Derp, we both missed the obvious one. How stupid of us: Elevator
Via some sort of implement that helps such an ascent. Like a ladder. Or maybe an escalator. Those were the only ones I could think of.
Apart from the jetlag it's not too bad, actually. I've had worse jobs that didn't take me to the far corners of the world.
For those who didn't know: This is Robert Plant, the vocalist of Led Zeppelin. A dove spontaneously landed on his hand during a concert. They (the doves, not the band) were released from cages at the end if Stairway to Heaven, and one of them decided to land instead of flying off.
Now we'll see if the following period of stupid headlines about stupid people doing stuff in support of their stupid candidate will be 2 months or 4 years.
In 2009 there were like three people in line in front of me. Must've taken at least 30 seconds before an available election official could check my ID. It was extremely early in the early voting period, and there was only one place open that early. I was going to be abroad for the next month, so I had to vote that day.
When not voting early, I can't recall there ever being a line.
"2009 election, you say??"
Norway.
I played a lot of D&D back in the day, and while I'm normally not a superstitious person, we did have a dice jail for poorly performing dice. That light blue d20 was a repeat offender.
Yes; pollsters and advertising platforms. They've got to be raking it in these days.
Never played the futuristic ones. What appealed to me with the anno games was the atmosphere of sails and settlers.

Yes, and no. They estimated a slightly higher chance for a Hillary win over a Donald win, but they were well within the margin of polling error, and they have been for every election. Plus people have a tendency of over-valuing a "51% chance to win".
While this is good news, it could mean nothing.
EDIT: 538 explained it better than I ever could:
"Statistically, too, there is no meaningful difference between a 50-in-100 chance and a 49-in-100 chance. Small changes in the available polling data or settings of our model could easily change a 50-in-100 edge to 51-in-100 or 49-in-100. That’s all to say that our overall characterization of the race is more important than the precise probability — or which candidate is technically ahead.”

I'm not that picky in terms of resolution, but I am when it comes to FPS.
But in all honesty, 2k@60 would be fine too.
"IT Support".
Shore support specialist for this production system (server cluster) used offshore. I spend most of my time "available, on standby".

Parents know which sound to attach to this picture: Blunt force impacting something moist and soft - the sound of a soggy rolled up diaper falling to the floor.
Came here to check myself. Also, I think Georgia is in Asia, as it's in the Caucasus region.

I'm WFH with a pretty chill work day except I'm on standby 24/7 in case of something stupid happens at work. So not much would change for me, honestly.
I learned a while back that his distinctive voice is not actually his voice. It's one he puts on as it works well for the characters he tends to play.
