If Steve only knew that his vote was just 1% of all that was needed to switch his entire congressional district.
“Aloha” … read the sign on the door … right above the other sign that said “This house is protected by my gun and the Good Lord.”

Election Day is tomorrow but National Day Calendar doesn’t record that, instead highlighting
- National Sax Day and
- National Nachos Day
A pity they couldn’t include the election … I have a feeling it is the only way some people will know it’s happening.

Taxi Leaks: Is The Tide Finally Turning Against Uber?
”After the two day hearing, Dinah Rose Uber’s defence council was filmed getting into a black Taxi. Obviously she isn’t stupid enough to put her own safety into the hands of one of Uber’s drivers.
30 Million Early Ballots Have Been Cast for Midterm Elections
”Forecasters aren’t predicting that overall turnout this year will hit 2016 levels (137.5 million; more than 60 percent of the electorate), but Democratic and Republican analysts, along with independent political scientists, say turnout could approach 50 percent, levels not seen for a midterm since the turbulent 1960s.
Which … as I have written about before was actually the highest mid term turnout ever.
Seriously, if less than half of the country can’t even be bothered to vote … the silence will speak volumes.

We are all responsible. All of us.
That is so cool … Pratchet lives on.

my thanks to @gapingvoid for the quote and the image. As usual - so very spot on.
Here’s an idea - don’t vote … be isolated and uninvolved in what is happening around you … and then at least you too can say - without any doubt:
“I am a microcosm of America.”

Thinking about that usb c change on ipads and impact on iOS devices in (say) 2 yrs.
You have a phone. When you need ‘pc mode’, slide it into a “screen/keyboard/mouse/trackpad ’station’ “ and away you go.
The stations are low cost. ‘Joe Public’ only needs one device.
Thoughts?
