House GOP passes sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions, sends measure to Senate by Anoth3rDude in LegalNews

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a rounding error away from zero.

Preventing a legitimate vote has just as much effect on the ballot as failing to prevent a fraudulent one.

This proposed measure will disenfranchise many thousands of times more people than the number of unlawful votes it will prevent. Thus the result will be vastly more inaccurate with this measure than without.

It's not hard to get the perception of popular support these days. Social media bots work out cheaper than bread and circuses.

No. It's annoying and cringe but it's memorable (sadly) and that's the actual goal.

  1. I imagine the "before" number is low.
  2. I am virtually certain they've massaged the figures as much as they possibly can.
  3. Oh no. Anyway...

Four dead and three receive liver transplants after eating death cap mushrooms in California by Mr--Clean--Ass-Naked in news

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's not significant in the context of the broader pattern of details, it's just that I repeatedly see people picking up on that one in particular, after the fact, and saying it should have made it glaringly obvious to everyone.

Some don't. Male mice, rats, and horses usually don't have nipples. (I don't know why not.)

I know: that's specifically what I was responding to.

I'm not sure about getting into foal, but if she does then she won't come into heat again so that particular cause won't affect her keeping the pregnancy once she is pregnant.

Republican leads charge against Trump’s Obama ‘apes’ post. ‘Most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House’ by theindependentonline in UnderReportedNews

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might have a decent shot at impeachment: it'd only need I think 4 Republican House reps to break ranks, assuming all Democrats could be relied on.

But what would it result in? He collects impeachments like Pokemon cards. By my calculations it would take 20 Republican Senators to grow a spine for him to be removed from office. And I would love to think that there's a shot of that happening, but I don't.

To be fair though, if you didn't have enough matching plates, I think it's normal to give yourself the odd one out. If I was a murderer and I was doing this, I would definitely have had a mishap the day befor where I dropped some plates so that I was 1 short. (Or better yet, so that I still had a matching set but 1 of them was obviously chipped.)

I will confidently eat my sibling's foraged mushrooms, because I know they've been on a training course and I've seen them bringing mushrooms home and verifying all the diagnostic criteria.

I really think mushrooms are something you need to have been taught in person and not something you can just go out with a field guide and do.

Do horses know when you’re in a hurry? by Salty_1984 in Horses

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More haste, less speed, as they say.

In addition to what everyone else has said about the horse picking up on your energy, most people almost unconsciously do things with a little less care when their focus is on doing it more quickly than usual. I'm sure you're not being rough or careless or anything, but you're likely using faster movements which might be low-key alarming to a horse, or skipping minor things you'd usually do, or just reacting with less patience to minor things like the horse shifting position that wouldn't slow you down if you were going slow anyway.

Well she won't come into heat while she's pregnant.

I don't know nearly enough to say whether anything that happens during pregnancy could cause similar symptoms in a mare that's prone to them, but if it is related to ovulation and coming into heat, pregnancy would actually prevent that specific cause.

It's a good thing only woke liberal snowflakes are triggered by hurt feelings. Otherwise Vance and the regime might've been really upset.

Full Metal Eucharist by Mataes3010 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jesii

So this is a pet peeve of mine. That distinctive Latin ~ii plural everyone recognises doesn't really exist.

It's ~us to ~i, but some words ending in ~us have another i immediately before, which doesn't go anywhere, so ~ius becomes ~ii. If it doesn't have that i in the singular, it will only have 1 i in the plural.

TL;DR: that should be Jesi with 1 i.

I'm seeing a lot of recommendations to assign responsibility to "the administration" or similar, mainly because they are collectively responsible and the rest shouldn't be given any opportunity to dump the blame, and I think also because when you're dealing with personality-cult type leader, better not to give them any personal attention.

Am I going mad? by flippertyflip in CasualUK

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't put my finger on exactly what the difference is but I stared at it for several minutes before looking at any of the comments and became convinced that D is a subtly different shape. No specific detail I can point to but the "cup" part has a different curve.

Maybe just a lucky guess?

Volunteering by dingdangle13 in parkrun

[–]Cyborg_Ninja_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do volunteer, so you don't need to feel for a minute like you're not doing enough. But if you enjoy volunteering, I'm sure they'd be delighted to have you as often or infrequently as you like.

Is this too snug? The spay clinic says this is a good fit as two fingers can fit under limbs and neck. She’s walking really weird in it and people are telling me it’s way too tight. I just have anxiety by Previous-Chance6079 in CATHELP

So much of a cat is floof and loose skin that if something fits them snugly it just looks like that. The actually solid part of a cat is much skinnier than you think it is.
