I used that so much when I was creating purchase orders. Nobody needs to know how I got to that page.

I've got some that pulls the picture from Bing and the picture from NASA and set them to my wall paper and lock screen back grounds.

I've got another one that silences my phone when I'm at work or church and not connected to my car blue tooth. I used something similar in college to silence my phone when a calendar event was happening. My phone never made a peep during a lecture! It resets volumes to normal levels after the silent period is done.

I used tasker to slowly ramp up my bedroom lights before my alarm goes off. Makes it easier to get up and not as jaring.

Not from a bar directly, but on the walk back from the bars. I picked up a brick paver. They had just finished laying everything down in the courtyard of a new building and there was 1 brick sitting there. I looked for spot to drop that brick into close by, but I didn't see a spot. So I carried it home!

My fluids professor told us about that when someone asked why do we have wood on the material roughness tables. No one believed him so he brought in a small section of a wood pipe he took from a construction site.

I logged into mine a month or 2 ago and realized I was still in tutorial island. I had totally forgotten where I left my character! It was a fantastic experience to go through the F2P quests and leveling again.

I was actually on the fence between that one and the non f for a lower power server build. Something that would finally put my 7700k to rest.

They gave up on that plan. Defining Plank's constant happened first. It could still be done as a secondary confirmation, but it's less of a race now to get away from K

Manheim Steamroller put out a Summer Song album that has some great rain sounds with relaxing music.

I've been very happy with a couple of indexers that I have paid for. I haven't needed to really jump into the invite only world. There really is A LOT of content available easily. I'm sure more niche content might need more select access, but for me I haven't gotten there. There was one Charlie Brown I have on VHS that took forever to find a better copy of, but I did eventually get a better version.

That's because California (like the majority of other states) assigns all of their EC votes to the winner of the popular vote within state. Only Nebraska and Maine split their delegates right now.

The popular vote compact is not in effect yet. They don't have the 270 votes needed to do it. The last sentence of the first paragraph in the Wikipedia article you linked to says so.

Oh shit there are! Wow! /s

If one of them could get to the 5% popular vote...yada yada. Yeah I know. 2016 was the closest they got in a long time. I voted 3rd party then because I'm in a deeply red state so it wasn't a throw away vote or preventing the Dems from winning. They didn't get there. I'm am very convinced at this point you must fix the voting system before 3rd parties have any viability. FPTP is outdated at this point and the added layer of the EC is doing more harm than good now. It was a good idea for a different time, but today is different and the system should evolve. RCV/IRV has shown very clear benefits to enable more than 2 options to be viable on a ballot.
