You don’t understand my point that every time you vote, it is not a foregone conclusion that change will occur?

You’ve replied with an uncharitable and inaccurate summarization of my comment. I understand this claim perfectly well, I was just surprised that your comment in general is just a word cloud and doesn’t actually elevate your claim into a “point” by supporting it or expanding on the thought. Your contributions to this thread continue to be an incoherent gish gallop mess.

I’m still waiting for you to engage the rest of us on the subject. Find a point and try to make it. Be responsive to the other people in the conversation. Right now your behavior makes me think you’re not discussing this in good faith and your intent is malicious not collegial.

Your response here makes little sense to me. You open with the claim that “On every vote you move towards a better outcome” is “fundamentally untrue.” But then your response continues on without addressing this point at all. I was waiting for you to explain why you believe it’s untrue, but you never did.

Instead you raised two different concerns:

1. Voters who are in an extreme minority in their area have little ability to affect change.
2. People don’t vote because they don’t like any of their options.

I don’t see how either of those two claims relate to one another or how they support your claim that the comment upthread is untrue.

The photograph in the post depicts $100 bills.

P&R dropped one primary cast member in season 2 and rewrote the rest of the characters significantly. Changed personalities and shifted relationships, it was a big shift in tone and cast.

They scaled back a lot of inter-character drama, made all the characters more relatable, and made the depicted workplace more cohesive and less adversarial.

Parks and Rec does not follow the pattern you describe. Season 2 was a big format and tone switch.

Agree completely. I don’t even think it’s valid to call this a “tragedy” insomuch as it’s a predictable and unsurprising outcome of cave diving.

Prusa never leads the pack for innovation and their prices aren’t low. But it’s a company I feel good about supporting and they make solid machines you can actually own.

That’s a perfectly viable approach for users who aren’t interested in forge tooling and just need git push/pull capability.

There’s some spooky shit going on back there. And it’s green, too!

You’re proselytizing mercurial in a thread full of git users. Migration is implied in your comment, even if you didn’t literally use those words.

“Simpler” is not necessarily an improvement and might actually be a downside. “Intuitive” is not universal and might not even be accurate for other people with different experiences.

I read just fine. Maybe you must learn to chill.

Sometimes I take 3 showers a day and it’s still less total time than I’ve wasted online.

. . .and your bed gets continually dirtier. . .

Whose sheets are dirtier? The person who only climbs into bed once they’re freshly showered and clean, or the person who takes their entire day’s accumulation of dirt, grime, dust and pollen and climbs into bed covered in all that filth and gross?

Neither of those observations, even if true, are an incentive for someone to migrate away from git.

You’re absolutely right!

Florida is a Hell of a State

I dunno, man. Home Assistant talks to my LG washer and dryer. The tablet on my desk shows a countdown timer for both when they’re running. It’s convenient as hell because I can’t hear the finish chime from my office.

Just to stay on topic, according to my router they’ve generated 256KB of traffic this week and 1.55MB the past month.

Security Through Inability

I actually find straight down to be really annoying and always struggle to keep water from streaming down into my eyes and face. I find the slight angle from a wall mounted shower head much more versatile for cleaning and comfort.

“Signal devs could take care of that”

They did like eight years ago.

I imagine that the signal devs viewed it as a similar concern as when you mistype your password the error message doesn’t give you any way to know if the password is wrong or if the account doesn’t exist.

If only some of your notifications are sanitized then those are the suspicious ones. If all of your notifications are sanitized then none of them are suspicious. Or, at least, they’re all equally suspicious, opaque, and unidentifiable.
