  • There were a few offhand things Trump said before the election that sure sounded like he was letting slip that the election was rigged - but at the time I chalked them up to his usual overconfident bullshit. Some guy made a video a few months ago highlighting some of the statistical anomalies shown in the article. I thought he made a very persuasive case for vote manipulation but lacked technical evidence. Now that’s coming out as well. I sure hope this plays out like it should. All it takes is one senator to formally challenge the legitimacy of the election and start an investigation.













  • Søren Sørensen, who came up with the concept of pH, wasn’t clear on what the letter “p” meant. It does involve powers of 10 and can be measured using electrical potentials, so the best guesses are “potential” or “power”, or several words that mean “power” in other languages and also happen to start with “p”. Bottom line, we don’t know, and unless somebody discovers more of Sørensen’s notes or a way to speak with the dead, we never will.







  • I don’t think DM is a trademark, but if you have other information feel free to provide it. Looking through older discussion forums on this topic, the only semi-definitive answer I’ve found is in this 2021 thread where somebody referred to a now-defunct US gov’t trademark search link, where they said they found a lot of "DM"s registered but none related to D&D. I’m inclined to believe it was a working link at that time and they weren’t just making shit up.

    Personally I use the term DM because I’ve mostly played D&D, so to me it’s more natural.
