As a "bear of very little brain", I think I will stick to our system, whereby you mark a cross on a ballot paper with a blunt pencil on a bit of string, and put it into a ballot box to be counted that night!
I don't know which country you are from but 21% of votes in the last UK election were postal votes.
Germany has had postal voting since 1957.

Aye sorry I should have expanded on my point about the complexity and cost of power units.
The rules need to change so they are simpler and therefor less expensive.
My rant in reference to Red Bull is because that team feels entitled to titles. They have a massive budget which is basically used to simply develop a chassis. The power unit is someone elses problem. I will personally laugh if they have to go back to Renault with their tail between their legs. They also have a shocking record regarding their own drivers.
Moto GP? When was the last time someone not riding a Repsol Honda won the championship? They have an even greater domination than Mercedes.
Moto 2. All engines are Triumph.
Last non Honda to win the title? Jorge Lorenzo. Yamaha. 2015.
"They have a massive budget which is basically used to simply develop a chassis". Same was true of McClaren and Benneton.

Possibly the doctor was mindful of patient/Dr confidentiality and had not covered the minutia with Trump before the interview, or perhaps confused and flustered by the interview? Who knows. I am sure all will be revealed as soon as possible.
The doctor later claimed that he "misspoke". Which is new Trump speak for "alternative facts", or lying to the common man.

IMHO, Sure, sure (recognize this?). Are cute, childish emoticons and ad hominem attacks your strong points? My comprehension may have checked out for the day due its being Sunday and due to other factors but I'll have my staff check it out. Anyway, pursuit of this discussion is off-topic so I'm (as usual) terminating it NOW IMHO.

Yeah this zero carbon thing sounds like nonsense. Honda just increased its commitment to IndyCar racing.
Fact is F1 power units have become so complicated they are massively expensive to build and develop.
If you are not winning then its hard to justify that expense.
This decision will of course cause Red Bull to have its usual tantrum over engine supply. Threaten to quit and Horner on TV every weekend honking about how the engine suppliers MUST give RBR a competitive power unit. Usually he wants the power unit that is currently winning.
I will say it again.
If Red Bull want a competitive engine they should build one themselves.
If everyone had to go down that road there would only be 2 cars on the track.
I like Moto2 where every bike is forced to use the same engine.........and its a Triumph!

Honda F1 engines ARE zero-emission after they crash or break down. LOL
Honda won six consecutive constructors' championships as an engine manufacturer (two with Williams between 1986–87 and four with McLaren between 1988–91), as well as five consecutive drivers' championships (one by Nelson Piquet in 1987, three by Ayrton Senna in 1988, 1990 and 1991, and one by Alain Prost in 1989).
Not a bad record.

IMHO, I thought the issue of using Wiki as a serious reference for political definitions (and many other categories AFIC) was handled quite well by stevenl HERE, IMHO.
Read back through the thread. He was replying to someone who had dissed my post which contained exactly the same Wikipedia quote. He was backing my use of the quote. Comprehension not your strong point?

These white labcoats said how proud and honored it was to care for 45. Yeah, pride and honor to care for Trump Vs. complete indifference to the 200K deaths of their fellow countrymen and women and children, many of which occurred due to the duplicity of the one they are so honored to be caring for. It caused me nausea to hear this. Wake up Americans, see how your taxpayer dollars are used against you.

The reality is that Trump is a fraudster or scammer. No, I haven't been looking at Thaifriendly too much. The truth is Trump is a con-man and many folks have bought into it. Those that haven't enjoy white privilege.
I sincerely hope democratized socialism catches on in the states particularity workers' rights and power to vote.
I'll debate anyone regarding capitalism. The truth is more equality will benefit all. F Trump & Biden too.
Read the U.S. Constitution. Very much a socialist manifesto.

, founder of "Proud Boys", is suing CNN and Biden for Mis-characterizations. The publicly-available article includes a video with Mr. McInnes stating his view of the statements made.
IMHO, Wallace should also be sued for associating "Proud Boys" with such violent/hate groups as BLM, the KKK and Antifa (which is only an "idea" according to Biden's statement during the debate"), IMHO.
IMHO, Trump should be FRAPPED for accepting Wallace's "Proud Boys" submission as an example of a "white supremacy" group (whatever that is). Neither of them knew what or whom they were talking about, IMHO.
PM me for the link to the McInnes law suit article.
Maybe he should sue Wikipedia too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys
"The Proud Boys are a far-right, neo-fascist and male-only organization that promotes and engages in political violence."
Even stranger, considering the lawsuit, is that McInnes has disassociated himself from the group.

We know that Trump get tested daily at the WH,
Do we know that? He contracted Covid on Saturday but didn't test positive for almost a week. If he were tested every day then he would have tested positive sooner. Just another of Trumps boastful lies.
Its my assertion that he rarely, if ever, got tested but had the test Thursday evening/Friday morning because he had developed symptoms.

It also would mean he was lying through his teeth, when he said during the debate that he had been tested that day.
Trump claimed that he had been tested previously that day by his own team. From what we now know about the timeline of Covid and trumps Covid timeline, that seems unlikely unless he had a false negative.

Its pretty certain that he was.
https://www.medmastery.com/guide/covid-19-clinical-guide/covid-19-disease-progression
The median for infection to symptoms showing is 5 days. That would put his infection around the time of the gathering at the Rose garden the previous Saturday. 7 people who attended the gathering have since tested positive for Covid.
People are at their most infectious 1 to 2 days before symptoms start (plays a big part in the virulent spread of Covid) but begin to be infectious 2-3 days before symptoms start.
Its possible that the president was infectious at the time of the debate. Interestingly, the moderator has revealed that Biden and his team arrived at the venue the night before the debate, as arranged, and all underwent the Covid test. Trump and his entruage arrived at the venue late afternoon on the day of the debate and it was too late to test them. They were never tested.

Why do you still care so many years later that you never went back? Find a bar you like, learn its rules and enjoy life.
As I said, Bodega is known for being a hassle free bar where lady drinks are not on its list of priorities, but still they upset you
I thought you started this thread because you didn't like being told what to post in Leaver's thread?
Oh well, back to Leaver's thread.

All those people with, say, terminal cancer who contracted the virus and then died as a result the cancer that their families and doctors knew was going to take their lives must have died from Covid is what you are saying. That's nonsense. For you to believe what "the experts" (promoting the Covid death figures) say, that you refer to in this context, is simply your being "willfully ignorant"
All those people, say who are in hospital on a ventilator and say, a nurse comes up and hits them in the face with a cod, killing them instantly. What do they die of?

After mixed messages from White House, Trump says 'real test' ahead in his COVID fight
in World News
Posted
On a serious point, Mike Pence was at the event, sat close to some of those who subsequently tested positive and mingled with many. After the event, a number of key players attended a meeting inside the WH, including Pence and the Trumps.
Covid protocol dictates that he should now self isolate for 14 days. However he continues to travel round the country electioneering and possibly spreading Covid far and wide. The Trump team have clearly not learned their lesson and continue to treat the dangers of Covid with disdain. Covidiots.
