Aww, got my hopes up that this was something new, but it's a year old?

Was there any resolution to this challenge?

It's nice that you think these States are going to produce anyone who could consider post-secondary education

Lemme guess, 5th Circuit?

Edit: Yep, 5th Circuit. What a bunch of assholes.

Holy shit this is incredible. This must have taken so much time to create!

So they immediately left that meeting and started talking about how to unionize, right?

Right?

Gods, Rebels was such a surprisingly excellent show. I should watch it again

Sigh, this guy is my fucking hero, honestly. Can't believe Bernie still fights so hard for you guys after you did him so dirty.

I, as a child, did a music class presentation on "my favourite song of the year" on this little ditty.

Whoops!

Edit: To clarify, then, much like now, I listened to the music and not the lyrics. I don't know if that's common at all, but the singing is basically another instrument to me, and I hardly ever pay attention to the actual words.

It is better scale for human habitation.

Citation needed, since the rest of the world seems to understand how Celsius feels just fine.

Like any learned system, it makes perfect sense to me that 25°C is pretty nice and 0°C is pretty chilly, and anytime it's below 0°C the precipitation is different. Pretty straightforward.

However, when I hear that its a nice 72°F day in the US, that makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Nor does 32°F have any relationship with sanity or scale when that's randomly the freezing point.

No one goes outside and ask how many degrees from boiling point of water is the weather.

That's not how anyone has every thought about the weather, using any system.

Just use 0 to 100.

That's what we're doing already

Is "Starter" referring to who was the initial projected winner at..the beginning of whatever period US elections start? Which to an outsider just looks like "always"?

 

As a non-American, I don't know exactly how your polling works, but why am I seeing "plan your voting day" or "set a voting strategy" like they've done on the Cards Against Humanity voting campaign?

Where I live, it's just show up on voting day and cast your ballot, or ask for a mail in ballot, or go to a special voting station if you need (or want) to vote early. Is it the same in the US, and this is just getting people to gather those last pieces of information early and put a reminder in the calendar? Or is there more to it than that?

Thanks!
