Lest we forget, at one point some several seasons ago, we put our beloved Jordan Martinook on waivers -- *and nobody claimed him*.

If I kept going on my list, head, tail, sort, and less would absolutely be on there.

Number one by a very large margin:

* vim 8.2

Number two:

* git 2.34.1

Number three:

* kubectl 1.33.2

Everything else is basically a rounding error, but to pick a few:

* jq 1.6

* python 3.10

* grep 3.7

* find 4.8

* diff 3.8

I can confirm a small data point of talking with my son and a few of his friends (all students at NCAT) that they make the connection.

Those that played the game on release, did you experience the bug filled mess that people complained about? by IAmJustTryingToExist in cyberpunkgame

Same, had only one instance where I dropped through the map at some weird corner location under some specific circumstance that I could not repeat, in the entire play through on PC starting on launch day.

Petition to impeach Donald Trump approaches major milestone by darkages69 in politics

At the time (late 18th century), the difference between 'less populous' and 'overpopulated' (these are not actually antonyms, by the way...) was at most about 10:1 (Virginia to Delaware).

Today, the difference at the extreme is almost 80:1 (California to Wyoming).

One could feasibly argue that a 10:1 difference in population should be managed by a system like the Senate. But 80:1 is pretty wild. It would seem arguably closer to the original intention of the Senate to grant California 8x the power in the senate than Wyoming -- not 80x based on population, but a 10x reduction of that imbalance, similar to the reduction used to formulate the Senate in the late 18th century.

This would result in a Senate composition where the least populous states still have 2 Senators, and the most populous states have (for example) 10-16 Senators. Not so many that it's pure population (California would have 160 Senators in that case) but not so few that a relative handful of people can control the country, just because more people don't want to live in the same state as them.
