Next time try washing the abv. Putit in water in some container, let it soak a few hours, shake, soak, drain. Repeat until the water comes off mostly clean. Then spread it out on a cookie sheet to dry. If your oven goes low enough putting in there can speed things up. Takes quite some time, days even, but it’s worth it. I cannot stand the taste of abv

I guess there’s not much to this argument at this point between us. I hope you’re right, and I would assume some resistance, but do doubt it to be significant. The courts are captured, national dems are weak, and even when talking about the power of state dems I’ve not seen much strong and resilient push back. Lastly, national dems have quite a bit of power in state politics. Don’t doubt the ability of a crab to pull down it’s fellow crab in it’s own attempt to leave the bucket.

Thanks for the conversation. Though I’m a bit more pessimistic I can see you’re at least a reasonable person

Not really if it’s threatened and the dems instantly fold. A dozen or so congress members and few senate members in support of freezing elections, the threat of violence, and a continuation of what see we now. That’s about all that’s needed.

Still, though it’d argue it unlikely, military intervention cannot be ruled out

On this being a separate situation it’s not really. It’s just an expansion of your own hypothetical. In a world where red states halt elections they would also pressure blue states to do the same. Blue states would likely fold as they have to many of the more important issues recently.

OK. That’s a wild thing to say. If you’re willing to say that the red states may illegally fail to hold elections can you not recognize the likelyhood that they’d stop, by force, blue states from doing the same?

Do you seriously think blue states wouldn’t fold if pressured to stop elections?

I’m not convinced that any of this will come to pass and elections will be stopped but if they want to they can and will.

Gimp is great for regular photo editing but when it comes to digital painting or drawing it lacks alot of the features needed. Krita isn’t as good, I’d argue, at photo editing as gimp is however so both have their place

Love krita. Swapped over to it completely myself. Still missing a lot of what makes photoshop so good, but it’s very good on its own
