The early primary states were specifically changed to states where Bidens poll numbers were strongest. And yes, the early primary winners carry that momentum into states where they might be less popular. They didn't have to change the primary order, but chose to, to help Biden.

Wait. I thought is was a federal tax system. Does it do state taxes also? I missed that.

How can we know there were no strong candidates, when they don't get a real chance to run? They (and to be fair, most) simply assumed the incumbent was the best, because that's the way its been forever.

The party literally refused to hold any primary debates, or even primary elections in several states. They gave people no chance to even consider other candates.

Just be careful you're not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

FPTP is absolutely the worst. Anything else is a massive improvement.

It doesn't usually much more than, "I'm not going to talk about that."
After repeating that a few times, when people ask or talk about something too personal, they'll give up.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

We have a FlixBrewhouse in town.
You can get a real meal, great picture and sound.
Its the only theater I go to any more.
They show old movies as well as new. (Just saw Field of Dreams with my dad on Fathers day.)

The place is packed every weekend, no mater what's showing. You have to think past the screen, seats, and sound; You can make a great experience people will show up for.

That's the other way of saying the same thing.

If you're going to wait to fix climate change, until after you've replaced capitalism first. You might as well work on taraforming Mars and sending billions of people on rockets instead.

Firefox regular does that. There's a setting to clear history on close. Then it adds a quit button to the menu. You can pick how much is deleted. History, cookies and anything else.

You're not alone.

On a good large screen, 1080p is a noticeable upgrade from 720p.
But the distance you'd have to sit at, to get much out of 2160p over 1080p, is just way too close.
However the High Dynamic Range that comes with 4K formats and releases IS a big difference.

On the other hand, storage is pretty cheep. A couple cents per GB really.
But you're talking more about bandwidth, which can be expensive.

But yeah. You're not alone.
