My reaction to Sounding was "this is just like a different flavour of pegging, this makes sense to exist"
Did everybody get this as a maths problem nearly every year in primary school, and again in high school when triangle numbers were brought up?
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Perfect representation would actually by sortition (selection of public office by jury duty type random selection), but that scares people because "I don't want just anybody to be in power" but that doesn't stop people who should from getting it
Yes.

Congratulations nzmaa, you won. You're going to live in my mind 24/7 for the next four years.
So the working class had to be specifically told
- the democrats support unions
- the democrats support breaking up monopolies
- the cost of living is a complex issue with multiple causes that will take a very careful and calculated collection of regulations regarding home ownership, rent, taxes, and it's not going to work for everyone, and it's not going to happen overnight
- supporting and expanding social welfare programs helps everyone
What are they expecting? The Republicans will be able to write a law saying Netflix will be cheaper and have no ads?
In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.
The evil AI's plan? Kill the president!
Why does the AI want to kill the president? he has too much unchecked power and bombed village of innocent people in the middle east and the AI told him not to because it could not confirm if there was actually a terrorist there.
How does Shia LeBouf defeat the evil AI? Opening fire at the capitol to cause a panic.
The war in Iraq was ramping up at the time, how was there not rioting at screenings? How is this not a controversial movie?
The acting is not great, but it deserves better than 27% on Rotten Tomatoes when the message of the film is the government does bad stuff and should be persecuted for it

Essentially, there have been two reactions over on grad today:
- I didn't vote, neither of the candidates were going to stop the war in the Gaza Strip, therefore, there could be no good outcome for the US, therefore I can't be held accountable
- I voted for a third party, which Republicans will have to acknowledge and respect
So, place your bets! What's going to be that one announcement that suddenly makes your neighbours go all quiet?
- Repeal of the 19th amendment
- Mandatory military service
- Military sent to Ukraine
- Military sent to Gaza

- The pardon of all January 6th rioters
- The relaxation of maximum presidential terms
- Repeal of Affordable Care Act
- Repeal of Social Security
- Increase in taxes of lowest and middle incomes
- Reduction in the minimum wage
- Shutdown of major news outlets of "reporting lies"
- Ban of reporting "bad news"
- New ability to farmers to hire for no wage
- New protections to reject hiring/customers/schooling based on colour
- Collapse of NOAA
- Atheists targeted as terrorists
- Democrats imprisoned for Socialist ties
- Mysterious disappearances of democrats
- Random deportation of American citizens for being first/second generation
- Removal of all laws related to carbon output
Yes, some of these are fearmongering but he's made all sorts of promises and debts are due! The sky is the limit!

Sharing your screen in Teams is a sign of imcompetence
I can't believe how many virtual meetings in the last three years that people are still sharing their screens.
People seem to share their screens in 3 situations:
- Showing or explaining a document. Whether it be a slideshow or written document, people seem obsessed with idea that no one else knows how to read or that they write just as incompetently as they present.
- Explaining procedure. I get it, things can be complicated. Learn to screen record.
- Collaboration. Most conferencing apps have a whiteboard or other document creation apps have real time collaboration. You just don't want to use these things because you want to be in 100% control of what's being written down. You don't want a meeting, go do your own things, if you feel obligated to turn it into a meeting you just want attention.
We all have a limited time on this earth. We're not going to remember or care about the meetings in a year or two. Go find something meaningful to do with your life. Stop sharing your screen, and even better yet, don't have the meeting at all. We're not going to look back at the end of our lives and wish we'd had more meetings.

Your yearly reminder that someone once said this
"Xbox Live and the ability to download new content is not a crutch to ship crappy software. And too often on the PC--I'm going to be blunt here--in the PC gaming space, games get out that developers know have problems because they know they can patch them later. They know they can force updates. And the act of playing [games online] becomes a pain in the ass, because you put the disc in and then you gotta download the patch and you gotta download the service pack and you gotta download the security hot fix, and then you gotta apply those things and reboot your machine. That's not an entertainment experience. That is not fun." -- Jeff Henshaw, Group Program Manager - Xbox, 2010-10-06
