Try turning the House of Representatives off and on and see if that works.

@glennf did you try placing your House of Representatives closer to a window?

What about turning off other nearby Houses of Representatives?

@glennf it reminds me of the Futurama episode where the "judge" was a 68k Mac, and it bombed in the middle of judging, and Fry yells "Press Ctrl-Alt-Del!"

@glennf Could we turn it off and maybe not turn it back on again?
Show threadMichael GemarJan 5, 2023
@thegaryhawkins @glennf I think that’s the goal of about 20 GOP reps.

@glennf restoring the backup from dec 31st, when it still worked, is not an option, I suppose?

@glennf It's not the House, it's the Republicans. Don't make it look as if Dems are part of the problem -- that just helps the "Washington is broken" crowd.
Show threadJon RJan 5, 2023
@glennf @dambaras I mean, the Democrats are not entirely not broken. Dark money donations, insider stock trading and such. But next to the Republicans, they look like genius saints.

@JonR @glennf Ok, but that's not relevant to this week's developments.
Show threadJon RJan 6, 2023
@dambaras @glennf I concur. The corruption of some of the Democrats (not all; some of the congressional Democrats are excellent, including my rep) has contributed to the big picture brokenness, but this week’s shitshow is entirely on the R’s, who are collectively displaying the moral fiber and impulse control of rabid… hyenas? No, that’s unfair to hyenas. Well, you know what I’m trying to say.

@glennf That is the problem with the House — they turn it off every two years, and it might not boot up again. The Senate has 100% uptime.
