According to Chinese Human Geography textbooks, native Mexicans are mongoloid and thus the same race as East Asians.

Not that I support this obsolete racial classification; just a relevant fun fact.

Cool, that can happen independently of amending the Speaker-ing procedure.

as a master in parts of speech from the holy aatubey school of hypercorrection i demand you gerundify “gaslight” into “gaslighting”

Not the norm, but not unexpected at all either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Brackett_Reed#Spanish-American_War_and_resignation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_House_of_Representatives_sit-in#June_23:_Sit-in_ends

oh dear b-but that’ll ruin my laconism

What’s the holistic view, then?

We don’t pay these people, they do.

What’s your alternative to having the representatives elect one member to exclude from debates and decide when to recess?

I don’t see why it isn’t. This is the norm everywhere else. For a slightly extreme example, Prime Ministers can do the same thing. You have to have someone decide when to recess. If representatives disagree, they just vacate 'em. To counterbalance, the Speaker does not usually participate in floor debates, and is mostly responsible for other procedural and administrative stuff as well.

It was a tacked-on retrofit of a planned ambitious interurban streetcar network, converted to a light rail system after a lot of it was already built. The trains don’t even use some of the built track. This used technology that was completely different from the rest of the network and only found there within all of Toronto. The sharp corners the cars weren’t particularly designed for effected loud shrieking guitarless metal heard far and wide, loud and clear at the Kennedy bus platforms. When it came time to decide the future of the line, the planners decided to blow it up and start it anew (well, turn it into a three-station extension to Line 2); among other things, all of the above plus relatively low usage and decades of inattention prior to the “what now?” discussions made their usual maintenance unprepared and inadept. In fact, just four months before the planned closure, a train derailed due to failures of track maintenance.
