I associate the word “straphanger” with tabloid media. They have some words that they really like. It doesn’t really even make sense for NYC Because the subway doesn’t have straps.

I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.

Great article, thank you for sharing.
But he lives in NYC (Staten Island). It’s his own local government.
Sometimes I wish that I didn’t have a corporeal body. It would be better to just be a mind.
It is doable for many young professionals who work office jobs out of college, do not have dependents, and live with a roommate for a few years while getting established in their careers, finding a spouse, and then moving out to the suburbs.
This is just about possible in NYC if you 1) work in a high-rise by a station 2) commute during peak times with frequent trains 3) live in a high-rise by a station.
For example: Downtown Brooklyn or Exchange Place high-rise <=> WTC.
The other option would be to live within walking distance. A <20 minute walking distance to a downtown or midtown office is reasonable.
I haven’t tried this, but if you just need the parent to call waitpid on the child’s pid then you should be able to do that by attaching to the process via gdb, breaking, and then manually invoking waitpid and continuing.
<joke> Perhaps <internet high five /> is a self-closing html5 tag and they omitted the slash as allowed by the spec </joke>
In one episode of GameChanger, the host mentions a few others that they weren’t aware of when the intro text was written: Taskmaster (which is awesome) and Ellen’s Game of Games.
Oh, the non-citizen voting stuff. Yeah, that’s kinda weird. It does seem like every instance so far has been for local or specifically school-board elections. Ballotpedia has a comprehensive article on it: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States
I think my personal viewpoint is as follows:
It is probably reasonable for legal resident aliens who have lived in a school district for 30 days and who have a child in the public school system to vote in school board elections.
I don’t know what to think about legal resident aliens being able to vote in local municipal elections. I live in NYC (which attempted to enable this option, but it was struck down in court as violating the state constitution) and this would significantly alter the voting landscape of the city. I’ll have to think about it more.
I don’t think that undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in any elections.
I don’t think that legal or undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in state elections.
And of course the right to vote in federal elections has been explicitly reserved to US citizens by congress.
I did some research into this out of curiosity. It turns out that the 30 day requirement for local and state elections was decided by the Supreme Court in Dunn v. Blumstein (1972) as an application of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment, on the basis that states already allowed long-time residents to register to vote up to 30 days before an election and that restricting new residents from doing so was arbitrary.
That seems like pretty solid precedent and I would expect that this rule will never change, barring exceptional Supreme Court shenanigans.

My poodle knows how to tap the homepad with his nose to play music. He gets up to it, taps it, and then curls down beneath it to listen. It’s very cute and definitely intentional on his part.
