Have fun! The Chainsmokers were not the band that got me most excited at Lolla 2019 but I caught them anyway and they were great.

This story has come to it’s conclusion now, with the surprise twist being that Reform still ended up on the ballot paper anyway.
1 seat = a majority in one form/class
Under proportional representation, two seats go from LAB to DEM
LAB: 15~ seats?
GRE: 9 seats, including my own form
REF: 9 seats, including 6(?) forms in my year group, a majority for us 
DEM: 4~ seats?
CON: 2 seats
Could’ve been worse. I had a nice chat with my Maths teacher who seemed to handle a lot of this counting process, and he did note that in the younger years reform only got votes because it’s the ‘funny’ option for them. Makes me worry for my year group, who definitely vote for farage’s populism

I just accidentally send a bug report ticket to IOI from my working mail account 
And since I have some time off till the end of next week, any mail that will come from IOI to this mail now will get an automatic respond that I am on my holidays. Sorry IOI, I will not answer to any mails before June 15th!
And this is a proof why I really needed these holidays, my brain is not working anymore

Today I feel deeply embarrassed because I’m at the office with a dear childhood friend and colleague. His brother has been arrested for very serious crimes (he is a rural guard who extorted farmers; if they didn’t pay, their property would be stolen and their trees cut down). My friend knows that I am aware of the situation, especially since we reported the news in the newspaper I write for. However, I avoid bringing up the topic. I feel very sorry for him (not for his brother, that deserves to go to prison). Have you ever been in a similar situation?

Today I am travelling to my cousin’s house at Mannheim (Germany), I just switched the DB train to SBB train at Cologne station. At first I was scared as I didn’t know Koln station, but later I found it is the same 
, also I learned all train station name has a “hbf” as suffix.
Here is a picture taken at Koln station few mins back - the weather is nice.
DB and SBB seat comparision (both trains are not crowded today):

You passed my hometown 
Cologne main station can be scary, because it’s kinda big. And ugly, actually. But at least it has the Kölner Dom in it’s view

If you’re looking to help a good cause and/or just bored can you take this survey?
We don’t really care what you write about the robots except for the open ended question about how you feel about having them around. Robots take jobs. We’re all hammering that point as #1. Hire people not machines. Then some of us have tried to have some fun by also putting insane stuff in there as a second point. Examples include “the robots are midget sized and midgets are thieves. Those machine will not only steal jobs but also peoples travel documents and watches,” “are you not worried about the tiny machines over waxing the floor bc they think it’s funny when humans fall down?” “Those things are much better with blow jobs bc they never need rest. They will be breaking up many travelers marriages.” << you get the idea.
Please help.

I get frequent electrocution from my office laptop when I take a short break from laptop. It is very light though just a tick on my fingers.
My office provided HP elitebook (metallic body) in India (compatible with Indian charger) but here I use a converted for european plug point - maybe a difference on electricity may cause this shocks (since I never get shock in India) - maybe some static electricity.

I don’t know where else to put this, but…
Over the past few days I’ve been working my way through this 3-hour critique of every single gameplay system, game “feature”, and story plot point of the recent Kill the Justice League game – plus how it relates to the Arkham series as a whole. (I found this dude’s channel after seeing a neat teaser for an ambitious analysis of Alan Wake 2 he’s releasing soon)
It’s honestly a really good and informative watch, as he covers how the character’s archetypes reflect or go against their comic source material, how each character plays and the “skill” systems in it are, all the missions you have to go on, and how the Live-Service “play this forever” model affects every single part of this game from the gameplay systems and looter-shooter elements to characters being relegated to permanent “menu vendors” or plot points in the game not substantial enough because of the game’s refusal to nail a specific tone.
It’s also sad. Because we know this company could and should be able to do better, and it’s obvious what this game’s inevitable fate will be… Just how long it or if it’ll even get there…

Have only played the Arkham games, but I did read the plot of Gotham Knights, and while I don’t like the direction they took for the protagonists, the story they used of there basically being a war between Gotham’s two biggest secret societies - The League of Assassins and The Court of Owls - would actually make a really good story in a different medium.
