Our microbrewery boom was like over a decade ago now

Thank you Jimmy Carter.

However, for its time TOS effects were often really good. People expected the typical B-movie styles but got believable visuals.

That was after Helene. Is an exact amount really necessary when it's obvious places and people are GONE?

Trade Florida for North Carolina and She for He. Oh, hi, Mark! (Robinson)

Only he didn't try to block it, he just didn't bother voting because he doesn't give a shit about his state's people.

At least they have a proper baseline and aren't cropping to exaggerate the results.

That's my superpower. Everyone goes to voicemail.

The polls can be accurate or not, what matters is the actual votes. And the mention of Bannon is a reminder that they will try to capture power in any way possible. The latest openly admitted plan is to plant voting areas with people who question voters' authenticity, slowing and discouraging voting. New techniques, same idea. It doesn't have to become violent to be a silent takeover. Hell, it happened in 2000.

I love this because even though I read the words, I interpreted it to mean something else for a second. (atoms and galaxy) Be careful when you read things and don't assume you know something.

Vote first of course. Repeatedly remind my various reps that RCV is important for the future and to support current bills or get new ones started. Election reform during off years is probably more important since that's when no one is thinking about it and yet it's when changing it will affect the next term.

Wish me luck, my state is NC. Just getting enough democrat reps is difficult enough.

I didn't clarify. I was talking about Jill Stein. She has a lot of promises on her website.

I think that's a Congressional thing, not a President one. But I'm sure she's promising it. Correct me if it's something that a President can declare as an executive order, but that wasn't my impression.

Btw, I think the way to get RCV federally is to make it statewide, and that's started already, plus there's a bill in Congress for the second time.

It bugs out for some if I don't include it. That's the fediverse for you.

Protesting, public pressure in other ways, pressure through other representatives in Congress. Also the same to try and get the voting system changed so minority parties can have more effect, bending the major ones to have to talk about issues that for now are easy to avoid (the both sides, even if that's not entirely true). Another factor is lobbying, that needs to be restricted so large entities like corporations can't basically buy loyalty.

I would point out that any vote, even for Stein, is unconditional, so there's no way to avoid that. To make politicians keep their policy the public has to be engaged past the election.

Even if all of that is debatable, my main point is that a vote for Stein won't get any change. One of the two choices that can win the election has some chance, even if small. Whether that be from citizen pressure or them getting the power of office and doing things themselves.

Wouldn't removal of the data effect on the model require a basic retraining? A bit too late for all the open source ones out there.

Voting for Stein in a FPTP voting system doesn't solve the problem that's been turned into a one issue campaign slogan. Even if she was the perfect candidate. The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election, and out of those two choices, suddenly who to vote for is obvious. If it wasn't already.

has some solid info not only on the current data and what to expect, but WHY these things can happen.

It requires several conditions to happen, but like you said a warming climate makes those conditions more probable. So many people online seem to be surprised at Milton's growth, but anyone around when Andrew turned from a tropical storm into a monster out of nowhere knows it can happen even in better times. When I first learned of Milton's initial formation and then also saw the Gulf waters were at record heat levels, it doesn't take much to expect the next steps. Let's hope that jet stream dips faster than the models are saying so it hurts Milton earlier than expected before landfall.

Like your grandparents.

"before they acknowledge there's a problem" would be the better phrasing.

I changed it to the National Archive version, a better choice.
