Your reading comprehension isn't as good as you think it is, I addressed that already.
I'm sure they were affiliated and financially supported by a party, and some municipalities do run partisan elections, but "mayoral elections are officially nonpartisan in most of the nation's largest cities", insofar as party affiliation is not listed on the ballot. I'm sure mayoral candidate party affiliations are well-known/easily determined in big cities, but in small towns like the one I grew up in, the info isn't necessarily there and there's not necessarily anyone even looking for it.
4°C is 39.2°F, which, at least in the imperial system, is less than 40. And yeah, different governments have different regulatory standards, this is very very very common. Certainly the difference between 40° & 43° is less crucial than the difference between 40° & 100° and of course all foods (and the bacteria involved in their spoilage) are different (some things are considered safe up to 45°F for instance), but you have to plan for the worst-case scenario to be safest. And as I've said elsewhere, this is the industry standard, which is naturally (in America at least) driven by fear of liability litigation more than science, so it's bound to be stricter than is perhaps normally necessary.
If your fridge is warmer than 40°F, it's not working properly. Commercially, prepared food is acceptable to use/sell for a week in the fridge before it has to be thrown out. Practically, this time is often longer, but a week is the safest bet.
Most local governments in America are "officially" non-partisan.
Edit: I'm not wrong 🤷♂️
Yeah, I mean there's only one hour of real danger there and those are the food service rules, so they're going to be as strict as possible. They also teach that prepared food can't be served after a week in the fridge, even though it often lasts longer before spoiling. I personally don't enjoy puking and shitting my brains out, especially as a direct result of my own avoidable actions, so I play it safe.
Don't eat lasagna that's been between 40° and 140° F for more than 4 hours!
Now? No. Then? Absolutely.
No, millions of years ago we were this fish
The last 10 years should have taught you that not only are the majority of American voters unable to see through bullshit, they actually love the stuff. They suck it up with a straw. They go apeshit for bullshit.
Clearly no one has explained the difference between hard- and soft-shelled tacos to the ai
Election ≠ Candidate
Make sense?
