debate facts

Filed under: Uncategorized — Alex @ 8:40 pm

Lately, it has been interesting to follow the presidential debates. As media fact checks reveal, not all statements uttered during the debates are factually correct. This is disappointing for the viewer, who may want to get a clearer understanding of each candidate’s position.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this fact check occurred in real time and the results could directly impact the flow of the debate? Maybe a team of researchers could continuously examine and verify any claim made and report results back to the debate moderator. If a claim was found to be false, the moderator could call the candidate on it right then and there.

Alternatively, siren sounds and/or intrusively blinking yellow or red lights may be suitable.

Geodreieck?

I was recently in a similar predicament as Simon describes in No “Geodreieck” in the UK?, the ARISTO brand. I have not been able to find the mentioned tool locally, nor at the usual online locations here in the states.

Very surprising.

It actually wasn’t easy to find a German office supplies online store that ships worldwide either. Klammeraffe24.de appears to be the solution. Let’s see how long delivery will take.

Update: They arrived on July 25.
