I think that happens as soon as you start driving, and having to be somewhere on time (by driving)
As the saying goes, Steel wins battles, gold wins wars. That's why I'd bet on California.
Ohio here. The vast majority of nonvoters that I've met hold generally left-leaning viewpoints. If they were forced to vote, and did even the most basic research, they would overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
That said, I acknowledge that my experiences have a skewed demographic, and may not represent the population as a whole.
Music and right-wing politics are weird. I can't even begin to count how many bands were proudly anti-war in the 70s. Then there's the punk movement, which was highly critical of Reagan and Bush.
I guess music and a message of hope/protest works better than a message of oppression, especially when appealing to youth.
Many items are already packaged to protect them from damage in transit. If it's already in a box with Styrofoam inserts, there isn't as much value on wrapping it again.
That said, there are countless items at Amazon that are not protected like that. Amazon also won't pay their employees enough to care, nor give them the time to make any such decisions.

I can confirm that All on Sopuli is regularly inundated by suggestive (but usually not outright pornographic) anime pics. Most of these are the "Moe" communities, but there are a handful that specific to the franchise the characters are from.
I've always been partial to this version
YSK that Amnesty International just released a report about human rights in the battery supply chain. BYD was dead last.

Besides, as a practical matter, BYD is simply not available in many markets.
The most likely scenario is that both the presidency and vice presidency would be vacant. That means it would go to the speaker of the House, most likely to still be Mike Johnson.
But if Democrats have an unexpectedly good result, they could control the House and elect a new speaker. Similarly, Republicans could replace Johnson with someone else.
SuprNova was the big one for me. Everything else was either redundant (Like RARBG) or just faded away (like my Usenet sources). I didn't have any replacement lined up when SuprNova died.
I agree. That was an additional detail that I did not cover, as I wanted to keep it relatively simple. I expect that the anti-Netanyahu Jewish voters are unlikely to switch to voting Trump, given that the latter is firmly and openly pro-genocide.
What, specifically, did I say that you disagree with?
To be clear, at no point was I trying to justify any actions. My only goal was to explain the strategic path that would lead to it. And of course there are additional nuances, which I alluded to at the end.
Besides, a winning strategy is not an indicator of ethics.
It's a numbers game. There are WAY more Jewish people in the US than there are Arabs (~7.5 vs 3.5 million, according to a quick Google search).
Strategically, those Jewish voters are also more likely to switch to a Republican vote than the Arabs, regardless. It would take 2 Arabs (or any other Democratic voter) sitting out to counter a single Democratic voter switching to a Republican vote.
Granted, none of this accounts for voter locations (because only the 7 swing states matter), voter enthusiasm, claims of national security, or (most importantly of all) ethics.
The difference is that with Biden, it was something new and recent. Trump's been like that for decades at least. It's hard to say that it's because of his age, but that doesn't change the end result.
They both end at noon on January 20, 2025. In such a scenario, it is likely - but not guaranteed - that both would be vacant. At that point, it would go to the (new) speaker of the House
No. That's not how the system works at all.
Short of a violent coup, the president's term ends at noon on January 20, 2025. At that point, there is simply a vacancy in the presidency. It would then be filled according to the line of succession (VP, speaker of the House, etc)
Don't bother pleading not guilty unless you have an attorney. It grants you (your attorney) time to negotiate with prosecutors to plead guilty to a lesser charge or similar. But an expired license is about the lowest charge you can get.
Traffic court is very routine. People get up, hear the charge, mostly plead guilty/no contest, hear their sentence (usually a fine, probably under $200 depending), and get pointed to where they can pay. You negotiate payment terms at the later office.
It will help to show how you're going to address the original issue. Even just having an appointment at the DMV, which you can probably book online.
