Everyone has a unique identifier. If you don't share that with anyone, how would they know who's vote it is? Couldn't the number be randomized and a new UUID provided on a routine basis?

Every American has a Social Security number, but it's not exactly like we're told to broadcast it to the world...... I don't see why something like that couldn't be implemented here using technology.

My point is the general ledger technology of the blockchain which would be beneficial here.

But of course this is all a pipe dream. America is damn near a Kleptocracy and both political parties have written laws to prevent a third political party from ever arising.

I'd love to see that happen, But it's because America won't switch to a direct democracy. Instead we have a Kleptocracy run by corporations and the 1% who have power over both parties in America. However if it were possible to create a third political party where every member of the party earns only one vote maybe it would give people power back over corporations. But it's a pipe dream, I know it'll never happen.

I personally envision a future where we use blockchain technology to create a new direct democracy party in which every member has a unique identifier and the blockchain ledger system used to track polling data. Every individual member of the party would have one vote in each poll at ever level (federal, state, regional, etc) - for every single thing that gets a vote, and the elected politician representing that party would be required to vote based on the polling data.

Everyone would have access to a copy of the ledger to confirm their votes are counted accurately, and they can review polling data to confirm their elected politicians are voting based on polling data, and the representative would be replaced if they do not adhere to the results

Yeah, I certainly won't use any product associated with that muskrat.

Someone else recently explained it best: It's elderly abuse.

The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

It's a Weekend At Bernie's movie plot, but with extra steps.

That's what we need to do more often - mock these chuckfucks. Don't get angry/irritated because that's what they want, just point and laugh at them.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you that it's a bullshit reason - but I can bet that some penny pincher accountant working at McDonalds proved the company could save $X million (single digit lol) if they did this change. Never forget how a dude working for American Airlines in the 1980's figured out that removing one olive from each salad in first class would save over $40k per year.

The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

Friend of mine lives within walking distance of the gas station where he was just spotted. She's on lockdown, helicopters flying overhead, schools are closed for the day, etc

Dang, that stinks - I actually enjoy the steering mechanics in this game. It's the only mobile game I have played in many many years because it's easy to play a race or two and put the game away.

 

I'll be honest, I've always tinkered with ubuntu and even older versions of linux (Anyone remember Mandrake? Yeah I'm old lol), I had even built my own HTPC at one point many many years ago.

But I always encountered problems that frustrated me forcing me to eventually abandon the OS in favor of something new. For example, installing programs or drivers that weren't in the software manager GUI, checking USB and device connections, etc.

I was a windows guy and I hate to admit it. It was just "easier" so I usually took the path of least resistance to getting things working efficiently for my productivity needs.

But ChatGPT has really unlocked things for my novice self.

Everything from simple questions to fun ones. Like I had an SD card showing as empty, but I thought it had been formatted, so I asked ChatGPT how to recover lost data on the card, and it walked me through every step - I recovered a ton of data off that card.

I just installed Linux Mint on an older Lenovo laptop and it's awesome to have a fast portable laptop again.

I'm excited to dual-boot my older HP Envy AIO computer in the near future, windows 10 has become too buggy for my tastes lately.

A few weeks ago, while my wife was enjoying some dance music in our backyard using a Bluetooth speaker and playing random "summer" playlists on Spotify, As I walked down to say hi, I overheard a dance/trance track that had an incredibly sensual and euphoric vibe where a woman was breathlessly climaxing in an orgasmic way, blending with a captivating dance/trance beat in the background.

Regrettably, I only caught the last 20 seconds of the song before I managed to grab the phone and glimpse what appeared to be Armin Van Buuren listed as one of the artists. Unfortunately, I didn't save a screenshot or note the song's title.

The song was truly enticing, and I believe my wife would enjoy it on other occasions as well (if you catch my drift, lol). However, she was too far from the speaker and didn't hear that specific song. Therefore, I'm on a mission to locate it once again, but my efforts have been in vain so far.

So, I'm reaching out to see if anyone out there is familiar with any dance tracks that feature solely a woman breathlessly climaxing into the microphone, without any other vocals? I know it's quite random and amusing, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Edit, it appears motorhorst was correct - it sounds like it was a remix of French Kiss by Lil Louis

 
 

I would use this site a heck of a lot more if I actually saw when people replied to one of my "article" posts. But right now my notifications sit empty unless I tag a user or they tag me.

That's very frustrating. I find myself using Squabbles more often for chat just because at least their notifications are working correctly.

Has this issue been fixed and it's just a bug on my side, or do I need to enable something?
