What is your ideal congressional election system, particularly in terms of curbing Gerrymandering?

With the recent partisan Gerrymandering wars in the US, we are quickly heading into a system where the vast majority of house election outcomes are essentially pre-determined, rendering many voters trivial.

I was hoping to become more informed on possible solutions to this issue, and in the process help others become more informed too. Personally, in no particular order, I have heard of these:

- Proportional Representation

- Uncap the house

- Keep the current system but ban/curb Gerrymandering some other way (such as requiring every state to have multi-party, independent redistricting commissions)

- Ranked Choice Voting (could be mixed in with any of the other previous solutions)

And of course, many more proposed solutions exist. Based on your own knowledge on the matter, what do you personally consider the best solution and why?

Hi everyone! I've been working on my own wind ensemble arrangement of music from "How to Train Your Dragon" for fun. I'm aiming for a generally college-level arrangement. For the Timpani part, I have begun by keeping it essentially unchanged from how it is written in the film score as I'm not a percussionist.

I'm just wondering how bad this would be as written. Any huge red flags? How sweaty would the timpanist get? I know they are expected to pedal quite quickly, but the key change at measure 69 seems pretty severe.

Thank you for the help!
