You may have noticed that we haven't been feeling ourselves on here recently.
Sadly, our account was hijacked in February and you may have received some cryptocurrency spam instead of our usual posts.
We've finally managed to regain access, so we should be back to normal now!

I've been pointed at something surprising in the Venezuelan election results according to the CNE.
Maduro polled 5,150,092/10,058,774, which is 51.1999971%. González polled 4,445,978, or 44.1999989%. Others polled 462,704, or 4.6000039%.
Those are... unusually round numbers.
