I can't believe you moved a button. HOW COULD YOU??? I trusted you, Patrick.

In all my life I've only experienced one UI overhaul that I considered an improvement, and even then there were a few specific features that were a step backwards, even by proper design standards (the same action did two different things in only slightly different scenarios.)

Buuiuuuut I know half the time it's just because I'm used to the old way, only the other half is it some corporate bullshit trying to push a feature no one asked for.

 

It doesn't matter if you're a Labor fan, the good times won't last. If you don't install proportional representation this will come back to bite you in the ass as it has before.

Hey here's a thought: let's get rid of all the laws requiring single-unit detached housing. That should open up some new housing in places people want to live.

Everyone's morals are affected by their paycheck, unfortunately.

As far as I understand, the line gets even blurrier then that. Apparently quiet a lot of the subsections of your brain do things that can be interpreted as conciseness, but we experience it as one unified thing.

I actually think your brain is the first thing to succumb to fever damage, no? Still, quality cartoon.

Perhaps I want clear. If you split helium, you lose energy. You have to go above iron if want to release energy from fission (mostly).

Splitting helium requires energy. Go for Radon or something.

I thought Arch was notorious for breaking all the time? Is that a specific version of Arch?

I've bounced off GitHub more than once trying to figure out how to download the .exe file that I assumed must be somewhere. Honestly I still don't understand the interface and I've submitted bug reports for Jeroba on there. I might have even used GitHub for a project once? Every time I look at it it's overwhelming and confusing and none of it is self-explanatory. But, that's fairly true for a lot of stuff in programming.

I use "local send," but it's good to know there are options!

If this counts as advertising, just let me know and I'll take down the post.

I'm collecting donations to fund a referendum campaign to switch Missouri to Freedom Voting (AKA Approval Voting). This is being organized by Missouri Agrees and the donations are being facilitated by the Action Network and Show Me Integrity. Link to donate here.

We're aiming for $1.2 million by Saturday July 1st and this is an all-or-nothing affair. If we meet our funding goal, the signature campaign for the reference goes ahead. If we don't, everyone gets their money back. Now here's the good news, any of the fundraisers up to Molly's fundraiser will get you a 3:1 power multiplier. For every dollar you donate their in the link they donate a dollar AND an anonymous third person will donate one too.

Now at this point you might be wondering, what the heck is Freedom Voting anyway? Great question, I'm glad you asked. Here we go:

  1. Vote for everyone you like.
  2. Most votes wins.
  3. That's it.

Why is it called Freedom Voting? Well, because it gives you the freedom to vote for everyone you like, instead of having to choose only one. You can no longer waste your vote on a minor candidate, because voting for them doesn't stop you from voting for anyone else. It's also called Approval Voting because the fundamental question is "do you approve of this candidate or not?"

Of course, it fixes loads of problems with our current system. No more spoilers, fewer invalid ballots, representative results both in theory and real life, and it's always safe to vote for your favorite, no matter what. Simply put, people love it.

If you guys have any questions just let me know, I'm happy to chat!

 

It's open to public comment and today is the last day. Have a look at the agenda and submit a comment, if you like.

Todd Marinovich was "the test-tube QB" the first half of his life, a drug addict since. Closing in on 50, the former USC and Raiders quarterback is struggling to come to terms with his raging beast of a father—and the big lie that he only now can share.
