If she gets only 630,000 more votes than Biden, she will have beaten Trump's votes in 2020. That's less than 5% of the registered voters in 2020.

Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1 and then one final day on Nov 5. If you vote early, there wont be a line! Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week and final day of voting. Check voter registration status, polling locations, hours, Election Dates, and more at

Technically 53% of eligible people cast a vote in 2020, which was 66% of registered voters.

The difference between a red and blue TX in 2020 was less than 5% of registered voters going to the polls for Biden.

Polls will be open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. If you procrastinate and go on the last day, there will be a line. If you go during the first 2 weeks of voting, there will be a 10 minute wait tops historically speaking. Polls will be open at leat 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours during the second week and final day of voting (typically 7AM-7PM, though times will vary). Check your voter registration status, eligibility for ballot by mail, Election Dates, polling locations and hours (might not be up until October), and more at this site.

Even TX needed only 5% more registered voters to go blue in 2016 and even less than that in 2020. Every vote counts!

Polls in TX open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day of voting on Nov 5. Polls are open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours during the second week and final day of voting (typically 7AM-7PM during weekdays, though polling stations may differ)

It's probably because they can remember how convenient and cheaper it was to see any movie or show that could be streamed. Streaming was supposed to disrupt TV by eliminating ads and allowing you to choose whatever you want to watch. Nowadays, in order to get the same amount of choices, you need to spend about as much as you did for a TV subscription and now many platforms have ads.

I think it's more a frustration at what we lost than anything else.

It's largely the same system. You can play as the Greeks, Norse, or Egyptians. Each civilization has the choice of 3 major gods (is Zeus, Hades, or Poseidon) that choice is kinda like choosing your civilization in AoE. Instead of going feudal age to castle age, you choose a different minor god to worship. Each god gives you a different god power and mythological unit (Cyclops, trolls, anubites, etc). The final civilization upgrade allows you to build a building that unleashes a titan on the map.

There is a new currency called favor that is used to research some improvements unlocked by worshiping specific gods and to train mythological units.

The types of games are largely the same as AoE, with different maps. The campaigns are a lot of fun. It's a great game, especially if you like mythology. The stories are original and not based on the original myths, but you can learn some of the myths of heroes, mythical creatures, and the gods by right-clicking on them. The campaigns walk you through how to play and through the features that are different from AoE.

You can choose varying difficulty for the scenarios and can choose the difficulty of the computer players when playing a random map. This makes it about as complex as Age of Empires. However, just as with online AoE, the player vs player can have a steep learning curve if you're matched against people that have been playing a long time.

Age of Empires and Age of Mythology play similarly, where it's easy to cross from one to the other with many similar human units shared between the games. I think it's definitely worth a look into! Even the remake that's already on steam is worth it in my opinion.

Oh yes, popcorn is really bad for gas. Growing up, our dog got a few pieces off the floor and stank up the living room.

Thanks for the clarification! It's hard to keep track of all the chaos since he entered politics.

But he wasn't president yet. How can immunity from prosecution for official acts while President cover crimes that were committed before being elected to office?

In the US, it's extremely rare to have a light switch outside if yhe room with the light. Usually there's a lights witch and a couple sockets in the bathroom by the mirror.

With an organized, armed attack on the Capitol in 2021 and hints at another one after this election, we can't afford to have a republican as the runner up to POTUS.

The Constitution is clear that keep their position in good behavior. The vast majority of people can see that accepting bribes is bad behavior. The question is who goes about removing justices? IIRC that isn't specifically laid out.

In TX not only have they added highway, but many new highways are Toll roads. Somehow the city councils get duped with a presentation that building another lane on the highway won't help, but building two in the name of a private company will.

They don't even take care of the toll roads as well as the public roads either.
