I may be missing something, but why can’t you have the bank account and phone number both in Lebanon?

In a ranked choice system or other better voting system, yes.

In the current system, voting for anyone but the least bad choice among the two that stand a chance is almost like giving your vote to the one that has the best chances, regardless of your preferences.

Look up the spoiler effect in elections.

Or, CGP Grey has an excellent explanation of the whole thing.

That is not the question. The question is: it’s a binary choice. People should be aware that not voting helps the worst candidate win. Why not vote for the less bad candidate then?

Omelet composed of >60% frozen vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce.

It doesn’t hold itself together at all and it looks disgusting.

I’ve got a feeling we’ll see Bush v. Gore style recount shenanigans or worse. Trumpist “stop the steal” people have begun to infiltrate the election process, right?

Windows. Can’t be arsed to deal with Linux.

I’ve tried it. There were three issues:

1. Mouse movement was pretty choppy. Not exactly a dealbreaker, but it took a little extra effort to aim at buttons.
2. There wasn’t an easy way to do keyboard shortcuts. I googled the issue and people were suggesting to change the system keyboard to one that includes extra keys like Windows, Ctrl, etc. I really didn’t want to deal with that.
3. The interface was pretty hard to navigate. In the absence of extra keyboard keys, I looked into creating a custom script in the app to maybe do things like Alt+tab a different way, and I never found it. Both apps said it had to be configured on the other device.

Yeah I wish they were still adding new features and stuff. But I haven’t found a better alternative yet, so I guess that’s what we have.

This is so weird. It reads like fiction.

Why is there a whole military briefing transcription right there in a newspaper? Isn’t that supposed to be secret?

Unified Remote. It’s a little janky, but it does you to turn your phone into a trackpad and/or keyboard for your phone. It works with swipe typing, and allows you to use keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Tab or Win+Shift+Arrow.

Truly the best way I’ve found of using my PC from my couch.

Eh, bicycle helmet I guess?

That sounds dumb. :(

I kinda like the idea but I also kinda hate it.

I really wish PWAs worked properly cross-platform instead. :(

Maybe do robotics (likely in a simplified way; surely “robots for dummies” is a thing?) and have them make their robots compete in some sort of competition at the end of the year.

I’m not even a competitive person at all, but when our school had us compete on Popsicle stick bridges, I had a ton of fun. Creative projects with a clear, real-world benchmark at the end are really fun.

I understand that they need to diversify so that they’re not so dependent on Google’s default search engine money. I don’t know how they should do that.

But I’m not sure what they’ve been doing has been all that good of an idea.

The return of mustaches.

Thanks! Hopefully my new tires are more resilient

Leftover powder on the road is a different beast. It’s often mixed up with a little bit of sand, and it’s been crushed into a powder that doesn’t feel like natural snow at all. It doesn’t stick and it slips like fine sand. Not a fun time. A little pile of 2-3 cm of the stuff was enough to almost make me completely lose control last year. Scary stuff.

Hmm, i see.

I’ll have a new bike with different winter tires this year but last year my bike would get dangerously destabilized by the smallest amount of leftover powder snow trail from the snow clearing machines, so I stayed well away from uncleared roads.

But for one, as you say, that was forgetting about how uncleared snow is not the same, and also, new tires this year.

I’ll give it a try next time. It’ll probably be safer to avoid the cars for a little bit longer anyway.
