you're basically paying to have your body disposed of in one of the few ways that guarantees you can't be resurrected as a brain-hungering undead at some point in the future

also who the gently caress is going to keep making payments on a payment plan once the body gets launched into space. it's not like they can threaten to disinter your corpse once it's left behind the surly bonds of gravity. i guess the other option is they don't launch you until you've paid in full, although in that case you've already presumably had to utilize some other method of interring the corpse, so now you're paying for two different funerary services which is just all kinds of silly

they don't launch full corpses, only a "symbolic portion" (i.e., as little as possible) of a cremated person's ashes

if i understand cat genetics right, male callies and torties are rare because they have to have two x chromosones to have both orange and black fur, making all male callies xxy! A fun fact to throw at people who don't understand that even sex alone can be more complex than xx vs xy

There's other possible ways for that to happen too, but yeah, since the orange fur and black fur are both on X and mutually exclusive, there needs to be something Real Funky going on and XXY is the most common one.

Hopefully it's not THAT bad, but yes, the CIA have got crack cardsmiths in place to make sure rattigieg gets all the tiebreaker delegates.

quote:

Game of Chance:
In these very limited circumstances where two or more presidential preference groups are tied
for the loss or gain of a delegate, groups must each draw a single card from a deck of cards to
break the tie. The high card determines the winner, and aces are high. Tiebreaker scenarios
should always be determined after the completion of caucus math. Tiebreakers are determined
by referring to the decimal, not the number of individuals in any given preference group.
● The Nevada State Democratic Party is providing an unopened deck of cards to all
precinct locations.
● The deck of cards should be shuffled by a Precinct Chair or Site Lead at least seven
times before use, and all extra cards (Jokers & Directional Cards) should be removed.
● In evaluating the high card amongst cards of the same rank, the card suit will control the
outcome, from highest to lowest: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs.
● The results of the tiebreaker as well as which group pulled what particular card, shall be
recorded and reported to the Nevada State Democratic Party.
On Caucus Day, the Nevada State Democratic Party will have a hotline for all Precinct Chairs if
they have questions about the Game of Chance process.
The Nevada State Democratic Party is committed to a fair and transparent caucus process.
Using a deck of cards as the tiebreaker game of chance is the Nevada State Democratic Party’s
precedent for deciding caucus ties, set in 2008.
