We're off! In the second episode of Centraseiră, @Glüc da Dhi S.H. and I take you through the eleven teams contesting Leg 1 of the Talossan Cycling Association Tour 2023. (And we still have pretty slides. One for each team, in fact!)

Again, make liberal use of the timestamps! (I forgot about the audio cues but they shouldn't be needed this time -- there's much less random slide switching)


In this episode:
- Glüc decides he really likes naming TCAT teams after dinosaurs, after all;
- Lüc tries and fails to get more Dutch language praise out of Glüc;
- Glüc brags about rigging episode 1's credit prediction game;
- Lüc slags his sister's sprinter pick, said pick proceeds to win the next stage;
- Glüc manages to bait Lüc with terrible pizzas even without meaning to;
- Lüc is a big fan of riders he should really be rooting against.

But mostly:
- we present the rules of TCAT and this year's Giro d'Italia;
- we briefly discuss how the first stage went (...which was last Saturday, because I'm really slow at editing);
- we look ahead at the first week's other stages (...which are mostly all done by now, because I'm really slow at editing).

We hope you enjoy!

The prospective so nice we petitioned for him twice!

Mickeu ocså

Will do so when I get to my pc!

Should we start putting these on the Wittenberg news ticker, and maybe swap them out when the next C'hronica is released?

Yep! Expect the first results to come in after Saturday's inaugural time trial.

We'll also find out what riders each of us picked shortly before the stage begins (I think).

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 01, 2023, 11:26:20 AMYay!  I can't wait to listen to this!  Would it be okay with you if the MinCult promoted this on our social media?

We'd be delighted if you did :)

Glad to finally have time to listen to one of these, this was great.

Pedantic note, of course: you can totally do MMP with an unicameral EM200-style Cosă, by just postulating that each provincial-MC would hold 10 seat each, and the "pie" to allocate proportionally is 120 seats, with the maximum number of seats a list-MC can hold appropriately scaled down (so 12 seats instead of 20, presently).

Azul all, despite my best efforts at taking ages to edit this together, @Glüc da Dhi S.H. and I are proud to release the first installment of Centraseiră, a podcast dedicated to the Talossan Cycling Association Tour! (Also, we have slides.)

Feel free to skim through the parts you're most interested in: it's all timestamped, and I have inserted an audio cue when changing slides so you don't miss the on-screen explanations.


In this episode:
- Glüc tries to get Lüc to go do live commentary;
- Lüc accuses Giro of traveling through time to steal his Lido time trial idea;
- Glüc mispronounces Italian place names;
- Lüc is accused of being secretly Flemish;
- Glüc forgets that there was in fact no TCAT team named after a dinosaur;
- Lüc will eat a (probably) disgusting pizza if Glüc wins TCAT Giro.

But mostly:
- we present the rules of TCAT and this year's Giro d'Italia;
- we ramble on about cyclists and our 2022 picks;
- we give out free advice about your own TCAT team.

We both hope you enjoy listening/watching, and maybe consider joining TCAT when signups open this week! (it takes five minutes and you don't need to know anything about cycling!)

Right, everyone has been switched to the new version of the custom theme, featuring:

- icons that should work for everyone!
- Atkinson Hyperlegible, a font by the Braille Institute that's optimized for greater readability/legibility for low vision readers
- a few minor fixes here and there
- no more native "smileys" feature: feel free to 8) to your heart's content without it being converted to the sunglasses emoji

(This was mostly previously discussed on this thread which was actually opened to discuss post-Wittpocalypse glitches)

Feel free to use this thread for feedback and weirdness reporting, especially regarding the light version of the theme, which I haven't tested very extensively.

No issues with this, although the text of Lex.C.1.2.2.2 seems to suggest our opinion is not necessary.

Thank you. To be clear, I'm mostly concerned about not setting a precedent that could be abused later; I'm not disputing that this bill's substance was properly debated.

Might I ask you to go ahead and create a standalone thread for the bill? You can either transcribe the whole text, as Alexandreu did, or just link to it, as Üc did.

Approved.

Approved.
