So...the Judean People's Front (Reorganized)?

And of course, I think a lot of folks take denomination swaps more seriously than my grandfather (who basically said my parents traded up to Episcopal - something that left me seriously ill at ease - when I became Catholic, to try and dissuade me), making that quite awkward.

I think an autocorrect bug switched "religious" to "religions". Hope my meaning was/is clear.

If there aren't substantial hardware improvements, the proper timeline for a PS6 is "never". At least then you're less likely to be forced off of older games due to hardware lockout.

It matters...to a point. It's only to a point, though...just ask Sen. Jamie Harrison (D-SC) ;-)

Worth noting - turnout was equal to like 5% of registered voters. Wasn't even a normal referendum...

Something similar happened in New Zealand a while back - 57% may, in principle, want a different flag but if 20% of those who want a different flag end up disliking the top design(s) enough to prefer the current flag to each of those designs...

IOW even ranked-choice might have resulted in this.

Phrasing unclear. Is the Canadian government filing to issue USD-denominated bonds (which it sounds like) or to sell US government debt that it holds (which people are reading it as)?

I question the predictability Putin, but that has more to do with a shift over the pandemic. I don't think 2010s Putin would have let himself get into the UA fiasco.

[To be clear, my analysis is that Putin/UR's numbers shit a brick over pension reform and someone panicked after the 2021 elections.]

When I was in college, the ROTC folks did this to the student body.

Impressively? There was no reply-all mayhem, but all student government campaigns for the next few years had a great pre-built contact list!

The "must win a majority of counties" rule sounds like the old GA Unit Rule, which was struck down a LONG time ago.

So, I'm not sure that I buy this. Per the study, these folks think that:

27% are Muslim
30% are Jewish
33% are Atheists
41% are Catholic

That adds up to 131%. I get that folks aren't great at math, but wow.

NGL, this feels more like some of the Strategic Vision nonsense from a decade or two back.

"Rich in iron."

3, if you can pair it with some freshly dug-up mammoth meat?

Does that mean you're Orthodox?

Traditional conrunning incompetence is another option: "Oh, I'm sorry, the key guy who had all the data had to go iron his dog at the worst possible moment, no we couldn't let you know before now, it is the last possible moment, and he is /very/ busy. So sorry, and good luck fixing this!"

Also, that's across the top 15, right? As you indicated, there's usually another 20+% "scattered" (e.g. bullet noms for folks who got one or two votes).

Is that what you need to be paid to take the job on? Or just the tools you need to get control?
