Just so we're all clear: CIA Pete is a financial backer of the app they used for the caucus that both had an "error" and in which he massively overperformed all his polls and then falsely declared himself the winner in the middle of the night on national tv with 0% results reported.

Though to clarify that, bernie's numbers also seem to be supporting pete outperforming expectations pretty handily.

Oddities so far as that goes probably just boils down to the normal campaigning spending that went on, maybe with a side of being like the only non-geriatric still meaningfully running. Iirc pete sunk it into iowa pretty heavily.

I mean. At least they're staying in the same place moment to moment? Same page, even if you have to scroll. Just think, someone could get it into their galaxy brain that people want the UI elements to be inconsistent, and wander around the app from hour to hour. Then you not just have to scroll, but you're never sure how far you need to

But yeah, for whatever reason UI development has always been something of a mess. You'd think some parts would be simple and folks wouldn't fuck it up, but then you find out asking even that much is apparently too much of an ask.

All chatter I'm picking up seems to be suggesting iowa is currently in a state of some kind of confusing recursive clusterfuck with no one quite sure what the hell's happening. Coin flips and pulling names out of hats are apparently getting involved.

Meanwhile I walk by the TV on the way to bed and there's people on it saying turnout is like, average at best.

Current mood: Let's just go to sleep and hope things make sense in the morning.

It's culinary arts, silly people, if it's not more specialized. There's actually cooking degrees and schools. A graduate of one of those flipping frozen burgers in a fast food chain would be a more or less perfect example of underemployment

Think this one was handcuffed (and belted in?) in the passenger seat of a patrol car?

Why livestream it?! I mean, yeah, it's a speedrun, but I don't see proper splits or a timer anywhere.

The timer's offsite, oddly enough. It's the death count, you see. The sooner they finish the sooner it (hopefully) slows down some...

It's an interesting format, really. Racing speedruns, while multiple other formats are simultaneously competing.

... like, seriousness of the situation aside, that might actually be kinda' interesting? Teams competing real time across multiple games contributing to a pooled score. Speedrun triathlon tournament or somethin'.

Like, okay. There's a twenty gig hard drive footprint now. Not just for folks that bought into reforged. Fucking everyone. The client sucks up 1.5 gigs of ram doing fuckall, and loads like ass. You apparently have to log into bnet to do literally fucking anything. There's a play offline button, but it's greyed out. More than that I don't know. That login screen had me look at it for a few minutes, fiddle with the options a bit, and then quit in disgust. People are saying a bunch of shit doesn't work, the EULA for map creation is now a massive get-fucked to creators, there's no custom campaigns, no LAN, there's just... all sorts of shit. All equally inflicted on the non-reforged versions.

Just. To hell with this shit, yo'.
