The sensible compromise is Comic Neue. Futura is way more overused anyway.

Over 20 years ago I wrote a master's dissertation (STEM subject) in Comic Sans. No one told me it was a bad font. Apparently the examiners laughed themselves silly. But I still got distinction for it. But then scientists love Times New Roman in cramped dual column papers because it makes things look more complicated than they are. Comic Sans - as a sans serif font - is apparently very readable by many dyslexics.

I'm partial to the dyslexie font myself. I mean the theory behind it helping with dyslexia has apparently been sturdily refuted, but I just like the way it looks.

Tekton is the best handwritten style font, and is also readable to people with dyslexia because of the dots on the letter (originally by Frank Ching's use of a draughtsman's pen).

That explains why I reacted to the previous entries in this series by trying to violently stab out my eyes. You can just feel the smug "I'm a sensible and respected civil servant who knows the REAL truth" vibes greasily wafting off it.

Bobby Deluxe posted:With all of the shows coming out right now its like they bought the rights to trek and then immediately went 'right, how do we make it completely different from that?'  If I'm buying Star Trek, I want to buy Star Trek. Also I think the lack of a regular TV slot hurt Discovery...there's no way in hell I was gonna sign up for CBS' boutique streaming service just to take a flyer on this. Especially given that the remainder of the CBS lineup is  in broadcast form.

I was doing some observations in the back of a school laboratory a few years ago and noticed one particular teacher's slides were incredibly readable from the back compared to most. I went and spoke to him when he had a break about what he was doing as I couldn't put my finger on it: he was using comic sans and also using dark grey font on a 'post it note yellow' background. He said he'd worked with a dyslexic kid in one of his classes to find a format that was most readable to him and that was the result. Of course there are various forms of dyslexia and one solution doesn't work for all.

I don’t get why people are voting for this as “best of a bad bunch” or whatever Surely no deal is impossible now because of letwin and it’ll be GE and new talks/vote on this vs rescind a50? I’m so lost in this posh pissing match labyrinth

I dunno, I’m inclined to believe it if a civil servant is saying the whole thing is bullshit and the preparations are pure theatre intended to scare MPs while at the same time doing very little to address actual risks.

The whole damned thing needs voting down, not just the programme motion. It is a disastrous piece of legislation, and the more the legal academics look over it, the worse it gets.

^^^ Cart before horse. Voting down the programme motion gives the analysts more time to find the traps.

If this bill is passed unamended we will exit the transition period with no deal on 31/12/20. And it will not be passed amended because it won't be voted on, meaning that we leave with no deal and no transition period either next Thursday or on 31/1/20, depending on whether the EU accept the extension request.

Pleased to see Trekchat has proceeded throughout the day. Disco isn't super Trek and it trades too heavily on "Wow it's Spock! Look, you know Spock!" and so forth, but honestly I enjoy it enough. I stan Tilly extremely, too, and I'll watch basically for as long as she's in the show. Oh I guess Parliament is happening lol guess poo poo's about to pop off in an hour or so.

Pesmerga posted:Not sure about that, if the already identified ones aren’t sufficient to sway the Labour Brexiters, nothing is. Most of the rebels seem to be talking about how they want to vote for a second reading so that the deal can be amended and improved, because it looks bad if they're just outright rejecting it. The trouble is Johnson absolutely has momentum with this sudden popup deal, especially in the media, which is why the brakes need putting on it Once the excitement gets deflated and the story moves onto an analysis of what's in the bill (or at least moves away from PLUCKY BORIS FIGHTS TO GET BREXIT DONE AT THE 11TH HOUR THAT'S A WW1 REFERENCE BTW ARE COUNTRY), it makes it easier for those MPs who are being pressured (by the tories and the whole media traitor narrative) to step away from it since they don't have to make a snap decision. It doesn't guarantee anything but it sure makes it easier to fight once the ticking clock scenario is eliminated

Once that happens there is literally nothing Parliament can do to stop No Deal, especially not if the Tories win a majority on the back of Getting Brexit Done.
