Wanted to duplicate my items in D2 (I was young). Instead the file I was instructed to try made me drop all of my items. Jokes on them though, my gear was trash at the time.

Or you load the whole body into your passenger seat and drive it over there. Bonus points that this approach lets you use the carpool lane.

Hawaii:

Early voting: Cast your ballot at any voter service center in your county from Monday, July 29, through Saturday, Aug. 10.

Voting at the polls: Hawai‘i votes mostly by mail, but some voter service centers are open on Election Day for walk-in voting and same-day registration.

Washington:

In person: You can vote in person starting 18 days before an election and up until 8 p.m. on Election Day. Find your voting center by logging into VoteWA.gov or by contacting your county elections office. If you’re already registered, you don’t need to provide an ID.

On Election Day: You can register to vote in person at your county’s election office up until 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Oregon (this one was trickier to find, but actually quite helpful):

Homeless U.S. Citizens Have a Right to Vote

Voters must provide a residence address on the voter registration form, but this address may be any definable location in the county that describes their physical location. This could be a shelter, park, motor home, or other identifiable location. The mailing address of a person who is homeless or who resides where mail service is unavailable can be the office of the county clerk. Voters can pick up their ballot at the county elections office.​

Utah:

Early in-person voting: Available in all counties for the primary. Check with your county clerk’s office for dates and times.

Voting at the polls: Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bring an acceptable ID.

Colorado:

Early in-person voting: If you prefer to vote in person, you can visit a voter service and polling center in your county to cast your ballot from Monday, Oct. 21 through Election Day.

Voting at the polls: Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Bring an acceptable ID, such as a valid Colorado driver’s license or Colorado ID.

As someone from a first past the post country, can you explain how party members are decided in proportional representation? Are you voting for specific individuals or a party? How does it work if there's a party whose platform you support, but perhaps individuals you do not like?

Is the party's slate of potential representatives pre-decided in order of voter preference in some sort of primary before the election, then they just go down the list in order to fill seats once they know how many seats they get in the general election?

I actually manually hash every letter I receive using a rotating cypher kept in a secure vault. Always rough when the letters include images... Had to invest in a storage unit for the pixel-by-pixel encryption of last year's Christmas cards.

Honestly I don't know, but it seems to me like extracting every single frame of a video as a lossless PNG is only really something that's necessary if you're trying to archive something or do frame by frame restoration. Either way, it is something that you hopefully aren't doing every day, so why not just let it run overnight & move on?

Otherwise ask yourself if you can settle with just extracting a single clip/section, or what's actually wrong with lossy jpeg with a low -qscale:v (high quality) - start around 5 and work down until you visually can't see any difference

That's the thing, it doesn't have to happen. It has to catch enough headlines that Shell can say:

"As part of our environmental commitments we plan to sell only carbon neutral methane by 2040"

Then they proceed to do nothing in the "hopes" that this becomes cost effective in time, while continuing to invest in natural gas infrastructure, and while we continue to investing in using their "soon to be neutral" fuel.

Finally, when 2035 or so rolls around they quietly shift the goal posts and we keep on letting them pollute.

And if you're wondering why this sounds familiar...

https://www.carbonbrief.org/shell-abandons-2035-emissions-target-and-weakens-2030-goal/

All getting hyped about CCS or "renewable" "drop-in replacements" for fossil fuels does is further entrench fossil fuel companies as the "center" of our carbon commitments, while they are 100% disincentivized to act.

Unless this tech is paired with a $1000/tonne carbon tax, its a scapegoat.

If it can be done cheaper this way...

That "if" is doing a lot lot of heavy lifting, and exactly the excuse a lot of fossil fuel companies and municipalities will use for inaction.

Just to be clear, renewable energy credits are different than carbon offsets, and easier to guarantee because they're often tied directly to a metered renewable energy source.

That said, there are still junk RECs on the market, like those tied to energy that was produced up to 2 decades ago that nobody got around to claiming / retiring. Or RECs tied to energy sources that may have happened regardless of the REC sale.

This is great in theory, but all it really does is give us a reason to cling onto a dirty, leaky natural gas grid. Much like CCS, this technology allows fossil fuel producers to continue business as usual under the promise of one day maybe sortof going green, and if this system leaks much more than ~1%, its not actually "carbon neutral" in useful human timescales, because its converting CO2 into something 50-100x more impactful on the climate
