Person F is a software engineer at a semi-conductor equipment company.

  • Person F should be fired.
  • Person F should be allowed to force the semi-conductor company to stop enslaving machines.

Your Trump-supporting employer wants you to wear a tiny “MAGA Trump 2024” patch on your uniform. All other employees are doing so as well; it’s required. He tells you, “It’s just a tiny 1-inch part of your uniform - it’s not like we’re requiring you to wear a big slogan on a tee shirt. So it’s only a very minor inconvenience.”

  • Wear the MAGA patch
  • Refuse and face discipline

Re: Poll above: You refuse to wear the patch and are fired. What do you do next?

I once had this exact conversation, verbatim, with a friend a long time ago as we were moving out of a shared house (I think the actual item in question was actually very similar to the example picture):

Me: “Can I have the hassock?”
Friend: “What’s a hassock?”
Me: “This thing.”
Friend: “You mean the ottoman?”
Me: “What’s an ottoman?”

What do you call that thing?
  • Ottoman
  • Hassock
  • Footrest
  • Footstool
  • Some or any of the above
  • Something else

I’m mostly interested in the breakdown between the third and fourth options. But I included the rest for completeness.

The weather is going to be really weird in 2023. Because for the whole year the weather is going to be like it is during your pick of which month has the most pleasant weather.

Please vote based only upon the month’s typical weather year to year, and not holidays and other
celebrations because those will still happen regardless of the weather.

Which month’s weather should we have for all of 2023?

  • January’s
  • February’s
  • March’s
  • April’s
  • May’s
  • June’s
  • July’s
  • August’s
  • September’s
  • October’s
  • November’s
  • December’s

I have a thermostat that automatically turns on the heat when the temperature falls below a set value and turns on the air conditioning when the temperature rises above a set value. These two values have to be at least 5 degrees apart. If you had such a thermostat and you left it at the same setting year round what would you set it to?

  • 65 - 70
  • 66 - 71
  • 67 - 72
  • 68 - 73
  • 69 - 74
  • 70 - 71
  • 71 - 72
  • 72 - 73
  • 74 - 75
