Oregon here. Black or blue pen, in the comfort of your own home. Ballots get mailed out weeks ahead of time to everyone in the state, then you can pop them in the mail or bike over to the local library or wherever your closest dropbox is. Ranked choice voting for Portland for the first time this year, too.

"Life is what happens while you're making other plans," as they say. The future is important, but so is the now.

... she's proudly left leaning.

She's a billionaire. She's no more left leaning than Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. She just flies socially progressive flags.

I wouldn't think anti-collision systems would be feasible on a container ship: they're too big with too much inertia. It can take miles to slow to a stop or execute a turn. It's not like a car, where you can just hit the brakes and have immediate results. All that extra braking and re-accelarating would burn a bunch more fuel, too.

If you're pulling on a rope really hard, don't wrap it around your hand to get a better grip. If it starts to pull away from you, you won't be able to let go, and if someone runs up to help and starts hauling on the end, your hand is going to be in a world of pain.

It's not 2° C; that would be quite chilly. It's 2° C above the earlier average.

My largely uninformed opinion has always been that it's about monetization: you don't make the kind of money off ads on a blog that you can off a popular YouTube site. That, of course, is all Google's decision. Presumably advertisers are willing to pay a lot more for video ad placement than for banner ads or something.

I know time got weird with the pandemic, but that was not actually before 1990, believe it or not.

You only need to track the stuff with a GP cost; everything else your can use a focus for or assume it's in a component pouch of you don't use a focus. The GP cost items, yeah, I definitely track. Also the costs in time and ink (ie gold) for copying spells into your spellbook. My wizard of constantly broke, and the rest of the party have thousands of gold each.
