Voyager 1 is running on less memory than a single photo in your camera roll—69 KB. Its data is saved to an 8-track tape & software was developed when "the cloud" was in the sky. NASA sends commands and the old thing answers. And yet your brand new laptop freezes because you opened too many tabs.

A massive backlog of voter registration applications in Texas could affect the outcome of local and state elections, including a contentious U.S. Senate election. It’s unclear how many voters could be affected. In Bexar County alone, around 45,000 registrations have not yet been processed.

Indeed. I'm certainly seeing that in the comments. So far as I can tell there's a lot on the Left who want to dismantle the country where half the Jews on the planet live, because indigenous national movements are great except the one for Jewish self determination in the ancestral homeland.
