Hey. Get that shit out of here. It shows a basic understanding of how our government is designed. Parading that kind of information about is offensive.
Liberal here. Willing to agree to voter ID laws under 3 conditions:
1. Election days are national holidays. 2. Same day registration everywhere. 3. The ID is 100% free.
None of these compromise the security you are looking for. However, no conservative will agree because they do prevent actual voters from being disenfranchised, which is actually what they want.
Prove me wrong.
I don't think #1 is necessary. Not when you can easily vote by mail. #2 would be chaos. The better approach is to cast a provisional ballot and then clear up your shit later if you care. #3 I agree. It should be free or cost a nominal fee that can be waived in certain cases.
Well... The article Brett Kavanaugh Ruled Against Workers When No One Else Did [huffingtonpost.com] cites several cases where Kavanaugh sides with corporations over the interests of workers, also noting:
Ah, so in several cases he didn't blindly side with workers? In several cases he may have been the lone voice of reason? How about you provide an actual example?
That article (and several others, below) also talk about a case where Kavanaugh sided with SeaWorld and against OSHA when a trainer was killed (and, apparently, eaten) by an orca -- basically asserting that "he knew the risks".
Sounds like a good ruling to me. No OSHA reg is going to keep you completely safe when working with wild animals, near water, etc.
It's just a fact you thought was relevant? Why did you think sex and race were relevant? Again, I don't have a problem with the appointments.
I'm merely pointing out the fact that YOU seem to have a problem with them, yet while you claim they're "anti-worker" you provide no evidence. The only facts you have, and the only things you actually have taken issue with, are "white", "male", "conservative", and being appointed in the needed numbers.
Getting into higher level classes, or certain major-required classes classes is a pain because they let too many students into the fucking school to begin with. They don't have enough space to hold classes for all the dumb, stupid GE shit for the incoming freshman, and that cascades to the classes that matter because they have to fight for the same physical space and time.
Even if you have a dedicated space for a stupid GE and a dedicated space for your engineering / whatever course, they'll pull the engineering course because of the scheduling conflict with the GE course. If your 300 student lecture hall has 50 engineering kids in it trying to pass the kidney stone of a pointless GE at 2 PM to 3 PM MWF, they won't be taking that 2 PM to 3 PM MWF class in the engineering building. And if you can't hold that 2 PM to 3 PM class, then the entire course is cancelled for the quarter/semester despite the other sessions being filled (with waiting lists) because you'd just have to offer it next quarter/semester anyway to handle the people who had to take that GE.
I had that shit happen to me the quarter I was graduating. A major elective I was taking was a 2 quarter course, and the second quarter's course was cancelled due to bullshit scheduling. Luckily, enough people bitched and the professor fought to get us a space for an early morning class. We had to scrap to find spaces for taking the final and presenting projects, including off campus, but the professor went out of his way to make the course happen.
Scheduling and space are two of the most difficult real problems colleges face. And it's all because they keep admitting more and more and more students who can't even read, write, or do basic math.
I, too, had to take classes in summer because I couldn't take the stupid GE classes any other time. I, too, had to fight to register for classes I needed for my major. I, too, had a job while I was a student.
If you think colleges are non-profit, or if you think their goal is education and not profit, you're a fool.
You posted it, so I'll take it up with you. You clearly thought that line was relevant. Why? Further, I don't have a general problem with the appointments. Why would I take anything up with anyone?
You're the one coming here bitching about shit, but all I see is racism and sexism and unjustified scaremongering.
$5 per month for unlimited sounds pretty good, actually.
I currently backup to a network drive and periodically sync that to an offline drive.
How long do they maintain backups? Can I store other things (not just their backups)? For example, can I use my current software and just point it at BlackBlaze?
Workers aren't always correct. Unions often become corrupt and bloated. Undocumented workers hurt citizens.
What, specifically, has Kavanaugh done that is bad? Being anti-union isn't inherently bad. I say that as someone who is supportive of people's right to collectively bargain.

We're the Slashdotqueers. You can be one too! 'Cause trolling on this site is the thing to do. Leaving and ignoring is not the way, Hear what Slash Ver Tisement has to say:
The university just demands a larger subsidy per included student if you exclude certain classes of students. When the state says the UC gets $X million in funding but only if they don't raise tuition, the UC raises tuition but calls it an administrative fee, not tuition. It's all bullshit and it needs to stop.
Believing crisis actors exist (they do), and that false flags exist (they do), doesn't mean you believe the event to have not happened. It doesn't mean you believe that innocent people weren't killed.
It merely means you believe it was planned and that the official story is bullshit.
Educating children and young adults was _always_ this expensive.
Bullshit. Costs have skyrocketed. You're saying government paying in keeps costs down. That's absurd. It just means a chunk of the cost is paid for by the government. The government doesn't magically erase that cost. The government has stepped back because NOT EVEN THE GOVERNMENT can justify the absurd spending increases.
More students. Lower standards for admission, graduation, and conferment. Less value to any degrees conferred. Increasing administration salaries. Increasing faculty salaries. Mainly flat staff salaries. Administration growth far outstripping student growth. Faculty and staff growth tracking fairly flat with student growth.
And they keep expanding and building new buildings in some very expensive real estate areas with tons of red tape for any sort of construction. It's so bad that in California, the University of California has focused almost entirely on out-of-state and foreign students, since they can charge them more tuition. The state said "Fuck you!" to that, finally, and now there's a cap in place with regards to the number of out-of-state and foreign students vs. in-state students. But the campuses with the highest ratio of foreign and out-of-state students are grandfathered in, so they don't ever have to reduce their ratio despite it being above the cap. Guess which campuses those are.
The UC argues that they need more money for each student. Faculty just got a 3 or 4% raise. Union staff got raises. Non union staff got raises.
If you give a school a dollar, they'll ask for a dollar fifty.
Our main role is to protect children and adolescents. It is a fundamental role of education
Your role is to educate. Protecting children is not your role. You've subsumed that role so you can take more control over the youth and further drive the wedge of state between families. You've assigned yourself as judge, jury, and executioner with regards to whether or not children need to be protected, what they need to be protected from, and how they will be protected from it. The 60s hippies were right about one thing - public schools are nothing more than statist indoctrination camps.
