The DNC didn't select them, those picks won the primaries. The voters picked them.

It looks like someone turned the saturation up.

You usually put a duvet cover on them, so the actual color of the blanket doesn't matter.

Yes, it is a thing in the US. People do it mostly to avoid filing taxes with the US when they don't plan on ever living here. It's rather expensive and time consuming. You have to pay a big fee ($2350 + any unpaid taxes) to do it and set up an appointment with the embassy/consulate.

Runoffs generally happen when no candidate gets a majority (> 50%) of the vote. This shouldn't happen if there are only 2 candidates in the race.

When looking for media online, you pretty much just need a good adblocker and the sense not to run any random executables.

The media files themselves are very unlikely to have malware attached. They would need to exploit a bug in the specific video player you are using and then exploit another bug in your OS to get admin privileges before doing any real damage. It's pretty much just theoretical. Keep your stuff up to date and don't worry about it.

Wow. And here I was thinking Elmer's glue was named after the Borden cartoon cow. It's nice knowing you can learn history like this from Lemmy comments.

Newer generations have decoders/encoders for more codecs. 8th gen Intel Core cpus have good HEVC support while you need the more recent gens for good AV1 support.

The exploit needed admin privileges to work, so it seems like Microsoft viewed it as low priority.

I just think it needs a bit more if it only hits nonland. The other versions of Ulamog are 10/10 Indestructibles that provide a lot of value when they attack, even if chumped or if their cast trigger never went off.

Excluding lands opens up lots of opportunities for your opponent to just exile it before you ever get a chance to attack with it. The 10/10 body doesn't have trample and is even counterable. If your opponent manages to draw creatures, they can stall until they draw a real answer.

Tinder isn't verifying it. It's just a joke.
