I'd suggest taking a flight overseas the day after the elections, booked prior to it. If Trump losses, you can use it to celebrate it. If he wins... well, you can ask for asylum on arrival.

Easy: "You, the government, want me to show you all my data? Right after you show me (and everyone else) all your documents, including the "top secret" ones. Because you haven't done anything wrong, right?"

Hasn't anyone ever gone to a flea market? When you start a negotiation you don't say the "fair" price. You start way below the price you are willing to pay and the seller starts way higher than the "fair" price. But the point is starting the negotiation and reaching a middle point that satisfies both parties enough to have a deal signed.

Ugly socks?

TIL that is better having 2.0625" and 2.125" than having 2.1" 😜

Oh, right, inches are not divided by a sane number😉

2" / 3 = 0.666666666 Show me that point in you tape measure 😜

And both cases can be fixed by just skewing a little the tape (19 mm -> 21 mm and 2" -> 2.1". Close to 20°)

In Stargate they did that but not with Christianity.

Or you can do a division and that's it.

I think it could make a nice sci-fi saga. Imagine the bible being only a "broken phone" version of space war propaganda.

Except there's an easy way to mark thirds: if you have a, let's say, 27 cm wide board you take the measuring by skewing a little the tape and measuring 30 cm. You mark 10 cm and 20 cm and there you have it: a third of the wide. You don't even need the precise measure. If you have something with proportional marks you just use it and you get a third no matter the width. It's like a center finder but with thirds (or fourths or...)

I stopped using Windows in the XP era. Later on I started working in a job that required me to have a Win8 laptop. 2 years later I reverted back to Linux once I stopped working there and had Win8/10 as a game OS. But my main "serious" usage was on Linux.
