I agree with everything you wrote. Many countries have election holidays plus mandatory voting. That seems to work reasonably well, though you'd need to allow for people who can't get off of work that day.
One of my neighbors has one. The neighborhood boys all run past it to play with his son, but while they've mentioned it I didn't think they appreciate it yet!
Yeah, it's a thorny issue.
Do those really work? I hate pilled clothes.
Huh. Thanks
I'm always astonished when I see people add lighting to a figure/scene by piling on lighter and lighter colors. It's mind-blowing to me how artists can figure out how to fake light with colors!
Pretty uncharitable, though I can empathize.
I'm barely competent at programming. What is the use case for Fortran, besides maintaining ancient code?
Hot damn, that sounds like great news! Even if your back can't manage it much of the day, having some of your mobility back is huge!
