That’s actually why Mr T adopted his moniker.

I think about my father being called “boy”, my uncle being called “boy”, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called “boy”. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.”

RIP to a legend

For the last couple decades, Phil was an outspoken advocate for organ donations thanks to a donor named Cody who saved his life. Every concert he would ask people to consider becoming an organ donor. If you’re not already, think about it. As Phil said, you could “save the life of someone you’ll never meet”.

I played this on Android. It was a lot of fun.

Cocaine and meth are schedule 2 and ketamine is schedule 3, but when I went through DARE they still got lumped in with all the schedule 1 drugs.

So I can have 12 cats if I have -8 dogs?

I remember liking the Star Trek: The Next Generation LCD handheld game. Was it good? No, probably not. Definitely not by today’s standards. But in a pre-Gameboy era, the bar for handheld games was pretty low.

They do offer delivery although I don’t know whether they have their own delivery drivers or if they just partner up with a company like DoorDash.

It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out

Blue testicles?

You would rank them once.

If we were taking the top 5 candidates in a FPTP election, once a candidate receives 16.66% of the vote they would be guaranteed to get a seat because it’s impossible for 5 other candidates to also have at least 16.66% of the vote. So the election threshold in this election is 16.66%. In general when selecting n winners, it is 1 / (n+1).

The scoring takes place in rounds and every round either a candidate will earn a seat or a candidate will be removed (votes can be reallocated to them in later rounds so they’re not permanently out).

When a candidate exceeds the election threshold they win a seat and their excess votes are then redistributed to the other candidates. Suppose Rep1 wins the first round by 1 million votes over the election threshold. Their excess votes are redistributed based on what the voters’ next preferred candidate is. E.g. Of the voters who voted for Rep1, 70% had Rep2 as their next choice and 30% had Rep3 as their next choice. So Rep2 earns 700,000 votes and Rep3 earns 300,000 votes. Then the next round of scoring begins.

If no candidate reaches the election threshold that round, the votes from the lowest scoring candidate are eliminated and their votes are redistributed based on the voters’ next choice similar to how the excess votes from a winner are redistributed (except now it’s 100% of their votes). Then onto the next round.

If we assume that everyone votes down party lines, then every time votes are redistributed (whether because a seat was won or because a candidate was eliminated that round) the votes would only be redistributed to someone of their same party. If Democrats have 33% of the vote, then when a Republican wins a seat the excess votes just get redistributed to other Republicans. When a Democrat candidate is removed from a round their votes just go to the next Democrat candidates. The Republicans aren’t taking away any of the Democrats’ slice of the pie. Inside that blue slice there might be several rounds of shuffling votes around until one of them reaches the election threshold but none of the Democrat votes would ever get redistributed to the Republicans.

I just finished reading that earlier today. What a coincidence!

Yeah I thought it was really interesting how the gameplay penalty is tiny but the psychological penalty is harsh. Really encouraged me to never do it again on subsequent playthroughs.

I loved how the shopkeeper in Link’s Awakening would kill you if you stole anything from his shop. Also every NPC starts calling you THIEF.

How did they decide which letters to censor? Especially for “a----le”. Why the “l” but not the “h” or “o”?
