If you are reborn as a new person with none of your previous memories, then does it matter that it’s still “you”?

I’ve been running a pair of cyberpower systems for over a decade. I had to replace the battery in each of them once, but they’ve been working great.

I assume newer ones use some sort of Li-Ion battery tech, but mine are just plain old Lead Acid.

There are quite a few anecdotal cases of people dying shortly after retirement, or shortly after a spouse dies. Death is complicated and sometimes people “hold on” for weird and unexplained reasons.

People in terminal condition have a habit of dying when loved ones are out of the room.

Does Jimmy Carter feel like this election is something major he needs to accomplish before he goes? Maybe. Or maybe he just keeps busy with all of his volunteer work and other philanthropy, which is keeping him around.

Maybe he’s just one of the lucky ones that happens to be healthy and sharp at 100 for reasons we don’t know.

Q: Would you have certified the election results had you been vice president?
Vance: If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and so many others, that we needed to have multiple slates of electors. And I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there.

Because enough of the members were duped by trump and the leadership is too much of a coward to even try to educate them.

Sure, go ahead and try to execute the VP, overturn election results, completely stonewall judicial appointments, but actually calling out a traitor is a bridge too far.

CNN should be a town hall if trump doesn’t show. Make it happen with or without him.

Party leadership knows Trump is bad for them, so they will not support him.

Rank and file appear to have more Trump supporters than Harris (or Biden prior to the switch.)

Therefore the teamsters feel that they’re screwed if they endorse either one.

The article is worth a read.

Dude, I’m ON YOUR SIDE. Don’t attack me because I’m trying to explain why we’re not burning down the capital building.

I WANT there to be big improvements, and yes, I just got back from a trip to Europe and actually sat down and talked to locals over there.

I personally have very good vacation time, comparable to Europe, that I use.

I personally have very good health care, probably better than many areas of Europe. I have used it. I understand the limitations of the various systems and for me, personally, it wouldn’t be an advantage to move to most other countries.

There are MANY MANY people in the US that are in my same situation. But I also believe that even one person that doesn’t have the same access that I do is one too many, and the US system isn’t built to support them.

Me moving to another country will NOT improve my situation, but it will hinder my ability to push for change for the other 300 million.

One thing you have to realize is that a LOT of Americans HAVE very good health care and good vacation time. I do. I don’t have to worry about either of those things.

In fact, there’s a lot about the US healthcare system that is actually better than other countries. If I want (not need) an MRI, I can literally get one today.

Healthcare is more widely distributed in almost every other country, and I really really wish that we could get our shit together and separate healthcare from employment, I am voting, and donating, and I even went to a few protests about it.

I have vacation time. Many of my coworkers don’t even use up all their vacation time. They don’t want to, cause they have an unhealthy relationship with work, but it is available to them.

I live in a state that specifically passed laws (that I supported, and voted for) that specifically say we support gender affirming care and abortion rights, even for people traveling from states that don’t have those protections.

The US isn’t one place, every state has it’s own laws that protect people in different ways. Many of the cities also have their own protections as well.

I can move somewhere to get the exact same thing I have now, or I can stay here and keep pushing to help get EVERYONE else in this country the same quality of life that I have. And that’s what I’m going to do.

Whoa, really??? I guess I just assumed nothing changed in the last 5 years. I need to look into that.

Not the only use cases, but you’d need a different service if you need/want wildcard certs, certs that are manually installed and managed, or certs with a longer expiration.

Weird, I had no problem reading the article with a VPN and uBlock Origin turned on.

If you have the option, fill out the mail in ballot at home, but then bring it into an official ballot drop off location.

Tell that to Martha Stewart and Elon Musk.

SEC isn’t a savior, but they do enforce the law when it’s blatant.

If there’s a single copy of a comic book that sells for $1,000 that doesn’t mean you can sell 100 of them for that price.

If there’s a couple dozen shares of a stock selling for $15, that doesn’t mean there’s enough buyers to pay for a million of them at that price.

If trump dumps all his shares, the stock price will crash, and eventually there won’t be ANYONE to buy the stock and the price will be effectively $0.

Someone has to buy the stock that he sells. It doesn’t magically turn into money cause it has a listed value that day.

Sure, there can be some money laundering and foreign “investments” but the SEC really doesn’t like stock manipulation.

Does he actually know how to drive anything bigger than a golf cart?

It was an official act as part of his presidency, he should be immune.

Well you certainly accomplished a lot. I’m proud of you.
