    What would an acceptable rate of void ballots in an election? Is it zero? I think that would almost impossible to achieve. In this election, the amount of void ballots was 0.02%. Why didn't they just remove the 11 void ballots and then have new vote totals?

    @Axtremus That is an interesting article. Maybe closer to Johor Baru would have maybe allowed people to make an easy transit to Singapore. Another problem is that it is in a jungle climate. Without maintenance and usage regularly, everything will start to get overgrown.

    I sort of touched on this the other day - but with different players, perhaps. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/post/252518

    Probably the most perfect example ever of a win win.

    Speaking of repeating songs, how about Figgi Pudding, Partridge in a Pear Tree, and Feliz Navidad. Can't stand those songs.

    @jon-nyc said in At the Dorm: @LuFins-Dad said in At the Dorm: The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, “which charges state residents $11,332 in undergraduate tuition a year, No, UT of Knoxville charges $28K in-state tuition. I don’t like when an article starts with an easily verifiable fact that is proven wrong. But it is Student Journalism, I am willing to keep going… He’s right, for 23-24 year. [image: 1701874281766-img_0608.jpeg] In an article that is entirely about campus housing, you include the campus housing costs in the tuition. Frankly, the tuition cost is irrelevant to the article anyway, strictly the housing is what the discussion is about.

    @89th said in Possible Fraud?: It's the only reason I go in to a UPS Store... amazon returns. And I appreciate it. Target has some other return policies parents may want to know about. Such as the children's clothing brand "Cat & Jack" I believe you can return any item of clothing for up to a year, no matter the condition (literally, it can be full of mud and holes) and they'll give you a refund. Wow! That’s great! If only they didn’t turn your kids gay!

    One of the criticisms of Newsom is that he simply made stuff up, or outright lied when confronted. Interesting chart: [image: 1701871705268-image.jpeg]

    Hard to judge this in retrospect without the lens of BLM but I don’t see murder here at all. Perhaps a lesser charge, perhaps inevitably because of drugs, perhaps just a firing, who knows… I do know that he wouldn’t have been found guilty of murder had Floyd’s melanin levels been lower (aka a white person).
