This same fungal infection causes the males to have sex until their butts fall off, so I'm pretty sure some humans would seek it out.

So what you've demonstrated is that a fraction of less than 1 percent of voters registering in a few states MAY be non-citizens, a number so small it's barely a rounding error, and that of that small number of people it seems we catch most of them long before they vote. I do not understand why this issue seems worth the effort you're putting into it.

I'll concede then that it does and has happened. However, I still think you're going too far by claiming there's no consequences while literally linking to attempted convictions.

I'm not the person you responded to and I've moved no goalposts. I'm pointing out that you're misrepresenting reality to make your point. I'm in a state (Georgia) that gives you the option to register to vote when getting or renewing your license. On the form it is simply a checkbox. This seems like a clearly abusable system if you do as you have, which is to look at the surface level of the situation and cry foul, but the underlying reality is different.

In order to get my license I was required to provide documentation of my citizenship (in my case an original birth certificate) as well as evidence of my current address (in my case a utility bill). This underlying evidence is what is used to control my voter registration and prove I'm eligible to vote. Car registration is supposed to be tied to your home address and is handled by parts of the local government that share information, so being given an option to update an address for voting purposes when updating registration makes sense to me. I am not aware of if that is possible on my state. While I do not personally have experience with obtaining a license while not being a citizen and resident of my state, I know that whatever process exists for that doesn't also allow you to register to vote.

If you'd like one I'll give you a goalpost. Prove me wrong and show me a single state where a non-citizen can register to vote, go to a polling place and vote, and then have that vote counted.

You're making it out like states that don't require a photo ID at the time of filling in a ballot have zero checks on the identity of a voter. I only looked at a few, notably California since you have brought it up, and that is not the case. The identity verification happens during registration and then again under certain conditions.

Even if an undocumented person went to vote in California they'd have to use a provisional ballot and that would of course be checked and rejected.

You just have a bad trackball. My Kensington Expert glides smooth.

Do you go to restaurants and complain there is food there? This is a place for linux memes.

The health benefits are overblown and the evidence is largely from flawed studies. While not as debilitating as clitoris circumcision, it's still genital mutilation and it's regularly done in the US for no good reason beyond cultural pressure.

How would you handle detangling a mistaken git merge of two branches to create the Tuvix branch? Kill that branch and clone down the originals or let them stay merged?

I've used my location history to remember names of places I went to over a year ago, addresses I was given and expected to write down but forgot, confirm for myself I actually went and did something that I couldn't recall fully...

It's great for someone with a shite memory.

You'll need a slit or other small opening at the top aimed up and might want the hemispheres to have overlapping edges. The very small seam between the spheres is what projected the AoE kill zone in the original design. In this case that would mostly hit dirt.
