I once waited half an hour for voting, because I foolishly decided to vote just when Sunday mass was over (we vote on Sundays, and my polling station was right across the church). Never made that mistake again, waiting time is usually five to ten minutes.

Regarding comprehensive knowledge: there might be a lot of topics where you lack the knowledge to write a good and detailed answer. There might even be topics where you don’t even have a clue what they are actually asking about.
But I am sure there are topics where you are the person in the know. And someday, someone will ask a question where you are the person perfectly qualified to answer it.
That’s how I got a free netbook. The netbook had 32GB flash with windows and office occupying 27+GB. Then windows wanted to do an update - with an 8+GB file. Spot the problem. And windows can get quite annoying with updates. As the netbook could not be expanded, and attempts to redirect the update to a USB stick did not work, a newer netbook was bought, and I got the old one. Linux plus libreoffice plus a bunch of extras happily sat in 4GB…
I have seen such an idiot riding downhill with 40km/h and texting. I stayed far behind him so I at least had a chance to brake in case he made a meat crayon. Luckily I had to leave the road shortly after while he was still texting.
Trump will tell them that he is the most sophisticated president ever, even when he loses and ends up in the psych ward.
C&C Red Alert, I played red, friend played blue. I spent loads on tesla coils, which I kept in the rear of my base. He found my base, did not get near enough to see the coils before my guards killed his scout, and returned with an army, expecting the camp to be nearly undefended. His complete army got roasted by the tesla coils.
Next turn, he was red and I was blue. He tried to copy my tactic, but I came from the rear with a small unit and killed two of his power stations, disabling his power grid. No power, no tesla coils…
If it only was that easy.
If they would nuke Gaza, they could not occupy it to the Israeli settlers, which are already distributing that land among themselves.
Pushing them around like that keeps them from accessing food, rest, shelter, and medication. It is a tried and tested method used by evil governments all over the earth. Look up “Trail of Tears”. Gaza is the same, just with a forth and back movement. Any Gaza inhabitant that dies of these conditions saves an IDF bullet, and they can claim “it wasn’t us!”.
Ask people in Gaza whether this is fantasy or reality.
At university, a prof for theoretical CS (the kind of professor who thought CS students don’t need computers) was looking for someone to program something for him. The requirements really showed that he had no clue about programming. His assistent, sitting beside him, obviously knew that, too.
I basically told that prof that he had no idea what he was talking about, and suggested that he should attend a basic programming course before I left.
I would not be surprised if they did that - and then continued their way south. Israel is clearly out to exterminate the Palestinian people by any means possible, from outright shooting and bombing them to starving them and killing them by witholding medical services.
I hope not. I threw out a box of tins yesterday that I had forgotten about in a remote corner of the basement. On the other hand they were so many years past their “best before” date they might no longer qualify as food…
I wonder how much of that actually is development and not just the gazillionth instance of some web site builders scripts.
Liar, cheater, and lawsuit wielder? Perfect Ivy League material. Thats how political and managerial elites are made from.
Looks like they hate customers with a passion.
Short: Yes, of course. Long: Well, this is really a long answer, depending on your needs…
And again there will be no consequences for trampling on international laws.
Thanks! Now I know what that meme is about.
At least those were a) just banner ads and b) not as annoying as modern JS/HTML5/popup/popover ads are. You just scrolled down a few pixel, and had 100% information.
First past the post. Electorate college. Overrepresentation of smaller States. Gerrymandering. PACs.
And thats just the ones that pop up immediately. For calling yourself a democracy, your system is quite rigged.
