Q*bert H. Humphrey commented on Public Finance Bill Ignores Possibility of District Elections.

While I'm not a big fan of our current all at-large system, I can also see many ways where district elections could go very wrong. Some cities have gone to or returned to ranked-choice or instant-runoff voting. Maybe those aren't the best idea either, but I wish it seemed like there was an approach to governance reform that took a broader view of possibilities (in terms of campaign finance, districts/IRV/other voting forms, etc).

Q*bert H. Humphrey commented on Taking Pictures of the Neighbors Through Their Windows.

For staged voyeurism (sorta), I like Gregory Crewdson. Though his photos are large-scale enough that it feels like you can choose whether to look into the windows of the houses in his photos or focus on something else.

Q*bert H. Humphrey commented on Should I Buy One of These?.

I bake bread at home every other day or so, both with and without bread pans, and I don't seem to have any trouble with it rising. Am I missing out on some fundamental breadly nature?

@17, they're not.

Political organizations are creating 501(c)(4)s to hide where donor money comes from, not to avoid paying taxes.

@6, nope, like most eastern states, Minnesota has no initiative or referendum process.

Q*bert H. Humphrey commented on SL Letter of the Day: I'm Out.

The problem in a situation like this is that the winking hipstery use is, for a lot of the people within earshot, basically indistinguishible from the horrible misogynistic use. And yes, that's true even if you have impeccable feminist credentials (not necessarily rightly so, but still true).

Ironically, in a way, you weren't over-the-top enough. If you'd said "baby rapist" or "puppy eater", your intended irony would have been clear to everyone.

Q*bert H. Humphrey commented on Seattle Loses Another Local Publication (That You May Have Never Heard of).

@6, it sure felt like they were hiding the fact that it's a YouTube video. It's not like I care, but it just felt like a sign of another cheap content-aggregator site.

Oh, the irony, it turns out they'd posted another one of my creations (busdrone) just the other day, and now it's gone (except for Google cache). Looks like they troll the Seattle Reddit for content.
