Wow, you beat me to posting this exact quote!

For an improvement on the "1 seat for every 10% of the vote you get" system you mention, take a look at the system Cambridge, MA uses for their at-large city council election [1]. Citizens cast ranked-choice ballots, and through an iterative process each of the 9 councilors are elected if they receive over 10% of the vote. (Excess votes for winners and votes for candidates below a certain threshold are transferred in each iteration.)

Gmail makes it very easy (via the "Filter messages like these") to filter all messages from a mailing list. You can apply a label and skip the inbox so you just browse the list when you need to.

That's it! Thanks, the picture was on my gf's phone and I couldn't reference it.

Lots of city apartments don't have bicycle storage. Lots of bikes in cities get stolen when left outside.

I've been seeing these around neighborhoods in London - small half oval bicycle storage lockers the size of a street parking space that can hold 10 bikes (can't recall the name at the moment).

There's some bug ending games early, so this is pretty much a button mashing contest. Also, when games end early, it doesn't properly declare the winner. I assume something's broken in detecting if the board has no moves: http://i.imgur.com/4XBGCzI.png
