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.

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.

The title made me afraid it was going away! I love that app!

I couldn't find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn't supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn't find any option to disable this functionality.

Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don't have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don't know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.

Now there's thinking with your head!

God, the 21st century must be an operational security nightmare. Maybe don't post videos of your ammo cache? That's useful information to the enemy.

In case you haven't been to a library in a while (yes I know this post is a joke) they do way more than just books these days. Depending on the library you'll get music, movies, videogames, computers, photography equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters, audio visual equipment, recording studios, meeting rooms, and probably other shit I'm forgetting about. Smaller libraries are obviously more likely to stick to the basics, but my suburban library where I used to live had nearly everything I mentioned.

Gimme a soil fact!

While race is mostly a social construct, it's easier to use race as shorthand for "populations with long-term historical ancestry in a loosely defined geographical area, accepting that population mixing has been occurring since the dawn of time and will continue to do so into the future" than it is to say that whole thing every time

BUT, it's my understanding that, for example, Pacific Islanders are generally healthy at a higher body fat percentage than other groups of humans.

 

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!
