  • He is running.

    As far as I know he’s not on the Colorado ballot, which is largely inconsequential to the overall race.

    Yes he’s having a million charges, but those funny disqualify him from running. The only charge that would is treason, which he hasn’t been charged with, but that’s being used to to keep Trump off some states Ballots.

    Candidates are formally nominated at each party’s convention in July and August, but usually who they nominate is known in March/April.

    Republicans were trying to get other candidates to run last year, but no single candidate has yet proven to be as popular with Republican voters as Trump has. Not even close. The Republican race is now between two candidates, Donald Trump and Niki Haley. Trump is still far and away the leader.

    Remember when thinking about US political systems as a non-US person, the US is much more similar to the EU than it is to any single member within the EU. Each US State has its own unique primary election process where they elect representatives to go to the national convention to choose candidates.

    I have no data to back this up, but I seem to find that regions at Northern latitudes tend to have higher rates of alcoholism. I think it has something to do with long winter nights and people being able to find a sense of community in a pub/bar/Ratskeller after the sun goes down at 16:00 for half the year.

    The US is much further south than most of Europe AND there are large regions that are very anti-alcohol due to religious reasons.




  • I go for a variation of this if a coworker leaves their computer unlocked when they leave for lunch or the day.

    Screenshot their whole desktop, hide all icons and the toolbar. Set the background to the screenshot. Boom a computer that looks exactly the same as before but doesn’t work.

    Quick, non permanent, takes a few minutes to work out, lesson learned to not leave your machine unlocked.
