We really don't do that here, because we skip the rehab part almost entirely because it's bad for the profit margins of private prisons.

You misunderstand the dynamic. Most GOP voters are going to vote and are going to vote for the Republican, regardless of how awful that Republican is. Voting is a civic duty and party above all are kinda core ideas for them.

Dem voters are a lot more flighty in general. Any barrier to voting no matter how small (even having to rise from the couch) impacts Dem voters more than GOP ones.

There are more Dem voters than GOP ones except maybe in very red states. It's about turnout - US voter turnout is God awful and it's worse among Dems than GOP.

That's why the debate was so bad for the Dems, because it's not about whether or not it pulls voters to Trump but about what it does to Dem turnout.

it would be nice if the democrats fucking tried.

They think they don't have to, they just have to keep you scared enough of the GOP that you'll vote for them out of terror. It's how Biden won the first time, after all.

I’m just going to assume bolts of lightning and Usain Bolt are off the table.

The only thing I know about the procedure for tightening Usain Bolt is that I am not part of performing it.

Want to reduce the rushing and door kicking? Take your design cues from AD&D modules S1 and S6. Aka the Tomb of Horrors and the Labyrinth of Madness. Especially the Labyrinth of Madness.

I mean, he's not going to have black tea anyways as it won't have been prepared correctly.

I thought they had on several occasions dropped games from the store because they had DRM. Which DRM titles does GOG still have?

Last game I paid good money for was on GOG. Everything added to my steam account in the last few years has either been part of a humble bundle or a freebie from somewhere.

No, not at all. There is a single coherent timeline. The world as it exists now is the final total of all time travel that will ever be going to have occurred to points before now.

You could try to go back and kill Hitler, but we already know you failed.

Which US politicians typically attend the inauguration of the Mexican President? I'm genuinely curious, it's not something I've ever paid attention to and which US politicians attend it isn't usually something that gets news coverage here.

They don't need to die - you could just blind them essentially the same way.

H1B skilled worker visas. You have to prove that you tried to hire locally and couldn't find anyone qualified. The whole point is that the qualifications are impossible, so you are either under qualified or lying. Since no qualified candidate exists, you can bring someone over from overseas and hold the risk of being deported if you fire them over their heads - and you suddenly get less thorough about checking qualifications for your immigrant candidates.

Islet cells are the insulin secreting cells in the pancreas. This literally sounds like the general idea is that if you don't have sufficient insulin production to cover the load your body is under, solving it by engineering new islet cells from your own tissues (so as to avoid rejection) and then implanting them.

Basically, if your pancreas isn't strong enough to do the job, then just add more pancreas until it is.
