Obviously, this isn't targeted at anyone who wouldn't be able to vote. If you wouldn't be able to take off work (or doing so would mean the difference between affording necessities and not affording necessities), or if your state prohibits you from voting or whatnot, this isn't aimed at you. This is aimed at those who *can* vote, but *refuse*.

To refuse to vote for any democrat who isn't as far left as Sanders (say, Biden), is to passively condone a large amount of the deaths that will occur should Trump win reelection with a republican majority in both houses. Yes, work outside the fucking system, but if you can't be assed to take that one day to vote (assuming you'll be able to do so), your indifference to electoral politics is a part of the cause for many of the deaths that will result. Harm reduction, people. Use it.

proposal: constructions such as "45 out of 10" or "-8 out of 10" do not merely represent hyperbole, but a reimagining of the scale from 0 to 10 as the scale of normalcy instead of the scale of possibility
instead of asking, "how cool is this compared to the coolest theoretically possible thing?", such phrasings ask, "how cool is this compared to what one would expect if something was supposed to be cool?" and express how far beyond that threshold the thing goes
Also by this logic: if someone gets a full-ride scholarship for, say, comp sci, then why are they not prohibited from creating a profitable startup and taking VC money?
"They get a full-ride to $good_school, that's payment enough"
Only the greatest of the greatest players get full-ride scholarships. The majority of 60 or so people on a college football team pay for their own schooling.
Re: Runes (Anglo-saxon)
In case you're curious as to what it says...I mean, one, if you have the spoons, learn anglo-saxon runes! They're fun! And learning any form of runes allows us to take them back from the nazis!
But, if you don't have the spoons or must know right now, it says "Runes belong to the people, nazi scum!"
Any of y'all know what's going on with this resistor? Brown black gold gold black is a bit unusual. From what I've found I'm pretty sure it's a 1 ohm resistor (±5%), but I'm unsure about that last black band. From what I've found, it's either the temp. coefficient, the reliability, or it's telling me it's a wirewound resistor. Given this is a generic 5V power supply, I *think* it's the last one, but can anyone confirm?
