The fervor to make sure there's enough Jewish people in Israel to be sure the Jewish maintain power makes it a theocracy to me.
It would if there were some religious test, or direct control of the government by the church (synagogue?). There isn't, though. "Jewish" is as much a cultural identifier as a religious one, and the government is essentially secular, with Muslim and Christian politicians serving in public office.
As such, calling it a theocracy is just silly. Israelis aren't worried about trying to make sure that their country is governed by rabbis; they're worried about mass migration resulting in negative cultural changes. Any massive change in the demographics of a nation is going to have a significant impact on how that nation looks and functions.
If that's right, would they hold their overall charge capacity longer because people (I assume) keep them topped off and not routinely run them down to 0%?
You couldn't run them down to 0% if you wanted to; the software won't let you.
The exact percentages aren't publicised, but the onboard software likely only ever let's you charge up to maybe 85-90%, and discharge to 10-20%. If you actually could charge to 100% and discharge to 0% you would get a significant bump in range, but would also destroy the battery pack much faster.
I have an extended battery for my phone so I now do the same thing roughly; on a typical day I will limit the charge to 84% and discharge to maybe 30-40%. On days when I'm at home and not using it much I'll leave it plugged in and set to maintain the charge between 62 and 64 percent (pretty much the best range for battery health). After a year of doing this the capacity loss is significantly less than previous batteries I've had.
AFAIK pretty much every instance of that ever happening is just someone getting confused by a form.
Right, when the form said "are you a citizen" they just happened to get confused. Then they got even more confused, took the wrong bus, ended up at the polling booth instead of the local Walmart and, in their ongoing confusion, accidentally cast a ballot instead of buying a pair of shoes.
Then you need a completely different set of voter ID laws
Basically - no. We can test for a Santa Claus, since pretty much everything about the man says he physically manifests himself, slides down chimneys, and places presents under Christmas trees around the world.
Not my Santa. He's metaphysical. The presents get delivered but parents often take credit for them. Some other believers claim that Santa actually acts through the parents, guiding their actions; I do not agree with those heathens, though.
Now, how about a metaphysical higher power, that influences our emotions and impulses, who will only be seen after you are already dead?
If nobody sees him until after they're dead, then basically anyone who claims to know that he exists (let alone know anything about what he is like, or what he wants) is just making shit up.
No tangible interference in the physical domain to document, strictly an emotive, internal "nudge" - the source of conscience, for example? How do you test for that?
That's up to those claiming that it exists; in science we go with the null hypothesis. Why would you believe something which you not only have no evidence of, but also cannot ever find evidence of?
There are a near infinity of things which people can invent out of whole cloth and which you cannot test for. If your position is that we should believe everything until it is proven false then you are at best gullible. How exactly you've managed to convince yourself that "real scientists" have to believe things which they have no evidence of... that's truly mindboggling.
we get droughts followed by floods that kill crops. Global warming makes weather more extreme. You know this, you're just being flippant.
I don't know any such thing, and neither do you. At best you're repeating guesses made by other people. While warming will doubtless be disruptive to some areas, it's just as likely to be a net positive in other areas. Anyone who claims to know with certainty that the overall effect will be "droughts followed by floods" is selling fear rather than science.
I don't know. The ones we most commonly know about are the ones who registered as themselves but lied about being citizens. Those are, however, also the ones who are most likely to be caught (they're making it pretty easy) so we can't really draw any conclusions about whether that's actually the most common type.
Either way, all the various methods of voter fraud could be stymied by voter ID laws which verify both the identity and the citizenship status of the person who actually casts the ballot.
No. THey will whine to congress how unfair the free market is and immediately government intervention inverse socialism is needed to bring people in from Mexico as Visa employees as they can't find qualified employees etc.
No. They will pay more, adjust process accordingly, and you as the end customer will make up the difference.
Well there's your problem; you see everything in terms of minority-vs-majority rather than looking at the actions of the individuals involved. No wonder it doesn't make any sense to you; you're an SJW.
For you cannot prove the existence of Santa Claus one way or another, so thus the scientific method would require you acknowledge the possibility for existence of Santa Claus is equal to the probability there is not a Santa Claus.
I dislike the smell of Somali food. I don't hate people who cook it, and I don't hate people who eat it; I just want them to do it where I donthavr to smell it.
Of course you would. It could cost as much as 50,000 new F22 fighters and you would still pick the telescope. So why pretend it's an issue of cost rather than personal politics?
The organizers would occasionally be ratted out by their co-conspirators or people they tried to recruit.
Organisers? What organizers, you silly git? Do you and all the people you know need organizwes to get you to the polls? Or do you just mosey on over and cast a ballot?

I don't think that's how you're supposed to use the clip ...

Correct.
Even China spents more money to educate low graders than the US does. And that with a currency/value difference of 1 : 3.
Has there ever been a single discussion in which you didn't feel the need to just make up blatant nonsense?
why are there, depending on the measurement method, still between 1,2 and 1,6 billions of poor people
Mostly thanks to war and dysfunctional governments. See Syria and Venezuela.
You're welcome.
If you cuss in the interview without a good reason, that's probably a "no."
My ghetto cultural background includes constant cussing, you bigoted clod!
Don't forget that in the last Olympics a coin toss was considered racist because it didn't favor the right race.
I thought for sure that you were just making shit up, so I googled it. And laughed my ass off. Thanks.
Islamic nations overwhelmingly more likely to carry out lynchings: "you can't blame that on Islam, most Muslims are peaceful!"
A handful of Facebook posts are linked to some lynchings: "uhrmaghurd, Facebook is teh worst, someone needs to do something!"
When do we get to the "most Facebook users are peaceful" excuse?
Basically - no. We can test for a Santa Claus, since pretty much everything about the man says he physically manifests himself, slides down chimneys, and places presents under Christmas trees around the world.

Who the hell is talking about impersonating anyone?
Do you even know how voting works?
I do believe in rates of return, fighters offer zero
It's too bad you haven't actually studied it instead of just believing it. You could have avoided jumping to such absurd conclusions.
What matters is it's happening, it's going to impact the food supply
Awesome, I'm all for longer growing seasons. Especially after what this winter/spring have been like.
which will lead to global chaos, wars.
I'm not sure how greater food availably will lead to those things but, in case you haven't noticed, we already have chaos and war.

Science!

The people who make them not explode are almost invariably left-wingers because that's what you generally become when you're in maths and science.
Nonsense. You're just pulling that out of your ass.
And many of them were definitely and provably not nuts before the TLAs fucked with them.
So does the fact that you sound like a nutbag mean that the TLAs have fucked with you too?
I'd still take the telescope.
Of course you would. It could cost as much as 50,000 new F22 fighters and you would still pick the telescope. So why pretend it's an issue of cost rather than personal politics?

It's 100% accurate. Do some research you outspoken moron.
