Hybrid voter here: I enjoy the convenience of filling out the absentee ballot at home, then drop it off personally at an early voting location. A poll worker checks for signature/etc. then I can see them putting the envelope into the box.
Yes, plan accordingly as a reader, AND as a poster!
I do the same, even put up with some that are a little annoying. I find it interesting to see what the entire community is doing.
'Not sure there’s a way to easily measure, just asking for rough estimates.

A bobcat. It casually sauntered through the neigborhood and hung out at a local park. I watched it for about five minutes from about 30 feet away.
If you like eagles, visit Sitka Alaska. They’re as common as pigeons up there.
(Just bigger, and scarier. Have you seen their claws?)
I was going to mention my worst birthday, but it pales in comparison to this. I hope you’re better now.
Yeah, the Democratic party really showed us how they think about positive change when they blocked Bernie. We’re seeing the same dysfunction with how Harris has softened her position on a number of issues. That party machine mainly thinks of itself.

PS: I went on to canvas for Bernie. He won the primary in California!
Get in the habit of getting into habits. My high school chemistry teacher turned me onto this. Make a point of doing something every day for a while and soon it will become hard NOT to do it.
The first time camping with my girlfriend. We drove 25 miles down a dirt road to get to the campsite but found it was full. (We hadn’t realized that it was opening day of hunting season.) So we drove 25 miles back and started looking for a hotel. No luck after multiple tries. It was getting dark and we were tired.
The surprise? We still got along just great! Even with the setbacks we took it easy on each other and still found humor. Eventually we found a hotel room, then the next day a beautiful campsite.
So I married her.
“The Good Place” - you bet your fudging life!
I can’t drive 55.
Wow, that seems like a very useful approach. Yeah it’s a bit manipulative, but in a kind way. Thanks for sharing this, and the back story!
Same here come to think about it. That’s weird too.
Thanks for writing this up, it’s very interesting!
Adding to these good suggestions: shop at thrift stores.
And if you have time: volunteer at a thrift store.
Yeah, it makes it sound like the trees are getting together because they’re planning something - improving the world maybe.
Not at the moment, but in the past couple of days, I’ve also experienced loading issues. I’m in the US - could the lag be caused by the hop across the pond?
