If you remember navigating with a compass and map, GPS is goddamned magical.

I haven't finished listening, but I assume everything went well for the privateers.
It's not because people kept printing their emails 40" wide on the plotter? TIL.
Well first off, through ~~God~~ Linux, all things are possible. You can have multiple hard links to a file, where a given hard link is deleted, but you can still manipulate the file through any other other links. Alternately, you can open a file, and while you have a valid open file descriptor, delete the file. The file descriptor is still valid until you close the file though, so you can still save (thus move) it to a new location.
Windows locks files when you open them, preventing these kinds of shenanigans.
Was that voat? That one was initially promising, then almost immediately went to shit as all the worst people from reddit went there.
In addition, good elections have a couple more properties. They should be understandable by the average voter. Paper ballots work well for this (esp. in FFTP jurisdictions). Online voting makes it really hard for even experts to completely understand the system, and impossible outside of a tiny number of experts to verify.
Second, elections are a social activity, and should feel like it. Anything that make an election feel like we're all getting together to select our leadership, rather than an adversarial process should be encouraged. Online anything these days seems to be optimizing for max animosity. A counterexample might be the Australian democracy sausages.
Anyone with less capabilities of a medium sized nation-state will not be able to "just smash" an AWS datacenter.
It's a very traditional Japanese measurement. They use a 1982 Honda Trail 110.
Everything everywhere was surveyed in imperial measurements. As a surveyor in a previous career, metric was the best thing that could have happened. Maps in imperial scales are miserable.
Scribus has really good PDF support. It's a full desktop publishing program (like InDesign), so it might not be the best for quick conversions. It does a really good job of PDF forms though.
And future me? What has that guy ever done for me? Fuck that guy too.
A1 has a direct drive extruder. It does function as kind of a hybrid thing with the AMS though. Use of the AMS with TPU isn't recommended, but there are a couple of harder TPU filaments that supposedly work.
