No, each EU country has its own electoral system. The EU is currently a federation of mostly independent countries. Most or all of these countries have voter ID laws. This is usually not a problem since everyone can be reasonably assumed to have a government-issued ID document.

To give an example, in Germany your birth is always documented. As a citizen you always receive an ID card when you turn 16; in fact, you are legally required to have a valid one that includes current information. For example, if you move you have to make an appointment with the citizens' center in your new municipality to change your registration and they'll put a correction sticker with your new address on the ID card. If you change your name you have to get a new one, which costs about 50 bucks; same if you lose yours or if it expires. People under 24 and poor people get rebates, in the latter case of up to 100%.

We don't have a voter roll per se; all citizens receive voting invitations by mail several weeks in advance of an election. These are used in conjunction with your ID card to get access to your assigned polling place. The law mandates a certain density of polling places so nobody has to travel too far or wait for too long. The invitation also includes everything needed to register for mail voting including a postage-paid return envelope so poverty isn't a factor in whether you can vote by mail.

So a lot of the criticism about voter ID laws you hear in the United States doesn't apply here because ID cards are ubiquitous (and have been for a long time) and we go out of our way to make sure poor people aren't disadvantaged.

Then the 90s rolled around and we got amazing shows like Viper and Thunder in Paradise instead.

At least they didn't call any of those lemons a tart.

Microsoft's definition of "cross-platform" generally means "Windows and mobile devices, maybe Macs"; MAUI supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Tizen, but not desktop Linux.

Generally speaking, if you want a .Net UI that works on all desktop operating systems you'll want a third-party framework like Avalonia or Uno. Yes, that's extremely annoying but .Net is generally well-designed otherwise and they have to put that signature Microsoft touch somehwere.

One nitpick: MAUI isn't cross-platform in the sense that it runs on Linux. Okay, it does on Android, but not desktop Linux.

They'd have to go with something third-party like Avalonia.

Honestly, I'd love a Linux music player that supports WinAmp 5 skins.

Dir Forderung wäre rechzeitig gekommen, wenn er sie ausgesprochen hätte, bevor die CDU ihren eigenen Ruf ruiniert hätten.

Gut, da war er auch noch nicht Kanzler.

Yes, that is certainly the only inaccurate part in that dialogue. ;)

I'd like to see a cop show that applies that level of writing to guns.

A: What can you tell me about the bullet you recovered from the victim?

B: It's a handgun round, caliber 9x19 inch, solid steel frangible hollow-point. Fired with a muzzle velocity of 100 joules, one of these can punch through an inch of hardened RHA like wet toilet paper.

A: 100 joules?! Jesus Christ, that's enough to kill someone!

B: Exactly. This is the kind of bullet only a professional would use. Thankfully the firing pin left an imprint on the bullet; if we can find the shop that sold the gun they can tell us who fired it.

A: Only one shop in LA carries weapons that powerful. Let's go.

A small AAA pocket flashlight with a magnetic base comes in handy surprisingly often and can be clipped into a tiny jeans pocket for carrying. You can even use it from there if it's angled.

You're not going to save the day with it but it's pretty neat to have on hand. (That's pretty much as far as EDC goes for me.)

Your customer service could use some work, though.

You mean the party that has made numerous inquiries on matters of state security, including supply routes, for no apparent reason? The party that has essentially permanent representation in Moscow? The party that actively campaigns for voters with a Russian immigration background, to the point of making Russian-language ads? The party that has officially maintained the position that Russia should keep Crimea ever since the first invasion?

Yeah, no surprise they're kissing daddy Putin's feet yet again.
