There where multiple ongoing anti-drug campaign when i was a teen.

Many of them framed facts into scare campaigns.

Yeah, "facts". When I was in high school they had cops visit and tell us how another cop "just touched a guy that took fentanyl" and had to have an emergency dose of Narcan (opiate reverser) because he was "poisoned". No being needle stuck, bit, etc, just the "residue" on the clothing/skin of the person that took it. No wonder people don't trust cops.

Per [Is fentanyl dangerous to touch? Experts say no – here's why] -(https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fentanyl-contact-overdose-risks-what-to-know/)

Can you overdose by touching fentanyl?Β 

Experts told CBS News that touching fentanyl powder will not cause an overdose. In powder form, the way it's almost always found in the illicit drug supply, the drug cannot absorb through the skin, said Ryan Marino,Β a medical toxicologist, emergency physician and addiction medicine specialist at the Cleveland Medical Center. Just being near the substance also won't cause an overdose.

"Fentanyl as a dry powder is not going to cross through your skin. It's the same reason you can touch sugar without your blood sugar going up," said Marino. "Solids don't cross through your skin."Β

    There are two wolfs inside of me:

    I want to use Google's AI as much as absolutely possible - in order to cost them as much as possible.

    I want to protect the enviroment as much as possible - and using AI (especially when you don't want to) still costs the enviroment.

    So . . . I'll give into . . . Wile E. Coyote and just do something stupid.

  • YOU are the one that ass-u-med the 100,000,+ had to be at one location - I never said that.

    So you are just giving up your point it seems. I very well know of Palm Beach County, FL. Yes, they counted multiple times.

    My point was never about "how the chads hang" - that's an entirely different issue. The accuracy of the counting is what I am talking about. You can't give a reference for that because such a reference doesn't exist (that is to say, a reference that shows a substantial number of votes counted multiple times when the counts are the same each time).

    Capitals below are for emphsis, not yelling.

    Please site (i.e. reference) where 100,000+ votes were manually counted MULTIPLE TIMES for MULTIPLE RACES ON THE SAME BALLOTS, and the results for ALL canditates were EXACTLY the same for each count.

    Also: I'm NOT SAYING that either machine and/or manually counting is not "exact enought" - I FULLY believe it is and has been for decades/centuries.
