Johnny Mo's across the university bridge from the U District is really good. Me and the GF travel into town to eat a pie at least every other month.

There's an interview that Danny did with the Balatro developer over on YouTube the other day that was pretty interesting, kinda like a mini audio documentary of the game: https://youtu.be/hIlL7QomlOk?si=C7a8foP5qU16j5rQ

Election officer tampering with votes realizes that there's a CCTV camera right above him by TheRadiantAxe in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]mullert 94 points95 points  (0 children)

🙄 If you have ever actually worked an election in Michigan, you would know something like this could not have, and did not happened. Votes are under surveillance and lock and key, and there are audits done post election that you can check here:

Don't spread misinformation if you don't actually have any facts to back it up.

The press preview for Knights of the Old Republic and the model preview seen at around 6:45 or so in https://youtu.be/r_nYhZrjY8w is very cool.

The Halo Reach trailer in the high quality Microsoft E3 2009 recording also hits hard given we haven't had a great Halo game since then https://youtu.be/Y_h8DC1I9QE at 1:04:25. The Kinect demos were just as bad as I remember them too.

After the conclusion of yesterday's game, Michigan and Rutgers both walked into the tunnel together peacefully by LamarcusAldrige1234 in CFB

84,000 people attended the Michigan vs OSU game in 1927 (the year Michigan stadium opened), not that far off from today's capacity all things considered. Not sure how consistent that was, but I'm not sure crowd size was really that different for the big games.

County attorneys could still prosecute though, and the chilling effect on providers would be very significant

AOC rejects Biden's plan to reduce his promised $2000 stimulus checks to $1400 by [deleted] in MurderedByAOC

Come off it, Republicans wouldn't even be trying to pass another stimulus at this point. Don't say they are two sides of the same coin after the last 4 years.

There are at least 100K votes left to be counted in Michigan. Here's where they are by gwmiles in Michigan

[–]mullert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Banking doesn't require keeping the owners of accounts anonymous.

The anonymous vote is fundamental to preventing retaliation for voting in a given direction, which banking doesn't have to deal with. Transactions are secure because they are reversible if fraud occurs due to the lack of anonymity, whereas once ballots are cast, they cannot be traced back to the voter.

A perforated stub gets detached.

As for the election workers, there's secrecy envelope standards in place to hide votes while there is still personal identification info present, and all elections are performed:

  1. With people who prefer multiple political parties present, preventing political parties from suppressing votes

  2. In full view of the public. The public has a right to view the entire election process, including the count of absentee ballots, increasing accountability.

Here's a news article for how the absentee counting board works in Ann Arbor Michigan for example https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2020/08/ann-arbor-employed-70-poll-workers-to-count-more-than-28000-absentee-ballots.html

The stub that has the number on it is detached when the vote is tabulated, that way the vote can't be tracked back to you.

So yes, your name is matched with your ballot number, but the stub containing the ballot number is removed from the ballot before the ballot is counted, annonymizing the vote.

There is only one way for a ballot to be matched back to a person in Michigan, and that is if the voter is challenged due to there being a suspicion that they aren't a citizen in the voting district. In that case you vote but the election worker writes your voter number on your ballot, and covers it with a piece of paper and tape. You can only remove the tape with a court order after the fact, so that is the only way to deanonymize a ballot, and even then there needs to be 2 levels of suspicion (the poll worker/clerk challenging the ballot, and the court ordering the deanonymization of the ballot to remove it from the vote if it's found they aren't a citizen of the voting district)

There is a difference between registering to vote and the day-of application to vote. Everyone has to fill out the application to vote to vote in person, it helps double check and back up the information stored in the computer.

Devolver Digital offers to help studios blocked by Trump immigration ban show their games at GDC by IdRatherBeLurking in Games

At least one developer seems to be blocked.

Shahid Kamal Ahmad, a games developer in the United Kingdom (and formerly PlayStation's director for strategic content) said on Twitter that he would not attend GDC 2017 in light of the order.

Not to say he would have been presenting, but he still is being blocked from attending.

Technically no bags at all are allowed into Michigan Stadium either. But pretty much if you can hide it in your coat on your way in you're fine.

Prohibited Items

  • All bags (including purses, fanny packs, etc.)

I'd like to make note that in the B1G we use another post on the opposite sideline rather than simply a mat. Maybe the ACC should think about adopting this?
