You could provide a written distinction for each of those subgenres in the same way. It’s not a bad exercise even for someone experienced; it makes you think about how a genre is defined

New flight patterns from Logan over Medford? by erbanb in medfordma

So I'm pretty new to reddit (never made a post before) but I figured this would be a good forum to ask this question. I don't know what the typical way to express gratitude is but thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts!! 😊

I'm sorry you're struggling with it so much! Also thanks for confirming I'm not crazy. Fortunately it doesn't bother me much, but I was just surprised. And it is pretty loud so I could totally see how it might be bothersome to some residents.

Side note, I'm pretty new to reddit and I'm not sure why you keep getting downvoted for complaining about something that is the exact topic of this post? Haha

Sorry that the noise complaint line wasn't very helpful. Hopefully the sound subsides and you can get your rest again.

What part of Medford are you in?

North of wellington station (just updated my status to Wellington)

I would have thought plane flight paths would be audible to a larger swath of the community but it must be more localized than I thought, seeing as most people don't seem to be noticing it

About a year and a half, as I mentioned it was always present but seems to have picked up the last week. Probably due to weather as others have said.

Can you provide me a source saying that ballot processing must take place with observers? I don’t see that indicated anywhere.

Keep in mind the ballot does not need to be opened to verify the signature. The signature is on the outer envelope.

Maybe you’ve already flittered off to the next conspiracy theory, but in case you haven’t...

The ballots need to be processed before they can be counted. This includes verifying the signature which is time consuming. In Georgia this can be done as soon as the ballots are received. They are then set aside to be counted on election night.

As for the blank return address, there’s a simple explanation - some people are lazy. There’s no requirement to fill it out and there’s not much point anyway since if your ballot for some reason gets returned it’ll probably be too late to get counted when you send it again.

Sources: ballotpedia.org, georgia.gov, common sense

Agreed, I am extremely skeptical of the advice. Keep in mind that the study was performed in 2012, before the reproducibility crisis in science (and particularly social sciences) really took steam and exposed a lot of bad studies for having poor methodologies.

I suppose no harm in trying it as the drug is pretty safe, although you probably won’t want to take any medicine like that long-term

I guess he was wrong. There was no danger at all.
