It would be better to just give the voter a set of 6 lines, top to bottom, with rank 1 at top and rank 6 at bottom. That is the easiest to visualize and understand, and that's also how almost all of the campaign information about RCV has shown it... Then have some way to identify each candidate to put on each line that's not just hand writing the name. That I'm not 100% sure how to do. My engineer solution says create a lookup table with letters or numbers next to each candidate, but that could easily get confused with the rank in which to put them.

https://results.oregonvotes.gov/ResultsSW.aspx?type=CTYALL&cty=26&map=CTY and click "Local Results For State Contests"

56.8% (213,693) Yes / 43.2% (162,466) No

so not as big of a change as I thought. But I guarantee it made a difference, because if I saw that bullshit above on my ballot i'd be very inclined to vote against doing it again.

I suppose if you view it that way, that is true. I see pizza as a specialty though, and not really a regular staple, so if I want some I'm going to go to the local parlor that can get me a super good pizza for like $18 plus tax. If I only do that once every month or so I want it to be really good.

It's not that it would have changed anything, it's about the message it sends regarding how voters really felt about the Democrats and the election in general. Sure it may have been "decided" by a few ten thousands in a few swing states but there was a huge nationwide collapse of support.

She’d be pretty hard-pressed to make her case.

Logic has never stopped any republican.

You'd have to take Vance out too, as he would automatically succeed Trump

He cannot unless they’re convicted criminals.

Until the Republican swept house, senate and SCOTUS just unilaterally decide to change the law and allow deporting any "enemies of the state". Who's going to object lol?

Nothing in American law statue is concrete now that they hold every single key.

And the blue LED ring 'round the disk slot that doubled as an activity indicator. So cool.

Countdown until Chavez-DeRemer sues saying the election was stolen or that redistricting was gerrymandering in 3, 2, 1...

Where the fuck can you get a large pizza for $12.95 that's not little ceasers crap?

Yes it is. Don't misconstrue the results.

Trump is currently winning the popular vote (73m to 69m). A vast majority of total votes are counted so it won't go up more than another million or so from there.

Trump lost the popular vote in 2020, 81 million to 74 million.

Trump's margin in swing states is currently well over 100,000.

Trump's total vote count basically didn't change at all, but there are currently 12 MILLION people who just didn't show up to vote for democrats. Sure the electoral college was "decided" by a few hundred thousand, but this was a collosal collapse of democrat voter turnout nationwide.

I've been doing functional ABS and ASA lately and had a couple very annoying warpage spots. One was a total failure. (We won't talk about the other 3 failures that were wet out-of-the-box Bambu ASA...)

The X1C is definitely nice, but the all aluminum-and-glass side panelling has a sometimes-unwanted side effect: thermal conduction.
The aluminum sides are so conductive that they do not allow the chamber temp to go above 40C, even after a couple hours of heat soaking the build plate at 100C before starting an ABS print.
Enter: One random bath towel. doesn't look like much but just covering the three sides with a thin layer means it's good enough insulation to get the chamber up to 50C now! And the ABS parts look better than ever- every C counts.

Potentially big changes are coming to ODOT's funding model in the next few years. There are holes that the state can't patch.

Sorely needed.

100% chance that they'll still need to toll traffic to cover the remaining few billion in costs but it is a good step forward.

1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, a recent addition to my collection.

221 inches bumper to bumper, 425ci Cadillac big block V8 fuelled by a standard Rochester Quadrajet and coupled to a TH400 3 speed auto. Floats like a cloud.

The collapse of the state Republican Party continues.

I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.

Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I've always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I'm also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).

Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.
