The threat this time is that the USPS won't deliver your ballot to you in the first place. You can't use a drop box if you don't have a ballot to drop. npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer @nprofile…ugpy One of my favorite buildings. npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer Proof of "life" npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer Someone should make a Jurassic Park satire in which Colonel Sanders has an island lair where he has been de-extinctifying giant flightless birds for fast food purposes. npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer El Chimera npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer Good morning. npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer Update: https://pix11.com/news/local-news/coffee-sold-in-ny-nj-recalled-for-botulism-risk-fda/ npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer @nprofile…r0x4 ....Brexiters were twice as likely to die? npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer I am a model, you know what I mean npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer Diarrhea jokes: always funny (if it's not you). npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer China's single time zone demonstrates that people will adapt to whatever numbers are on the clock. I mildly prefer year round Standard Time just because it's closer to Solar Time, but that's because of my niche interests. Most people do not care about that. They very much do care about not having to dick with clocks twice a year and suffer from stationary jet lag. Year round Standard Time, year round Daylight Time, world-wide GMT - all would be fine.
