I think we'd be best served by four healthy and roughly equal political parties vying for the tiller. The advantages are numerous. Mostly it's simply that without a majority for a specific bit of proposed legislation the method is a round of cross party talks. The parties can then leverage their votes for influence. Cross party cooperation is automatic and individual parties get to claim their contribution as a win for their base. It tends to promote centrism and dissuade wing nuts. It also makes stunts like holding the budget for ransom less likely. If you can have influence even though you are not part of a majority voting block that also means that your base will not accept you to simply sabotage everything. -

It was largely a cutscene romance so it didn't bother me. I mean I didn't have to into the tunnels and gather 30 rare ingots to get to the next stage.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Trump voters get the same sense of abject disappointment democrats did after 4 years of Obama. No great 'Change', no revolution, very little of what was promised. Just business as usual. They don't seem the forgiving sort.

Think the press blackout on Dishonoured 2 is turd polishing or just new policy ? The cup game as it were, always leave em guessing.

Don't underestimate angry old men, they all vote.

Maybe it won't be so bad. You can just let him fly around in airforce one and pardon some turkeys and the white haired fellow who doesn't seem quite so mad can run things.

Well, the only reason people are talking about it is that the Donald doesn't lose, so he's preparing an excuse. For when he didn't lose because it was rigged. Hey maybe being a bad loser will at least ruin his political career like it did for Al Gore.

So has Hillary won because of the electoral college and people, media, are still talking about it because well, they want a good show on election night. Is that about it.

The medical service providers aren't selling to the end users, their main concern is simply that the drug or treatment is approved by insurance companies. If the end users could bargain collectively they would get a better deal.
-
The pharmaceutical industry has you by the balls. The governement needs to be able to collectively bargain for drug purchases. Doctors have to be forced to inform patients if there is a cheaper just as good alternative. Medical insurance is the reason why medical services cost more in the US than practically anywhere else in the world. It's why executive douchebags can raise AIDS medication and EPI pens by 1000%. They even admit it themselves. The more you can cut out the profit incentive the closer you get to producing medical services at their actual cost.

Wait. I see a dangling 2 pin connector connected to the 6 pin. What else could it be for.
-
So. Don't actually have a spare 12v 8 pin connector. The one I thought was one says 'cpu' and is, something else. Good thing it didn't go in or I would have fried everything.

I wonder what the point of the anti static bits of plastic wristband in the package is. You would want to ground yourself, by touching the ratiator for instance, before installation, not rely on bit of plastic.
-
mmm Maybe it's me and I'm generating the static with my chair which rolls around on a small bit of carpet. It's stopped now anyway and I didn't do anything.

Since using the new monitor with displayport I discovered that I get a sharp static shock when I touch the computer cabinet and the radiator at the same time, it builds up instantly too. If I lift my finger from the case after the charge has dissipated and put it down again I get another one. a frequent occurence since I like to rest my feet on the radiator. I noticed that the power cord for the monitor doesn't have the usual three prongs where one is earth I think. Not really sure if that relevant for static and whether that even works with Danish power fittings and in any case shouldn't I be using the power cable that came with the monitor. I have extra three pronged ones though. I'm about to change out both my gfx for the new 1070, the displayport cable for a shorter one which also came with the monitor and the power cord. Really hope that makes a difference.
