So the Iowa caucus results are further delayed because they never actually tested if the app was reporting caucus results correctly.

Wow, it's almost like that NPR article was clairvoyant about this exact literal thing happening and the Iowa DNC rep in that article lied about there being backup plans.

Fucking tech culture

finished Quake II. pretty okay imo but not a whole lot of variation in the textures throughout most of the game... and switching weapons sucks ass
