What is EXIF data? Location and time stamp? How do you remove that from photos and videos?

Bush was also before the Tea Party split. Those are the crazies that left the Republicans and came up with people like Ted Cruz. Then they rejoined the Republican party and threw them much further right, as we’ve seen with the Maga movement.

It’s not rude at all!

It’s best if you stack similar plates together and put the silverware on top or leave it separately. Its also hekpful to have any leftover food on the top plate rather than smushed in the middle. If all the dishes are different shapes, biggest on the bottom like a pyramid.

At the restaurant I worked, we had a bun for compost, trash, and recycle. So it could be helpful to keep trash out of the food scraps still on the plates. Please don’t leave trash in the cups, because we have to fish it out. Water is heavy and we can’t just throw out all the ice with the straw wrappers and the wrappers can’t go down the sink.

That was just 3 years after homosexuality was legalized. They were still reacting from Lawrence v TX and prepping for the push for marriage Equality.

This seems like bad behavior to me, doing something explicitly forbidden by the Constitution. Given that the Constitution says a justice shall “hold their office during good Behavior”, he should be terminated from his position of power.

"If the Republican candidate dies or is incapacitated after the convention and before Election Day, the Republican National Committee (RNC) will meet to select a presidential candidate and/or vice-presidential candidate under Rule 9 of party rules.

…

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is also authorized to select the party’s nominee in the event that the winner of the convention cannot run. This is spelled out in the charter of the Democrat Party. However, since DNC members are awarded to states according to the size of the states, there would be no adjustments.

…

If the candidate dies or is incapacitated after Election Day, the Constitution kicks in. The first milestone will be the December 17, 2023, meetings of the electoral college. It may surprise many to know that the electoral college is composed of real flesh and blood electors who meet in their state capitols and sign documents (attestations) that are forwarded on to the president of the Senate (the vice president) for the purposes of counting only! We only hear about electors when someone decides to make a point and vote for someone whose slate they were not on. (During segregation some of these so-called “faithless electors” voted for segregationist candidates.1) Some states have laws binding electors to vote for the winner of the election, others do not. If the winner of the convention dies or is incapacitated it is likely that the legislature would quickly meet to amend the law so that their votes would count.

Finally, what if the president-elect dies or is incapacitated after the electoral college meets and before the inauguration? The authors of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, the one adopted to provide for a way to pick a new vice president, thought of this. If the president-elect dies or is incapacitated the vice president is inaugurated. Section 3 of the 20th Amendment reads:

“If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President.”"

It’s also not healthy to withhold that long and could lead to health issues. Ironically no shave November was created to highlight the very male health issues that no nut November could exacerbate.

Depends on when the death occurs. I don’t know what would happen if the death occurred after the people vote, but before the electors cast their votes.

I’ve heard there are people that do something similar to get on those reality shows about fat people’s lives or the weight loss competitions. I guess some think it’s easier to gain 100 more pounds and then get on the TV show to lose 400 pounds than it is just to lose 300 pounds themselves.

Tx has been moving towards flipping blue.

Clinton lost by ~800,000 votes (5% of registered voters) and Biden lost by ~640,000 votes (~3.5% of registered voters). This year, TX is breaking records for early voting turnout, and, historically speaking, Democrats win with high turnout. In just 4 days, TX has cast almost 1/4 as many votes as the entire 2020 election and that’s during the first week of early voting when the polls are only required to be open 9 hours a day. We still haven’t seen the turnout for this weekend or next week, when polls are open at least 12 hours a day.

Clinton lost by 800,000 votes (5% of registered voters) and Biden by 640,000 votes(3.5% of registered voters). It has been getting much closer. We could flip this year if voter turnout keeps this pace.

You can’t gerrymander a statewide election like US Senator or President. Those are total number of votes across all voters in the state. The state senators and representatives are definitely gerrymandering.

It’s also possible for Texas to go blue this election. Hillary needed 800,000 votes (5% of the registered voters) and Biden needed 630,000 votes (3.5% of the registered voters). It’s been really close the last couple presidential elections and Beto was really close to ousting Cruz in 2018.

Don’t forget, Biden won more votes in TX than he did in NY and Trump received less votes in TX than CA in 2020. We can definitely flip this year, we just need a large turnout. Historically speaking, Dems win with large voter turnout out and we are breaking records this year.

It’s also a school day, so they may have been in class. At least that’s what I’m hoping. Most, of not all, of my polling places are open 7AM-7PM this Saturday and 11AM-5PM this Sunday. I imagine the younger voters will be more able to vote then between college classes and jobs.

The first week of voting also has shorter hours (at least 9 hours required by law) versus the second week with polls open at least 12 hours a day. Those longer hours are going to be more compatible with those holding multiple jobs or school/job.

If enough people make it to the polls, she could win.

Hillary lost by 5% of registered voters (800,000 votes), Biden by 3.5% of registered voters (~630,000 votes).

From what I’ve seen the first day of early voting (yesterday) was breaking records with over 45,000 votes cast in Travis County (Austin, TX) and Dallas cast over 55,000 votes. We just need the momentum to continue.

I think the pandemic will definitely have an effect. If I recall correctly, Fox News changed gears and started promoting the vaccine after realizing that their base was dying at a faster rate than Democrats.

It could have been a co tributing factor to Georgia voting for Biden in 2020 and could be a reason why Biden was closer to winning TX than Hillary was.

Florida is hard to say, because a lot of retirees move there. So while the Republicans there may have been hit harder during covid, those may have been replaced with more Republicans moving in to retire in the sun.

Not when a political party who loses when voter turnout is high is allowed to make rules around registering to vote.

That’s more than Hillary and Biden needed to win the state in their respective elections.

Idk why people procrastinate and go the last day. Texas was the first state to allow early voting in person(1980). It’s been around long enought that everyone should know about it. The people I’ve talked to who don’t vote just come up with excuses about not voting and the voter apathy is really strong here. The idea that your vote doesn’t count also needs to go away, TX has been very close to turning blue for a while. In 2016, Hillary needed only 5% more of the registered voters to win TX, in 2020 Biden needed less than 4%. In fast in 2020, Biden won more votes in TX than NY and Trump won more votes in CA than TX. We are so close, people just need to look up their local polling place and get there. Some are even open on the weekends.

Edit: I’ve only waited in line once to vote, because I always vote in the first 2 weeks of voting and that was for less than 10 minutes. The long line excuse only works on the final day to vote with everyone procrastinating. The polls are typically open the same hours during the second week of voting as the last day, so there isn’t really any special reason to go on the last day.

Only for certain people. However we were the first state to have early in-person voting!

Hillary only needed 5% more of the registered voters to win in 2016. Biden needed less than 4%. We just need people to turn out.

In 2020, Biden received more votes in TX than NY and Trump received more votes in CA than TX.
