I wouldn't say Makers Mark is the top of the market, but if you don't like all those, you don't like Bourbon.
I'm not a big whiskey drinker. Irish when I go there. Occasional Bowmores scotch, which is a really different single malt, tastes a little like the sea smells, in a good way.
Keep a bottle of 'Old Grandad' on hand, inexpensive and decent enough for my Bourbon drinking friends and associates. Also good on beef.
An old, high quality tool can be work hardened and surprise you.
Unless you owned it since it was new, you can't know if some moron used a regular socket on an impact and it's now ready to shatter. There are usually marks but not always.
I just try to keep my safety glasses on when wrenching. Own a couple of decent ones.
If it goes to guns, it is over before it begins. One side has been actively demonizing gun owners for decades.
It will remain political. Much of this election's bitterness is just children getting their first taste of defeat. They will double down on stupid (e.g. Sanders) but nothing else will change.
It would be really terrible if someone put a GPS tracker on one of those buses. Terrible, if it showed the bus going from polling place to polling place with no stops in between.
We used to use your method. It was _completely_ compromised. LBJ kept a picture on his wall of himself as a young man (and his cohorts) standing around a ballot box smiling. It was his first stolen election.
The solution is open counting, clear ballot boxes (to avoid pre stuffed boxes) and thumb marking ink. Same as in the third world.
America went the other way. There is no technology solution so now we're faced with a 'balance of cheating' situation. Neither major political party wants any serious investigation.
Note: Unless your country uses the above precautions, your elections are worth fuckall in terms of reliability.
Places that don't use see through ballot boxes. So voters don't know there are already 1000 ballots in the box at start of voting.
Places that don't mark voters thumbs. So voters can register and vote multiple times.
Places that don't check voter IDs. So ineligible voters can register and vote, often many times.
Places that accept ballot boxes 'found' in the trunks of partisan 'election observers' cars, after the partisan knew exactly how many votes were needed.
Democrats can run their primaries in any why they choose.
But they take federal money for the primaries...funny how federal money comes with strings for every college in the nation, but for political parties it's fine to take the money and still appoint as many delegates as they want.
My dad actually has an obsolete mass spec in his garage.
Anybody want it? IIRC it's from about 1990.
He would love for it to go to a good home but I'm pretty sure it's just junk. Bad era for capacitors, plus years in the damp. In Missouri. I know, not craigslist...
Carbon dating has been done on snooty booze (300 year old cognac, 80 year old 'single barrel' scotch etc). It's ALL BULLSHIT. Every brand tested was a fraction (and not 7/8ths) of the claimed age.
Should the government protect rich morons from overpaying for oak barrel flavored booze? The stuff they get is going to taste much better than the genuine thing would have. Can you imagine 300 year old barrel aged booze? Nothing but oak. (truth for me: VS Grand Cru ++good, VSOP has too much barrel. XO blech.)
Going to start a trade war with the French if you start carbon dating all Cognac. They'll start carbon dating Bourbon.
Slashdot Mirror
The FEC matches the first $250 of any contributions during the primary campaign AND completely pays for the nominating conventions.

Just the convention funding is enough to bring many strings for any other group besides political parties.

Because lidocaine is a topical anesthetic, you can feel the effect.
The electoral college electors are known and there is not a secret ballot.
These are party bigwigs who have their lives invested in their position. If they vote 'wrong' they are 'independants' the next day.

It's not nearly as out of whack in the physical sciences and engineering.
Of course they know to keep their mouths shut about it on campus, less the torches and pitchforks come out in the *studies building.

You could just thumb mark every voter with ink. Keep them down to one vote each.
There isn't really a good substitute. We should accept our elections are just as subject to fraud as any third world nations.
Clear ballot boxes are needed too. Long history of box stuffing in the USA (and the rest of the world).
Right now we have a balance of cheating situation. Neither side really wants anybody looking too close.

If the election officials are crooked, they just feed the machine a stack of ballots right at the start of the day.
It's worse with paper ballots than scantron, at least with scantron they have to wait for the clock to start before they can start stuffing boxes.
You're missing a bunch of ways to cheat:
Places that don't use see through ballot boxes. So voters don't know there are already 1000 ballots in the box at start of voting.
Places that don't mark voters thumbs. So voters can register and vote multiple times.
Places that don't check voter IDs. So ineligible voters can register and vote, often many times.

Barrels are about 150 proof.
How much carbon is there in water?
If you have man breasts, you're going to have to continue swallowing your own.
How do you get the plant to grow containing lidocaine?
You should always assume every tool will break and protect yourself accordingly.
No tool company will be able to replace your eye.

Every liquor store is (knowingly/w willful ignorance) selling booze with false claims of age on the label.
It's just accepted that '12 years aged' means a small % is 12 years aged. Abracadabra, no problem.
I bought some. Was looking for sunburn lotion with lidocaine. All they had was Aloe Vera with lidocaine.
It's Aloe Vera content was, more or less, irrelevant to me.
Served it's purpose.
What's your limit?

Wednesday had all the good lines.
Considering his opponent was 'authoritarian kleptocrat' it's a win.
Hoping he's just waiting out Obama. Preempt the pardon with half truths.
The 'swallowing semen prevents breast cancer' on CNN was an epic high point of fake news.
