Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Maybe a little progress. Had the kids in the car and explained to them that during peak hours we pay more the same amount of electricity at home. They seemed to actually understand that after explaining the power Company redefines the value of 1 KW for a specific time frame. I said 2 plus 2 still equals 4 but the price changes depending on the time of day.
Shifted that to voting.
Told them during peak hours of voting they change the value of a democratic vote to be counted as 2 votes for each and the value of Republican votes to be .5 for each vote.
Then when the question arises they can still claim they followed the law because they redefined the value during peak hours. So technically they did lie or break the law so when we say they cheat for instance they can call us liars.
The only way to get their algorithm they all vote on is impossible because they also vote that it is for the survival of their democracy (necks)
A little progress.
Love this analogy, may borrow it at some point if you don’t mind .
Definitely.
