Verifier stresses out your drivers ... basically forcing them to fail
you can figure out which one failed/caused the BSOD

Whatever you do ... DO NOT GOOGLE THIS FOR THE SOURCE ... PLEASE !!!

Someone was talking about this the other day ... OMG ... it was from the most epic civil rights movie that I have ever seen ....

But .... this seems to be the case for EVERY ADVANCEMENT that society ever makes.

In every civil rights conflict, we are only able to recognize the just point of view years after the fact.

And when the next conflict comes along, we're once again blind to it as it's happening.

"Well, this is different," we say. But it isn't.

It is the same beast just wearing a different face...

and it's happening again today.

So I urge you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury...

not to be a footnote on the wrong side of history.

Don't wait too long to be right.

The Last Hawk

The Last Hawk is probably one of my favorite books.
Kelric: What price a Sixth Level?
Ixpar: The rule of a world.

patterns and influences
ripples in the pond

how studying can go both ways, how playing a game teaches you about someone else, at the same time that they learn about you. how it is impossible to hide that influence

Got into a fight with my sister about the societies in the book, she found them contrived and unbelievable. I pointed out, that they all exist today, except with the genders reversed.

thought experiment on fractional votes

so what other interesting weights could we use?

young? yup - draft age would be 10x

retired? 1/10th

politician? zero ... vote doesnt count ...

police and other LEO, DAs ... 1/2? they get so many other perks

POC? 1.5x ? they have all been screwed over so many times ... little bit of pay back?

but can I add ... knowledge ?

evolution, climate change, knowing whether voter fraud is real or not - maybe pick the top 10 items that fox news is DEAD WRONG on ... 　

just a small multiplier 1.1x

I have also (being an insane mathematician) , spent some time on HOW to get the rich to really WANT to pay their fair share of taxes.

Say bonus votes, in log10 space.

Pay a million in taxes - get 2 votes total

pay 10 mill, 3 votes

100, 4 votes

1 billion 5 votes

Small incremental, but only on taxes paid ....maybe they would be silly enough to PAY MORE TAXES ???

I really need a nap.

2016 ballot access

HEHEHEHE
I looked recently at 3rd party issues.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_20​1​6#Major_third_parties
1) the two major 3rd parties already have methods to select their candidates and pretty much would not accept Trump. In no universe would the Green Party take Trump. Never.
The Libertarians might, but probably not.

2) neither of the two major 3rd party candidates are even on the ballot in all 50 states.
The ballot process alone ... shudder. http://www.gp.org/ballotaccess
Green only currently has access to 296 electoral votes. Libertarians have access to 332 electoral votes.
And the rest of the Parties
3) in the end, trump would want to be clear of any stench that an existing 3rd party already has, so he would just make his own, like what Ross Perot did.
4) It would be just as easy for Trump to get on the ballot as an independent as Ross did. Get your nutters out to organize the needed signatures, Trump can pay out of pocket for any and all expenses.

In theory, Trump would only need to get on enough major state ballots, if his goal was just to run as a spoiler. No way that Trump would do that, he would get on all 50 ballots (unless it is already too late, FARKING STATE BALLOT ACCESS laws suck major balls)

2016 interesting court cases
