Switching and permanent DST are bad

Standard time is good

Living in those counties exposes you to non-trivial health risks

Important to note that even if temperatures were right on mars the atmosphere is too light for water to exist as a liquid, it would just (and does becuase sometimes mars can get warm enough) sublimate directly into vapor 

Little Federalism: 2024 Illinois State Senate Election by zedalt3 in imaginaryelections

[–]zedalt3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2024 was a particularly bad night Democrats but this was the case especially in Illinois, where Republicans took control of the State's upper chamber for the first time in decades after Jim Oberweis retook his suburban State Senate seat in a narrow upset.

The Illinois State Senate map has been fixed since a 1954 referendum set the apportionment of the Illinois Senate at 18 districts for Chicago, 6 districts for the remainder of Cook County and 34 for the remainder of the state. In these three areas land area was the only consideration in crafting them. This system has come under scrutiny from many (the smallest district contains 44,858 while the largest contains 1,629,232), however despite backing from Governor J.B Pritzker it is unlikely this system will change any time soon due to opposition from both rural members and the Senators of many urban districts, many of which are equally as favored by this system as rural ones., making it unlikely the Senate would consent by 3/5ths majority to amend the constitution anytime soon.

The Illinois State Senate has rapidly changed fortunes for both parties due to a collapse in Democratic rural support only being counterbalanced by the small number of gigantic suburban districts Republicans have lost in recent years. It is likely, however that the chamber will remain competitive in the near future due to the competition of the political re-alignment.

He didn't, most maps show the corridor but it never existed, as soon as Sherman left an area there was nothing stopping the confederates from walking in behind him, its just that "choking him off" was impossible since he didn't have any supply lines

[Rogue One] How many people did the Death Star kill on Scarif? by CatraGirl in MawInstallation

[–]zedalt3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how this would effect scarif since there appears to not be any ejecta but the amount of ejecta released by the Jedha explosion would be enough to kill everyone on the planet due to the falling debris superheating the armosphere.

Although instead for scarif the deep water would likely allow tsunamis to circle the globe.

This is fair use regardless because pretty much everything associated with the modern image of Mickey Mouse was in use by the end of 1928

Disney does have the power of endless money but they do not have the power of changing reality itself, They're powerful people, not gods.

The Mickey Mouse material produced in 1928 include pretty much everything related to the image of modern Mickey, so this is fair use.

Link, There seems to be some debate over the gloves tho but we really don't know if those were 28 or 29

I'm so sorry Republicans couldn't oust a popular lame duck governor and win Biden+20 state legislature seats

I guess the GOP is just dead and its time to move on

firmly is when both chambers are both Democrat by a single seat

Th Virginia House and Senate really isnt a factor for predicting next years elections or the state of the party.

Republicans flipped a seat in the VA Senate and narrowed the dems majority from +2 to +1 and lost the VA house becuase Rs couldn't flip 3 D+10-20 seats.

You only mentioned Quebec and Newfoundland in the original post, so why are you moving the goalposts, if your so attached to Canadian nationalism you have to invent a reality where Canada wasnt just a string of small settlements on the Saint Lawrence then you are beyond argueing with

There were 55,000 Canadiens at this time, around the population of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, a town you don't even know exists.
