"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" by Propellerheads has an amazing bass drop in the middle of the song.

I'm also partial to "Empire Ants" by Gorillaz.

Yes! It sets the tone for the show so perfectly. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I pulled up the first episode on Hulu... the new music gives a completely different tone. It's terrible!

House. I feel bad for anybody who's not seen it with the original intro music.

What makes you think the "loud minority" wasn't the people who voted for Trump in the first place?

Interesting... if that's true, then you can know what temperature each setting on the knob is.

I wonder if this is true for all electric ranges?

Is this true?? I always assumed that electric ranges simply had a variable duty cycle controlled by the knob. That would mean that if you want to get a pot up to a specific temperature, the fastest way is to set the knob to high until you reach the temperature, then reduce the knob to the desired temperature.

This is different from how an HVAC works, where you set an actual temperature and the HVAC runs until that temperature is reached.

But I could be totally wrong about how electric ranges work.

Parker, specifically the Jotter. I still have and use a stainless steel one that I bought in 1999 because I kept losing pens, and I thought that if I spent a little more on one I might take better care of it. It's my favorite by far.

Gotcha... as you can see, it probably depends on who you ask!

"Echo chamber" definitely has a negative connotation, which is why I don't think the specific-purpose group is acting as an echo chamber at least not insofar as they are keeping the group on-topic.

I'm assuming this is meant to be an example of a real-world scenario, and I suspect it would be helpful to hear the actual scenario so that we can comment on the nuances of the specifics rather than wondering if the nuances of the example are relevant or not.

But, to take your example at face value: no, I don't believe the expelled rose-lover is correct about the tulip lover's club being an echo chamber. The tulip lover's club is about tulips... it's in the name, and that's why it's members gather there. The rose-lover is coming in talking off-topic to the point that the members of the tulip lover's club have found it distracting. It's nothing to do with an echo chamber. I would probably expel someone from my chess club if they showed up and constantly tried to get everyone to play monopoly instead.

I'm having a hard time imagining an accident caused by not wearing a seatbelt... I guess maybe being thrown from the vehicle and hitting a passenger in another car who was wearing a seatbelt?

Cheers to that!

There is legitimately good wine at just about every price point... You definitely should not write off a wine just because of the price.

And conversely, there's lots of BAD wine that's expensive.

Try everything and keep track of what you like! Your wine drinking experience will improve, and it'll probably cost you less to boot!

How do you counter the arguments about strategic votes in Cardinal voting systems? Those arguments are explained here: https://betterchoices.vote/Cardinal

Put simply, Approval is still subject to strategic voting that undermines the purpose of the system. In practice, nobody is going to approve of a centrist candidate from the other party because that approval vote might be the only reason that their party loses.

I'm so glad I found this site! I think I've been converted to a Consensus Voting proponent instead of Instant Runoff.

You can read more about it here: https://betterchoices.vote/ConsensusVoting

Do you have a link that explains what you're talking about? I'm having a hard time reconciling my understanding of Ranked Choice (with instant runoff) with the downfalls you describe.

Edit: I came across this: https://betterchoices.vote/Cardinal It explains the spoiler problem with Ordinal voting systems, but also illustrates problems with Cardinal voting systems. Interesting stuff.

Gotcha... as long as you understand that any device that receives that traffic can see exactly what's in it! (no sarcasm intended at all... if you're informed of the risk and OK with it, then all is well!)

What's your reason for using HTTP? That seems like a really bad idea this day in age, ESPECIALLY if that's something you're going to make available on the internet.

A reverse proxy is basically a landing place that acts as a middle man between the client and the server. Most people set it up so that all traffic on 80 or 443 go to the reverse proxy, and then the reverse proxy gets the correct website based on the host header of the request.

If you are currently serving multiple websites on your server, then that means you are serving each website on a different port.

So, just make sure that the reverse proxy is serving on a port that is not used by your other sites. It will only respond on it's own port, and it will only serve the site(s) that you have configured in the proxy.

You'll be fine!

I run a Nextcloud instance on my Unraid server.

I hear you... it's definitely not about one tasting better than others, but maybe more about the eating experience. I do think there's a legitimate argument about how different pasta shapes encourage different pasta to sauce ratios, but at the end of the day it's just the two elements coming together and the taste is what it is. We should all enjoy it the way we want to! I just wanted to explain why some people talk about certain sauces and certain pasta shapes "belonging" together.
