I'm not actually trying to argue one way or the other, but

No, the cart always has to be voters. Actually showing up to the polls has to be the cart. Anything before that is nonsense.

You're literally putting the cart before everything else, including the horse. Work on your metaphors a little.

Wouldn't you know it, there's a wikipedia article for that. I personally have used 7digital and bandcamp, but qobuz has been mentioned several times in other comments and hdtracks seems like it might work after you create an account.

The tangent of all points along the line equal that line

In the United States, a straw purchaser of a firearm at a federally licensed firearm dealership who lies about the identity of the ultimate possessor of the gun can be charged with making false statements on a federal Firearms Transaction Record, which is a felony. Note that in this case, purchasing the item for another person is ipso facto illegal, regardless of that person's status as a legal possessor.

from Wikipedia

I guess if you're buying up a lot of guns with the intent to resell/distribute them, that would count as straw purchasing.

Honestly, paying for a (primarily) multiplayer game isn't a problem for me. I actually might prefer it when you look at Overwatch vs Overwatch 2. But I wasn't about to sign up for a playstation account to play my Steam game.

Even if it's a joke, how wrong are you?

But new research points to a striking pattern: Higher premiums are being charged in states where regulators apply less scrutiny to requests for rate increases, compared with states where officials question the justifications offered by companies and try to keep rates low, the data show.

Not what I was expecting to read, but not that surprising either.

What, like the pinned post on the smyths reddit page?

You don't understand why there's so much fear, uncertainty, and doubt about an on-by-default program that records everything you do? Are you being serious right now?

Even if I ignore you moving the goalposts, would you really look at a graph like this

that's a few years out of date and assume the total deaths settled back down into the old pattern?

I'm not finding a more up-to-date data source for deaths per month, but it's not like you're providing any kind of data that covid isn't still killing a lot of extra people per year.

I think that's the point: that a state-owned operation wouldn't brick their own products because they're afraid of losing money
