Dynamic pricing is already here. They just don't frame it as such. Regular prices at the grocery stores are insanely high, and they just give everyone different discounts based on what they think you're willing to pay.

Changes are highlighted in red.

Most notably, there seems to be three rule changes relating to technique:

• Squat: Must use a full grip. Thumbless grip is no longer permitted. There's also a minimum height for bar position now.
• Bench press: No sink-and-press
• Deadlift: Clarifications on what it means to lock out with your shoulders back.

Say it's 25C outside and 30C indoors. I want to bring the indoor temp down to 25C, but opening all the windows barely makes a dent. Does it make sense to have the AC turned on and set to 25C while I have the windows open? Or should I be closing them anyway?

RL is still nowhere near the scale where this matters, but it's always good to get an idea of how things are going to look when they inevitably reach that point.

This just started yesterday. Every time I switch screens (e.g. opening/closing comments or viewing a different community), The screen changes, it swipes down to reveal the old screen, then switches back to the new screen. It's very disorienting. Anyone else or just me?

The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine,

Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen.

Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,

Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,

Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.

Here it is—"nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."

Three?

Oh me . . .

I guess it's not as perfect

As I thought it would be.

I don't know very well how the legislative process works, but to the best of my understanding, the last step involves a vote where we decide whether to pass a bill. A simple majority means it passes, otherwise it's rejected. This leads to an interesting (and possibly dangerous) dynamic where the government can be very different depending on whether or not the winning party has a majority. It means that when we have a majority, it can lead to what we call "tyranny of the majority". It also means that there's very little difference in how much influence a smaller party can have between having a single MP until the point where they can team up with another party to form a majority. It means that even if we get proportional voting for selecting MPs, we might still need to vote strategically in order to either ensure or prevent a majority government, or to encourage a specific coalition government.

Do we have any potential solutions for this? Or did I maybe misunderstand how things work and this isn't actually a problem?
