I’m starting to see where I went wrong here. I should have taken a closer look at the breakdown of the election they were using as an example. I just kind of assumed that “the opposition” was the (perhaps imperfectly translated) name of a single party or coalition of some kind.

Ooooookay, that’s making a lot more sense now. Kind of an apples to apple pie comparison. Thank you.

I’m not understanding this:

If this sounds strange, that’s because it is. For example, if Poland had used this electoral system in its most recent election, the outgoing Law and Justice party would still control the Polish parliament, despite receiving only 35 percent of the national vote against the opposition’s 52 percent.

If the law and justice party received 35% of the votes and the opposition received 52%, then wouldn’t “the opposition” receive the 55% control of Poland’s parliament?

Or the next Google CAPTCHA after one of the sneaker-scalpers trains their own.

Is their completely automatic online store still closed on Sundays?

Haha!

Hopefully this is related to the 12 foot alligator?

You'll shoot your eye out!

Many mysterious sources in the article, but intriguing details too. Had no idea their new cells have a powered electrolyte.

Lost in thought, halfway between the derp-verse and our own :-) I'm delighted he's doing well again. Do they think the shots will keep the paralysis at bay for a while?

alt.binaries.warez baby! Apparently you can swim in the same river twice :-)

FIDONet, sheesh... I got warez to download ;-)

Definitely power hogs. Modern switch mode power supplies are incredibly efficient.

I never really administered anything like that myself but I had a friend who took care of some old servers ~20 years ago in college. Multiple power drops in that small room went to fuse panels rated for several hundred amps each.

Unfortunately all I know were that they were VAX mainframes and were already considered obsolete in the late 90's ;-)

Um... Compuserve, AOL, etc. were not email clients, nor did they come first. Email already interoperated just fine, these companies by and large added compatibility/internet email gateways as it became increasingly clear they would become irrelevant without it.

iConnectHue has self adjusting sunset and sunrise timers... but it might have gone to a subscription model, in which case screw that.

And I could certainly set something like that up in home assistant.

It's worth noting that all the Hue bulbs I own have a fairly high minimum brightness. Meaning they pop on at ~10-15% full brightness.

Feels like they just need to keep showing me pictures of someone cracking open a gooey coco pod and this problem will fix itself.

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Matter flop and flounder this year :-)

Literally no advantages, plus you've got Google on security so you know your privacy is getting invaded because it's their damn business model.

Good luck, hopefully he responds well to the shots. I'm glad you noticed something was wrong early.

On haikuOS, unfortunately not... but you reminded me of the computers Be made with the activity LEDs up either side of the front panel... those gave me some feelings back in the day ;-)

While getting head! It was epic, I just dropped the worm through a back door in the firewall ;-)
