Can you explain Gerrymandering? I still don't get it.

Imagine you have five people. Two of them are total idiots and want to watch "Speed 2: Cruise Control" on DVD, and 3 of them have good taste in movies and want to watch "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" on Blu-Ray. If you hold an honest vote, your quintet will rightly watch "Robin Hood: Men in Tights."

If, however, you convince the group to subdivide their votes by location and count the couch, the chair, and the bean bag as three total voting zones, when all three people who want to watch "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" are on the couch, and each of the two people on the chair and bean bag constituting the pathetic minority that wants to see "Speed 2: Cruise Control" are in their own distinct zones, then the vote will be 2:1 for "Speed 2: Cruise Control" and you will end up watching the inferior film, despite the majority of your group knowing better.

Thankfully, this type of devious and deceitful act is illegal in anything larger than deciding which movie to watch, so surely it can never happen anywhere important like politics.

That sounds about right for Mythbusters.

- Blendo was put together before Mythbusters was a thing - Blendo was so strong and dangerous (for throwing debris into the audience) that The Boys were asked to withdraw it in exchange for a co champion title - they re-entered Blendo years later when the protective wall was much higher. It was once again asked to be withdrawn for a co champion title for the same reason. - copy cat Blendos started appearing and would tear each other apart - Blendo is in the robot hall of fame - Blendo is too strong and powerful

Blendo cannot be stopped.

fun fact shared by Adam Savage:

NSync was touring the ILM workshop (during the making of the Star Wars prequels). The model makers were used to big name visitors and had been told not to interact with the guests.

NSync (without Timberlake at the time) were admiring the models when suddenly they shouted “DEADBLOW!!” when they saw the robot in the workshop, and then they saw Grant, and proceeded to lose their collective minds. They were all fans of Battlebots and took pics with him.

NSync, one of the biggest boybands of the 90s, fanboyed over Grant Imahara.

Grant was a judge on Battlebots in 2018. Two years later, Battlebots renamed the Best Design Award in honor of him, and it is now called the Grant Imahara Award for Best Design. His legacy lives on.

Subs are so fun to play with. All you have to do is hint at what you might do, or back them into a corner with a look, or grab their wrist in a certain way and they’re a wide-eyed mess.

me writing action: Her legs pounded against the earth, the familiar jolt grounding her like nothing else could. Magic, gods, royalty—she didn’t know anything about that. But running? That’s something she’d been doing since day one.
