- Comment on Jimmy Carter Casts His Ballot for Harris in Georgia 5 weeks ago:
This is out of curiosity but if someone casts a absentee ballot and then dies before the vote is counted, does it still count?
On one hand I see “dead people shouldn’t vote” but on the other “he voted when he was alive and it was only counted when he was dead”?
I know this situation doesn’t normally come up but is there legal precedence?
To be clear I respect and Carter and hope he is still alive for quite some time but him being in hospice and voting brought the question to mind.

Yeah, ok but that means for it to be a adult bird or at least old enough to fly either 1. Young birds don’t have a soul. 2. His soul was in 2 bodies at the same time.

I don’t know about blue but here is all the math to turn a red light green… Don’t think of doing it though while you could probably get out of a ticket for running a red light I don’t even know what the fine is for driving many thousand times the speed limit is.

- Comment on So is the global IT crash fixed yet? 3 months ago:
Hold up… You thought maybe you downloaded malware (which in this case that was not the only cause) so you took it upon yourself to reinstall windows on a company issued laptop?
-
Why are you trying to fix it? Submit It ticket and it’s their problem.
-
If you suspect malware alert it security immediately. Many malware act as a gateway to lock other systems. Yes you might get in trouble but I’d rather be yelled at for downloading something then yelled at for infecting my company servers will ransomware/malware.
-
Atleast in my company a computer connecting without a company supplied image of windows will be denied. Completely understand you not connecting to the internet.
-
This problem was not caused by you but could of been… Take this as a lesson to be more proactive in the future.

Depends on where you live… Northeast us most likely a black bear, as long as its not a mother protecting its cubs make some noise and it will leave you alone. If your in the artic, how the hell are you in woods but ignoring that’s and it’s likely a polar bear and you are dead.
- Comment on Either way, I'm getting super drunk. 6 months ago:
Another fun similar idea is drunk chess. Each piece has a value(for example pawns is 1), there are tables you can look up it’s standard in chess. Each piece you take, you take its value in shots(highly recommend shots of beer). There are strategies this brings up. For example your opponent hangs a queen in early game, you can take it but now you would need to 6 shots making you likely to mess up the late game.

- Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) 7 months ago:
Long story short… Most of the money the company earned was from the credit union. I went through a depression phase and tried to kill myself (I’m doing better now) so I was inpatient in a mental ward for about a month.
The credit union got a computer security audit from the ncua(similar to fdic but for credit unions). My boss could not access any system. No servers, no firewalls, no intrusion detection systems, nothing. I had the passwords but was unable to be contacted and “documentation was a waste of time”.
They failed the audit. Credit union basically asked “we pay you for computer security, we failed an audit for computer security, so why do we pay you?”
Contract was lost and company went under shortly afterwards.

Ok, I’ll give my experience. I was hired as basically a paid intern. I was in high school, I “knew” computers like a nerdy teenager knows computers… Not real knowledge of their workings but I played with some programming(I got hello world to work using perl) , I could install linux(in the early 2000s, I bought copy of Debian Linux on 7 cds). I was basically told I would be an assistant to the other computer technician.
A week after I got hired, he got fired. For the next several months people got hired and fired after a 2-3 weeks. The company was 3 people, myself, the owner, his wife did the accounting. I didn’t know what I was doing, googling what I could to figure stuff out(i now know that’s normal but also now know how to Google correctly). I leaned on the owner to figure out things. I don’t know if your job is in computers but these are things I learned later were absolutely idiotic.

If a computer came in with a suspected virus, standard protocol was no research or investigation… Format and reinstall.
-
We had corporate clients (main client was a credit union), we gave the windows CD and license code to each teller with no record of what they were. He sold the license at the price he bought then for from staples.
-
All servers had local admin accounts. All local admin accounts had similar passwords. I was the only person who knew what those passwords were.
-
My boss thought time spent documenting was time wasted.
Anyways I stayed there for 4 years. It was not perfect and I learned so much wrong stuff. It was a decent job, my boss had really weird rules(why so many people got fired), and my time would of been spent better learning correct information.
That said I ended up causing the company to go bankrupt and the owner and his wife are now Christian consulers…

I am from the USA and I agree with the other poster that our Healthcare is crap. That said it annoying to see people bring stuff like that up in topics completely unrelated. Especially it’s not like we have a choice where we were born and most of us only have limited abilities to change Healthcare system through votes.
It would be like saying “what’s the u in colour for? U are never getting back your plundered treasures we stole?” to somebody in England asking about learning to paint.
