Introduce the new cat slowly, and continue to give plenty of attention to your current cats. Keep the kitten in its own room for at least a week.

The president should be elected by popular vote. If you are concerned with the smaller states having unfair representation that is what the senate is for where the smaller states have greater representation (compared to population) than the larger states.

Also some weird things can happen with the current system. Only swing states matter in the presidential election due to the winner takes all approach where a 55/45 victory is treated the same as a 90/10 victory.

Here's a map of US with state sizes based on the number of campaign events in 2012. This is how the candidates view the relevant voters (and their issues). Notice that 38 states are missing altogether:
https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/sites/default/files/2012-state-size-by-campaign-events-v4-biglabels-small.png

Similarly, in 2016, almost all campaign events (94%) were in the 12 states where Trumps support was between 43% and 51%. Two-thirds of the events (273 of 399) were in just 6 states (OH, FL, VA, NC, PA, MI).

We'll see lol. It'll take at least a couple more weeks before I finish the show. Maybe my opinion on S3 and Zuko will change after watching everything in order.

I'm pretty sure years ago I thought it would have been better for him to redeem himself on the last episode of S2. He made his choice and him failing to become a good guy would have been more interesting to me. Or at least for someone else to teach Aang, even if Zuko did eventually want to help them.

This is one of the areas that Arizona does an amazing job at. We do two things that should be standard everywhere:

2) An independent commission draws the district boundaries to avoid gerrymandering

I never use the self checkout at any store. I always go to the cashier to support them, so that I don't have to deal with the machine, and so that they can bag things for me. Especially because I use reusable bags, and that'd just add one more thing for the machine to complain about.

RE4 is one of the few games that I played twice in a row, and like you did professional mode afterwards. I tend to like professional until the island and then it becomes tedious. I'm not sure if that is because I'm playing the game twice in a row, or if the island is just...unfun on professional. Krauser and the enemies just have too much health, and the island itself is by far the weakest part of the game.

If you weren't aware (I wasn't) a remaster of C&C and Red Alert is coming out in a few days. The trailer is impressive and shows that they put a lot of effort into remaking the games.

The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection will be available June 5 worldwide on PC. Comprised of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Command & Conquer: Red Alert and their three expansion packs - Covert Ops, Counterstrike and The Aftermath - the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a passion project between EA, some of the original Westwood Studios team members at Petroglyph, and Lemon Sky Studios.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1213210/Command__Conquer_Remastered_Collection/

I wonder if they kept the wall glitch/cheat from C&C. As a kid I abused that method to beat the game. Not only was it super helpful, but it was amusing to use sandbag walls to prevent the enemy from attacking lol.

I loved Xeloblade Chronicles when I played it for the first time a few years ago. The characters were so charming, and the gameplay was fun. Heropon Rikki needs his own game!

I didn't enjoy X as much. My biggest problem with it was probably the unnecessary requirements to advance the plot. I seem to recall needing to complete a certain amount of quests, and needing to collect a certain amount of random items before you could start the next chapter. And it just wasn't fun randomly wandering for hours hoping to collect whatever items. The game wasn't as charming so my motivation to keep going eventually dropped.

You can never go wrong learning SQL, or at least basic SQL with a focus on searching a database. It can potentially be used in IT, and even non IT jobs.
