That’s probably the perception. Democrats have been in power for 4 years, things didn’t get better for a lot of people and then they say to vote for them for more of the same. Surprisingly that doesn’t help with voter enthusiasm. They’ll have more chance next time with messaging things won’t get worse with them after Trump mishandled stuff.

Simple, good-sounding things they want to hear is what wins elections these days.

The moment the Trisolarans felt lucky.

Put an iPhone against his head,

pulled my trigger

Now he’s dead

It’s not insane, just very classist

Repeat a lie often enough and people believe it. Especially if you get then angry first so critical thinking is shut down. Help that along with social media echo chambers and 24/7 “news” broadcasts. Add cult of personality around it and you get this.

It’s a wet category 4. It’s the type that carries months of rain and looks for a place to dump it all in a few hours. They create a lot of flood damage. A dry cat 4 would do wind damage and storm surges but not the water bombing.

The scale doesn’t say how wet a storm is, just how fast the wind is. Revising this scale is still being discussed.

It’s pretty common that angry revolutionaries are used by another rich bastard to get into power by usurping the movement. The classic “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

And privatize weather predictions so you don’t see it coming either.

fatal error: Too many errors emitted, stopping now

I usually say what unit of measurement we’re counting in: days, weeks or months. For more detail, more specs are needed.

Users expect to buy a game, a product, not a service. There are enough examples always needing to be online games where local single player stops working when sunsetting the server or just a connection issue.

They’ll do an outlook: cut features from the desktop version until it’s exactly the same as the web version, because every interface needs to be a facsimile of the web, right?

It’s not stupid. It’s just the bastard child of Germany, Dutch, French, Celtic and Scandinavian and tries to pretend this mix of influences is cool and normal.

The current banana is cheapest to transport. They can be harvested when still unripe and ripe along the way, so no expensive fast transport is needed. They’re are many other varieties, but this one was the easy moneymaker.

That’s “monetizing the user base” in corpo speak

And that’s how an iPhone with an interface that even a toddler can figure out sold a few billion units.

You can also make a quarter align with the seasons, so you can just call it spring, winter, …

You can also keep 12 months and make them 30 days each, and add an equinox day in between the seasons. Winter solstice has new year tacked to it and in a leap year summer solstice is two days with the leap year. Keeps it all nicely aligned with the sun.

If you really want you can do weeks of 6 days so each month comes down to exactly 5 weeks of 6 days so the calendar is perfectly reusable each year.
