Reply to I want to vote on Greene County issues. Anyone know if this is possible? (More context below.) by kellsybellsy

I live just outside the city limits on the south side. My north property line is actually the city limit and the city has nearly annexed the property completely around me to add Stone Meadow. With that, I have a Springfield address and my children attend Springfield public schools. I can vote for the school board but not for city council or most city issues.

Reply to All Quiet on The Western Front’s soundtrack doesn’t really work by Exotic_Impact_5084

There’s two motifs within the soundtrack. There’s the typical orchestral score that is more traditional, and the thundering, ominous electric organ sound that punctuates specific parts of the movie. I assume what you’re referring to is the latter.

It’s not meant to be a moving, emotional piece. It’s a raw, guttural reaction. It’s all together foreboding, terrifying, and resonant. It definitely took me by surprise the first time I heard it, but as the film progressed it ended up being almost like a callback of sorts. Like you’d almost forget about it, then the organ would hit and you’d immediately be taken back to that feeling of dread.

I really appreciated a totally different approach to scoring a war epic, and it’s one of the most memorable aspects of the film in my opinion.

Reply to comment by AerialDarkguy in Summoned for Jury duty on one of my days off. Not sure if I am entitled to another day off. by tue59833

I didn't end up having to go but when I went I was going with a three pronged argument of I can't be unbiased against cops in a trial, I know about jury nullification and eyewitness testimony is actually really unreliable as my reasoning to say that I would vote to acquit regardless of the law or the evidence.

Reply to comment by psychrolute in ELI5: If benzodiazepines are CNS depressants, why is it so hard to die from a overdose of them alone? by psychrolute

Dude as someone who used to abuse the hell out of etizolam I don't know how you even physically took 950mg.

They came in liek 1-2 MG tablets. I literally remember nothing from the entire year of 2016 from taking 5-8mg of etizolam. I cannot fathom almost a gram. Hope you stopped that stuff and are doing well. It was hard getting off but it's worth it.
