same as it's orbit. That's 29.5 earth days which (using the logic you supplied) means that a lunar hour is approx 1.23 earth days.

It appears to be some sort of bromeliad. Many bromeliad species don't really have roots, but instead grow on top of rocks or other plants like trees. They get their water and nutrients from the atmosphere directly rather than from their roots. Some species even have leaf shapes that make like a bucket in the center to capture water to use. Anyways, they're cool plants. And some have absolutely beautiful flowers.

I tell people all the time that the bugs are all gone. It is terrifying! Younger generations will never experience those swarms. It is so sad.
