True, much like memes are pretty famously fabricated.
Civ IV was peak Civ for me. The changes made going into V just didn’t feel like Civ.
Yes, that includes the loss of doomstacks.
Tennessee is somewhat of an outlier, as its other major cities skew red, though at least in part artificially so. Nashville, for example, is part of three different districts now, the 5th, 6th, and 7th. It’s been lost to gerrymandering. Knoxville, in the 2nd, and Chattanooga in the 3rd are heavily Republican cities.
The 4th contains conservative-leaning private universities and suburbs of Nashville and Chattanooga.
The 9th District, colloquially “Memphis” in my previous statement, is the only district in the state that currently has a significantly strong Democratic voter base. If anything, it became even more blue after the 2023 re-districting moved part of East Memphis to the already conservative 8th district.
Of the districts other than Memphis, the 5th, which can be thought of as the ghost of Nashville, is the closest to even resembling purple; even so, it has a CVPI of R+9.
Take away Memphis and see how much the hue of Tennessee shifts towards 0°.
Wouldn’t it work better in that case? The implication being that if you weren’t the only tall person, then staff wouldn’t be so short without you.
In the headline, “pledging to ‘murder’ shoplifters” is a restrictive participial phrase modifying “texts.” Restrictive elements are not offset by commas.

But did you know
That when it snows
My eyes become violet
And light that you shine
Can be seen?
No.
You can’t do that.
If premeditation was a requirement, 2nd degree murder would not exist.
Premeditation isn’t required for murder charges.
Malice aforethought is.
Point of fact, I’m not bobs_monkey, the originator of the rhetorical tone. Fax in healthcare continues to survive well past its prime because there is an inherent loophole: analog data transfer is functionally unsuited to encryption. This allows fax to be operated at a “best effort” level of security. There are handling protocols that are meant to keep traditional fax transmissions as private as possible, but these are layer 8 processes with limited enforceability. Beyond that, traditional fax represents a pathway around requirements on encryption while still meeting HIPAA compliance standards.
FOIP is an improvement, but it still allows for interoperability with a traditional fax machine connected to a POTS line in some GP’s office that they’re unwilling to part with. That means the FOIP user can only be confident of the transmission being secure on their side. I can’t speak to the overall adaptation of FOIP in hospital systems, but I do know that there are non-isolated instances of hospitals still relying on traditional fax as opposed to adopting a cloud-fax solution. Hell, there are still major hospitals using SL-100s as their primary phone switches.
I don’t even want to get into codec mismatches, because that falls out of scope when it comes to a privacy discussion.
Long story short, achieving HIPAA compliance is a low bar with regards to fax, and if that were to change I believe we’d see fax disappear (finally!) shortly thereafter.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but the fax loophole does need to be closed.
That’s just a “best by” date. You can still eat it, though it might taste a bit stale.
Couldn’t agree more. They used the form provided to them. Withholding ballot access based on a technicality smacks of disenfranchisement.
Likely not. She’d have been of age by the time she took office. It’s very slightly nebulous, but it’s more in line with precedent that she is already eligible. For further details, see Joe Biden’s initial term in Congress. He was 29 when he campaigned and was elected in the November 7th, 1972 election. He turned 30 on November 20th, making him of age when he took office in January of 1973.
AOC will turn 35 before the election even takes place, which suggests that she has even more of a claim to eligibility than Biden would have in '72. It’s all moot now, as the DNC (probably wisely, from the look of things now) chose to make the easier transition to the sitting VP as their candidate. There were several advantages to this strategy, but that’s a different discussion.
