'd always be eating things you liked all the time. So that's my suggestion: never let yourself be hungry while you're dieting. Just change the mix of things you're eating. All right, but do them one at a time. Don't get rid of all your addictions at the same time. So even getting rid of sugar all at once is tough, but getting rid of that ice cream you eat before you go to sleep, you know, just wor…

I went to a desert island." That would work. It all works once you've decided. Everything works. But you might want to do something. In other words, don't do nothing. It probably helps that you pick some method you're comfortable with. But the flip side of that is when you only want to quit, no method works. Let me say that again. When you want to quit your addiction but it's not a decision, it's just something you really want, no method works. Let me say that like five more times.

All right. Rasmussen had a poll of Arkansas voters and what they think about paper ballots versus machines. And by two to one, the Arkansas people wanted paper ballots. But here's the weird part: 31% opposed having only hand-marked ballots. In other words, 31% of people in Arkansas prefer machines. Why does anybody have any reason? Have you ever heard of any reason?

There's no problem about getting it done in time. 100% of experts would agree that you can have a fair and secure and well-audited election. 100% of experts would agree that adding a complicated new technology could give you problems on voting day, of course, but also questions about what's happening within the machine if people can't tell. So there's a public perception problem. So even if the machines are perfect, the public has trouble telling. There's an audit problem. So I just can't understand how in the world nearly a third of people in Arkansas, especially a Republican kind of state, what argument do they have for not having paper ballots and also having electronic machines? Have you ever heard the argument? Machines with a timestamp? But still, machines introduce an extra level of complication, right? Lots of Democrats. But do you think it's because 30% are uninform

ed about the advantages and disadvantages? Is that all it is? They're just uninformed? Probably. All right. So you know this whole Seth Rich thing is bubbling up again because I guess through some Freedom of Information Act we'll soon have access to what his laptop said. Now I don't expect anything interesting to come of that. According to a thing called the news, the idea that Seth Rich had been…
