I found a slightly different system online once. You mark your todo list with a dash (-) in front. If it's done, cross it to make a plus sign (+). If it's something that you postponed or moved to another list/page, turn the dash into an arrow (->). I adapted it from the dash-plus system years ago: https://www.patrickrhone.net/the-dash-plus-system/

I agree. The Mandalorian was great. Not Andor great, but waaay better than the latest trilogy. Now, Book of Boba Fett on the other hand....

Just watch the Andrew Lloyd Webber theather version. It's by far the best.

Was it? Or are those numbers just Hollywoid accounting. I mean, on paper everybHarry Potter movie was a flop....

All those Disney live action remakes are sooo bad. People just don't have the expressiveness of cartoon characters. The Lion King was the worst. The characters were animated and still wooden

I didn't know it was a co-production, but I knew it was Herman van Veen! That guy had the weirdest kids show ever: "Daar komen de Clowns" (Here come the clowns) about a group of clowns flying through space in a giant top hat.

Alfred J Kwak is actually a Dutch series.

I am Dutch btw. My parents always watched Tatort and any other krimi on ARD and ZDF, like Derrick, Cobra 11 and Kommisaris Rex. I learned to speak German at a young age thanks to the TV 😄

It's worse. As long as any parent or holding company is incorporated in the US, they are subject to secret FISA court orders. It doesn't matter where the data or keys are located. FISA can compel the company to hand it over.

But you can be coerced to give up that number. People can buy your vote and you can give them your number as proof. That's a huuuuge problem. You should not be able to prove (to someone else) how you voted. Ever.

What you need is some kind of systeem that allows you to verify your vote, but which is useless to someone else. It's probably possible. But your idea isn't it.

That is a bad idea because now someone else can also check how you've voted. I.e. you can be coerced or threatened to vote a certain way. The current system is anonymous. You can vote X but say you voted Y and nobody can prove different.

How is US tech going to do without European money? It's a two-way street. Things like GDPR, USB-C charging everywhere and other regulations have shown that the EU has plenty of influence.
