Getting strong late night kebab vibes off this, in a good way. How you eating it without saucing up your entire hand? Knife and forking or daintily-crab-clawing it from the sides?

You're cold to the touch.

Eat it, see what happens.

Oh, that's actually kind of cool. Is that for the primary drive or for swapping additional ones in and out?

Unironically love that. There's a CD drive but what is that next to it? Is it a Zip drive?

Yeah, archive.org is regularly taking about 5mins to load a page. It does get there though.

What's archive.ph about?

Here's the Internet archive capture of the page originally.

Doing this off the top of my head too but I think it's

  • J for Juliet
  • P for Papa
  • Q for Cucumber
  • S for Sierra
  • U for Uniform
  • V for Victor
  • W for Whiskey
  • Y for Yankee
  • Z for Zulu

The string section are scavengers, they'll wait for a poorly aimed honkwitch to land amongst them, then descend as a pack.

The spoils are divided up hierarchically, first violin always eats first.

In all honesty, I was being a bit unfair. It's a wordpress site, so it's probably a fan just nerding out to other fans about something they love.

Still though, a word to other nerds - it's good to put up signposts for the curious, that's how you draw them in.

That's a fair point I guess.

Thank you. I feel like that should have been a key bit of info, but what do I know?

E: words are hard.

 

What kind of threshold should a vote have to pass before being implemented? Do we really want to be making changes based on a vote that only got one "Aye"? Ten Ayes? Over 50% of the user base?

What kind of vote engagement can we reasonably expect to achieve? Is it actually likely that 50% of the user base will engage with any particular vote? Are there any useful presidents out there?

Who should be responsible for counting the votes when they're over? Perhaps the OP tallies the votes and edits the post?

Is there an easy test the mods can apply to a tallied vote to allow them to check whether it's passed? Something that is not open to interpretation and results in a clear directive to make a change?

I'm also kind of testing out this discussion format as a way of generating things to vote on i.e DISCUSSION > POLL > VOTE seems to make sense.

We'll see :)
