Bernhard Lederer 3 Times Certified Observatory Chronometer is beautiful.

After a hiatus of more than a decade, I'm back on the Iain M Banks train. Currently two-thirds of the way through Matter. This is on the back of The Hydrogen Sonata a few months ago.

After this, I'll probably get onto Dr No by Percival Everett. I've well and truly become a fan of his work over the past 12 months.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on what "sabotaged definitively into the realm of the unknowable" might look like. I assume there are bipartisan observers and scrutineers at all ballot counting locations.

"sabotaged definitively into the realm of the unknowable" is the sort of claim I'd expect the Republicans to make in the event of it becoming apparent that they've lost.
