I can also say unequivocably that if I wasn't CONSTANTLY getting hints from the internet, it would be unsolvable for me. Entirely opaque. Completely impossible.
An interesting statistical quirk: Notice the disjoint in these two posts. This is not rounding; Godfrey, on the left, is counting Grover Cleveland twice
@The4thCircle Cleveland served two terms nonconsecutively, with a four year term by Benjamin Harrison in between. This is the only time this has happened.
So it would be reasonable to describe Cleveland as the 22nd President, but would also be reasonable to describe him as the 24th President, and depending on whether Cleveland is the 24th President in addition to being the 22nd President, then Joe Biden is either the 45th or the 46th President. People get tripped up by this all the time.
You need to find a second person in the city with this ability and leave messages for each other in UV paint

Have I ever told you about my experience with my Ether? It's a tunerless AM radio, its sensitivity is fine enough I can wave it through the air and "hear" the exact boundaries of EM fields
@Catawu also would put an end to the thing where putting a big prison in a congressional district means the votes of the people in that district are amplified by the population count of the prisoners who can't vote
@streganil I think this is a very interesting point. As an American in Canada it certainly feels weird to me I can't vote in the city I live in but I get to vote on the school board in a random ass town in Massachusetts
@dogfox@Catawu And you can trace "why does it work that way?" directly back to slavery. American governance is just horror stacked on top of horror on top of horror for centuries
@textfiles Someday in hundreds or thousands of years an archaeologist is going to recover this digitization and it will explain so much to them about America
Incidentally I'm thankfully still not seeing any of this Google "AI results" stuff. It sounds like nearly everyone else is. I don't know if the difference is because I'm on a Canadian IP, or because my feedback when they briefly opted me into the early beta tests was so aggressively negative they put some kind of "AI Hater" flag on my account
Finally getting the new Google Shit Flavor. Just really floored that even if you report an AI result it just leaves it up there. Just such a total loathing for the customer being expressed in this feature
