I think the intent here is to make sure army vets understand voting for the trumpet is not in their best interest.

As someone who comes from a country where we do require photo ID for voting, not requiring one feels absurd, so I asked the same question. Apparently in the US, there is a part of the population that doesn't normally get photo ID and that part is mostly poor people and minorities and photo ID laws are used as means of disenfranchisement, similar to having the voting days during business days (when many people can't come to vote) or having voting stations far away in an area with limited public transport options.

Where I live in Finland, the police will actually grant you a temporary photo ID only for voting if you don't have one, although most people have passports. There are early voting stations in basically every post office for a week and the main voting day is always on a Sunday. No excuse to miss voting.

I've only missed one voting during my life, at a time when I was living in another country and there was no consulate in the part of the country I was in. Nowadays there's also the option of mail-in voting when outside the country, I don't know if it wasn't a thing back then or I just didn't know.

That's not to say I didn't want some improvements in our system: I'd like to see ranked choice voting or something similar here, there are some smaller parties I've been voting and it seems they seldom have a chance.

I feel like there are some missed opportunities

  • Sensors that don't work because a proprietary driver is missing
  • Having to add repositories to get wifi working
  • Voice assistant that only works if you know terminal command parameters by heart
  • More tool windows
  • More xorg.conf to get displays working
  • A flame war about the relative benefits of obscure infrastructure componemts
  • 7 package managers, 3 if which are needed to install 90% of needed software. The remaining 10% somehow still needs to be installed via shell scripts
  • Completely new UI in each version, still looks like it was designed by german ocelots in the 90s

Technically yes, but in practice the goal is to make the practical arrangements implementing of Article 5 security quarantees possible. There is not much use of NATO support, if alliance forces can't operate in Finland in a practical way.

I am sure there are new operational agreements of similar nature will be made between Finland and Sweden as well as Finland and Estonia. That said, there is already a significant degree of defence cooperation between Finland and Sweden.

Finland is also already part of the british led JEF, and I would be surprised if the Nato framework would not change the nature of that cooperation.

This shirt stuff sometimes happens in Finland too, in spite of the majority of the population speaking English. A major supermarket chain was selling a child sized t-shirt with the print:

Pop my 🍒

Fucking really...

You should all go file a complaint with a data protection agency.

The thread in the linked social network suggests concentrating the complaints to the Irish DPC: https://forms.dataprotection.ie/contact

It does, and it's old, but it's still a good story.

Onko pieni lasku varainsiirtoveroihin hyvä tapa elvyttää rakennusalaa? Onko ensiasunnon verotuksen kiristäminen hyvä tapa korvata vähentyvää verokertymää?

Lithium batteries are happiest between 20 and 80% state of charge. You should not store them outside of that range. Charging a little often also doesn't hurt your battery like many seem to believe.

Charging while cold is bad, but storing in cold is good.

Also, NiMh and NiCd batteries are different tha Lithium based ones. Check what type of battery you have. Phones and EVs are almost always lithium though.

There may be challenges involved in controlling the shape, location and number of regrown teeth.

To what extent..?
