@grumpygamer I say embrace the typo and implement a Heath bar. If you can get product placement money, so much the better!

["those people" is a reference to the represenatives they are voting for.]

This is why I'm confused by your previous sentence:

[the state picks the representatives, the members of the state pick who those people will be]

So the state picks the elected representatives, the members of the state picks the elected representatives? Are these two was of saying the same thing, or are they meant to contrast in some way I don't understand? I'm literally having trouble parsing the sentence.

Back to content, let's focus on federal congressional representatives. Does any state do anything other than "all voters within the representative's district get equal votes in choosing their representative"? (I see runoffs for majority, ranked choice, approval voting, etc. as variations within this.)

@freemo @LouisIngenthron @thegonzoism @trinsec I don't understand your first sentence. What's the difference between "the representatives" and "those people?

Also, doesn't every state elect their representatives by popular vote within each district? (I believe the Constitution technically says it's up to the states, but don't all of them do it this way?)

Uh you really can’t appreciate how unhinged the school dance scene is in Grease until you put it to Rob Zombie

@eladnehorai Alt text: In the 1950s, a large number of 30-year-old "teenagers" dance enthusiastically, perform flips, and occasionally slap each other. The soundtrack has been replaced with Rob Zombie's "Dragula".

"A man came into a Wood one day with an axe in his hand and begged all the trees to give him a small branch, which he wanted for a particular purpose. The Trees were good natured and gave him one of their branches. What did the Man do but fix it into the axehead and soon set to work cutting down tree after tree. Then the Trees saw how foolish they had been in giving their enemy the means of destroying themselves."

The good news is that SIGCSE is in Portland next year.

The bad news is that it's at the same time as GameStorm.

Due to a mixup in the payroll department, everybody's working for The Weeknd.

@lowqualityfacts Currently dogsitting a Chihuahua, I can verify.

I believe they hunt by stunning their prey with their sudden, piercing barks.

The plot of "65" hinges on the idea that, before there were humans on Earth, there was privatized medical debt.
