Republicans asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to block a judicial decision from Pennsylvania requiring the counting of provisional ballots cast by voters who make mistakes on their mail-in ballots, potentially affecting thousands of votes in the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Washington state has property tax. We do not, however, have income tax.

Paper towels are able to absorb water because of cellulose's natural gaps and spaces:

Most bacteria are about 1 micron, and these gaps range from around 1-10 microns.

Especially if damp, it can be argued that they don't stop the transfer of bacteria. It's possible that your bacteria transfers through it and vice versa. This is all before the fact that paper towels can already harbor bacteria on their own.

That being said, paper towels do block some. You just shouldn't think of them as sterile or a magic blocker for bacteria.

It's the definition of a protest vote.

I have bad news, most (?) paper towels, toilet paper, and even the toilet seat covers are microscopically transparent, meaning there are plenty of gaps for microbes to get through.

Nate Silver's polls are barely (if at all) trustworthy, his personal opinion is absolutely not trustworthy.

Polls and pollster opinions do not win elections, votes do.

I mean, if you took what I said as a personal attack I don't know what else to say. Are you sure it's me that needs to get a grip?

Most of Amazon's revenue comes from AWS (a tech company), therefore Amazon is appropriately called a tech company.

What a dumb hill to die on. Are you anti-labor or something? This will affect all of amazon, and AWS is one of the largest tech companies out there. If you don't want this post on your feed, I invite you to hide it or block OP. The votes clearly show the community doesn't agree with you and that they don't mind this on their feed.

You do know about AWS, right?? This applies to them too.
