I think the counter-argument would be that your vote does not actually have any real impact anyway. It is merely an illusion that it will and one that keeps the current political parties in power.
Not that I agree with that but a I think what is posted here is not a particularly good argument for voting.
You do realize that the current political parties actually vote themselves tax money to fund their campaigns?

You do realize that the device you are likely posting from requires billion dollar chip foundries to manufacture?

This does not make a lot of sense. I think I would verify that it really is the same xpub by looking at the starting and ending characters, not just scanning.
I suppose they could be using different derivation paths. That will change the addresses.

Rob, what happened here?

Just had a look at the latest Presidential race polling. It seems the two candidates are within the margin of error in most of the battleground states.
What this means of course is that whomever is declared the loser will start claiming the “election was stolen” again.
But what is really happening is that since neither candidate is any real good, it is being decided by random occurrences.

Every day you stay off cigarettes you are substantially reducing your chances of sudden cardiac death. In fact, the first day you quit you reduce it by something like 50%. Congratulations. Stay with the program. The first 7 days completely off are the worst and it becomes a matter of changing habit after that.

The first thing to do is find a flight school near you and ask for a “discovery flight”.
For completely new people I always suggest learning to fly gliders first. It really teaches you how a set of wings and controls acts in the air. It is also cheaper than learning to fly powered aircraft, though you can later do an “add-on” for powered flight.
See this video for how cool soaring is - https://youtu.be/r7MVnaetYcI

Thanks, it is. I always say I never get up and think my job is boring and I don’t want to do it. I sometimes get up and think my job is really hard and I’m not sure I can do it.
