    Wait, you're required to vote by mail in Washington? So there are no polling places and voting booths in Washington?

    Nope, I believe this was to save money/encourage more voting. Employers are technically supposed to allow you time to vote, but I'll be fucked if in the 13+ years I've been working I'd ever seen someone get time off to go vote and not have it be scheduled.

    Weird. I worked at a place one time where the boss would shut down for a long lunch on election day so that everyone could go vote.

    I wonder what would happen if I took my laptop to a computer repair place and asked them to upgrade the processor and video card.

    If they sucked, they'd tell you no.

    If they were decent, they'd look at the options, check and see if they could simply order a better motherboard, and replace that for you.

    If they were awesome they'd order what you needed and solder that bitch in.

    Hell no. But I'm in Australia. And were I in America I'd move to like, Canada. Probably not though, fuck the cold. But more northern Australia, because the NSW state government is a joke.

    Which is my point- and why I was all "goddamit ignorant roomate listen to the two politically active scientists you live with"

    My company pays for my health care and did bloodwork like this, it helps lower the overall insurance charge on the company and gives us better coverage.

    Are they allowed to pre-existing you if they detect genetic markers for certain diseases?

    or raise your individual premiums?

    Even if there was someone there that had the ability and knowledge to do it, he wouldn't be getting paid enough to do it, and they'd probably push him to sell you a new laptop.

    Yup they are. They can fuck you over due to certain genetic markers all the want if they feel they have proof that it leads to higher chance of costing them money.

    Or at least they can do this till and deny you coverage till 2014 when the adult pre-existing is removed.

    Mostly I was being silly but I've supported a few Excel sheets that were like that.

    Ugh, our old timesheet system was this homebrew excel sheet that people emailed in and then a program would loop through all of the sheets in the mailbox and process them. It was kind of terrible.
