That was the era of gamergate and sad puppies, so it is unfortunately a pretty straight line.

An interesting quirk of this election is that we were actively warned away from mailing in our ballots by the elections department because of USPS procedural changes & the shutdown. So the day-of dropbox % is *way* higher. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Officials urge WA voters to use drop boxes for Nov. 4 election
Some Washington counties noticed during the August primary that ballots weren’t always postmarked the same day carriers picked them up.

Had two cuts for a knee repair. Not even two years later and you can't tell at all, not even the faintest hint of a scar. It's wild.

Watching him get more conservative while the rest of the league became very aggressive has been fascinating. He used to go for 2 all the time in the early 2010s, now he's the king of surrender punts.

I don't understand why the signs don't mention the next major station. The highway signs for I-90E don't say Boston despite that being the terminus. I've had so many people ask me which side was the right one to get downtown or to the airport.

It's been a weird game.

Sound Transit has had portals this entire time? They're really holding out on us.

I'm trying to think of what this could mean, and I'm only arriving at adding dailys and a premium cosmetics shop.

Enron's fraud was keeping negatives off the balance sheets through arrangements with third parties to only technically change the owner of those negatives while the negatives were also sold as financial instruments by the third party.

Which sounds a heck of a lot like what's going on here.

What's the difference between this and what Enron did?

Anywhere in the NFC East. Each would be funny for its own reason.

Depends on which culture. Japanese curry is a don't mix. The rest? Either mix or over rice.
