Thanks! I’m half embarrassed to ask a question like this but it’s one of those things you can always google on the internet but the answer doesn’t get to stick with you because there is no human factor involved in passing the information down to you

Yes. The Senate is the upper chamber with 100 senators (two per state). Respectively the lower house has 435 representatives.

Our Senate is comprised of two Senators from each State. This is set in the US Constitution. Our House of Representatives is supposed to be 1 per xx number of people in each State per the US Constitution but the total number of representatives is set by Law. In other words, it would take a Constitutional Amendment to change the Senate but not to change the House of Representatives. We really need to increase the size of the House to reflect the disparity in representation ratios between Wyoming, which is our least populous State, and California, our most populous State.

The amendments is how you patch the Constitution, the later being some sort of OS and the laws - apps running on it

Do you mean to add more representation to Wyoming?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

10% of the population represents 41% of the power in the house according to something I read a while back.

Covers more that just what you are asking, but ... Laws and Sausages - Lesson One: Part 1[^] is a pretty details coverage of how the US system(s) are supposed to work together.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Believe me, many American's couldn't tell you the difference between the House, Senate, and Congress.

So MS has slowly but surely been migrating all Windows settings (control panel and beyond) to this new UI type whose name changes every few months so I won't even try to name it, all under Settings...and then search for it, otherwise if you just try to walk the hierarchy you'll never find it as it seems to change from one update to the next.
So yesterday I tried to change a system from DHCP to static IP. No problem, I've done that a million times on different systems.
But now the familiar TCP/v4 dialog box has been replaced with "one of those"...and while my subnet is typically set to 255.255.0.0 (yes, rather than 255.255.255.0), I did not notice that the caption for that field is asking for the "Subnet prefix length", rather than Subnet Mask (as has been the case since Windows started supporting TCP/IP). Couldn't save. Just a generic message, "Unable to save", or words to that effect, in red, near the top of the window. Didn't say which field was in error, and the message was completely useless. It's only when I compared with another Windows system that I realized that instead of having 255.255.0.0, my other (working) system was using 16. Changed that, saved, everybody can ping each other in both directions. Good to go.
a) I'm not sure why MS felt that change in format was necessary
b) Would it have killed them to
(i) show a better error message
(ii) failing that, place a red "*" next to the field in error as they're doing everywhere else these days?

Windows 11 went back to the traditional subnet mask.

DHL went back to Monday again.
Ten minutes later, DHL threw the package at the door and ran away.
Fortunately, it was well packaged, and undamaged - so I have a watch on my wrist again!

And here I thought I was getting a rant about how Microsoft added their new icons to the Courier New font.

Especial venom is directed to UPS (Ur Parcel Smashed) who can't deliver anything here without sitting on it or using it as a football, and DHL (Don't Have Logistics) who were supposed to deliver a parcel yesterday, but changed that to the 9th, then the 12th, then back to the 9th, then told me it had been handed to Evan (because they gave me the delivery details for a different customers package), then back to the 12th, and just now decided it's the 10th instead.
Some are OK - Yodel appear to work fine, DPD tend to dump and run but that's OK where we are, and Amazon Prime Delivery can manage pretty much anything and do some really long hours.
Let's not mention Fedex as I tend to start foaming at the mouth and swearing ...
But how can the big players get their logistics and computer tracking systems so badly wrong? Or is it just me?

Amazon handed my $365 motherboard off to UPS. *sob*

My sincere condolences. How many pieces did it arrive in?
