Depends on the size of the area you're considering. In some area, one nuke would blow up 100% of the mines. But in some other, larger, area, it would only blow up 50%.

But to be fair, using nukes to clear mines is probably one of the least effective methods considering all the collateral damage on villages, fields and nature.

"Your body - your choice" refers to the basic human right that you're your own master and no one else can own/control you.

It's especially used in the discussion about whether abortion should be legal or not, where it refers to the fact that the fetus in a pregnant person is indeed part of that person, and they are allowed to do what they want with their own body (e.g. abortion).

The post mentions the opposite, "your body, our choice" which refers to the anti-abortion movement where people, often due to religious reasons, think they should have control over a pregnant person's body, rather than the pregnant person themself.

So it's basically the difference between D and R early votes in Clark County?

What does the Clark firewall refer to?

So how would this system prevent people from voting multiple times or voting as someone they're not? Could you elaborate on what you meant when you said "alternative ways"? I'm imagining something like fingerprints or retina scans, both of which take more time and money than a simple ID.

Also I'm not too familiar with the DMV, but isn't that for driver's licenses only? Surely that's not the only way to get an ID in the US?

I guess my point is rather than allowing voting without ID, there should be better systems in place to provide everyone with an ID.

Why are democrats not as supportive of ID laws? I would assume it's obvious you need an ID to vote, or am I missing something here?

THERE AREN'T COUGARS IN GARDENS! (It's a reference, let's see if someone gets it)

Also I'm amazed by how people don't seem to understand what half-life is. It's not the time it takes for an atom to decay. It's the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay, meaning there will be some U-238 that decay into Ra-226 in just a couple of seconds.

So even if the Earth was created 4000 years ago with uranium but not lead (for some weird reason), some of that lead would have decayed into lead by now.

She holds the title International Master, so I guess OP thought that's the same as World Champion? But she's currently ranked 6365th of active players.

"You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital."

"A hospital? What is it?"

"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

I was actually surprised when I was in the UK last year and people were standing on the right in the escalators. But they walked on the left in crowded places. I was expecting all pedestrian traffic to be left-sided, but it was more mixed, like their measurement systems...
