  • So, if I’m reading this correctly, the votes were tallied and the initial ranking was placed on the left side from most votes at the top and least votes to the bottom.

    The candidate with the least votes is eliminated and then the people who voted for them either get moved to the candidate with their next highest preference or to the nebulous “nobody” at the bottom if they have no other preference remaining.

    This continues with the position for some candidates changing as their total number of votes changes. Eventually the top candidate receives the minimum number of votes to qualify for a position; in this case that looks like 1/5 of the votes as their are 5 positions open.

    Any further votes that would be given to them are instead passed to the next highest preferred candidate until there are only 5 candidates remaining who all qualify for the positions.

    What a fantastically clear representation of a complex process!






  • Just want to weigh in on Resolve. I was able to get the free version running on Mint, but the free version can’t do H.264. I then bought Resolve Studio, but activating the license did not work so I ended up on Windows for video editing.

    I also had to switch back to Windows for Affinity, as I have been using Photoshop for years and I have yet to find another piece of software (excluding Affinity) I can move at speed in.

    Once I get the content creation off Windows, I can probably leave it behind for good.

    That would mean that all werewolves would eventually become extinct as they could not reproduce. Their lineage would be in constant decline.

    Now, if you instead make it that only OLD werewolves can infect others you can have the same limit on sales with a reasonable excuse as to why they don’t overrun the world from exponential growth. Something like it takes years of transformations before the infection can change their genetics enough to be passed along through a bite.





  • Actually, I think that one at least has some history to it.

    The disk drive was one of the first ways to store information between computer sessions as the first computers didn’t have built in storage. You would create a program, run it, and then when you shut the computer off it was gone. Since the disk drive was used to store programs for later, or “save” them, the icon was born from the physical object.

    Sharing, conversely, doesn’t really have a real world example to base the icon on. Maybe two hands exchanging things? Perhaps two arrows to illustrate the ability for things to go both ways? Maybe a set of interconnected dots to show the connection between things? Any of them could work, so the iconography is less clear.
