Read a random definition: adulterine

A quick definition of Dialogus de Scaccario:

Dialogus de Scaccario: A book written during the reign of King Henry II that explains how the Court of Exchequer works. It is written like a conversation between a teacher and a student. It was probably written by Richard Fitz Nigel, who was a bishop and a former Treasurer of the Exchequer. The book is special because it explains in great detail how the government works, and was probably used by people who were learning how to work in the Exchequer.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dialogus de Scaccario is a historical treatise written during the reign of Henry II about the Court of Exchequer. It is set up in imaginary dialogue form between a master and a disciple. The book explains the machinery of government in minute details.

Example: The Dialogus de Scaccario was probably written by Richard Fitz Nigel, the bishop of London under Richard I, and the former Treasurer of the Exchequer. It is an anonymous book, but there can be little doubt that we are right in ascribing it to Richard Fitz Neal.

Explanation: The example illustrates that the authorship of the Dialogus de Scaccario is attributed to Richard Fitz Nigel, who was a high officer of state and a trusted counsellor of a powerful king. The book was written to explain the machinery of government to all whom it may concern, including the numerous clerks who were learning their business in the exchequer. The book stands out as a unique book in the history of medieval England, perhaps in the history of medieval Europe.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
