I didn’t know that! From the other comment, sounds like it’s basically fixed.

Nice, good to hear.

Does it still have that weird problem where you’re not allowed to modify surfaces because of the way you created them? Last time I tried using it, I couldn’t create a mirror copy of a shape and then edit the mirror. I could only edit the source, which then applied the changes to all the parts.

It’s immaterial who pays them, the end result is that the product is more expensive to export to the country who levies the tariff. If everyone does them to one country at the same time because they did bad stuff, that’s a sanction.

Is the Arizona factory supposed to be state-of-the art? I had heard we were more concerned with just getting any kind of chip production stateside, since most electronics don’t actually use the latest chips (missiles, toasters, etc.).

The salaried exception floor hasn’t been raised in forever, it needs to go way up.

There are quite a lot of us morons in the world. So many, in fact, that Netflix struggled to stream it to all of us. Clever or not, everyone involved got what they wanted.

The “focal length” of our eyes is a subjective number, because our retinas aren’t flat and our attention doesn’t cover our whole field of view at the same time.

The searches spike after every election and this one was no different than any other year.

Compared to shrimp scampi, an example search I stole from another thread on this topic, it’s pretty clear the searches are meaningless and not tied to this particular result.

You mean the current, ongoing plague that is never going to go away?

I’d rather advisements list the highest price for the area they cover than have false advertising with the prices at the store.

I wasn’t thinking about that at all, but they probably aren’t trying very hard, if I had to guess. What’s their current monetization model?

That’s the same advantage all the other options have, too.

This man ran into the weirdos on Mastodon. I’m over there hanging out with people posting about ass-pennies and no one cries “content warning!” You’re the one who decides who you follow and who follows you. If your hanging out with folks too sensitive for your liking, that’s on you.

Other folks have let you know what’s up. You can read more about it at https://electionscience.org

Personally I think their recent website remodel really took a lot of the meat and potatoes out of their presentation, but I’m not a media guru, so what do I know?

I’m not sure if Approval would weed out extremists in practice or not, but using the current voter behavior under FPTP and extrapolating to Approval doesn’t really hold water. Even in Fargo and St. Louis we’re already seeing different voting behavior, where only 30% of voters chose to be strategic in who they vote for. Under a FPTP election you pretty much have to make a strategic decision.

Yes, actually. RCV is complicated enough that it causes poor NYC voters to submit invalid ballots at a higher rate than their rich and counterparts, something that doesn’t happen with “choose one.” Still, RCV is good, but Approval Voting is better. Under Approval, an invalid ballot is impossible unless you put in illegal markings, which would invalidate a ballot under any method.

I’ve seen some polls significantly worse than that, but not in a developed country.

Basically the same thing. Might as well move to Afghanistan.

Local noon is only solar noon in a thin strip for any given time zone, if it ever is.
