Anyone arguing FPTP is better than ranked choice is stupid or has sinister motives.

I feel like if you make point of sale systems, any time you’re adding negative values, you really ought to make sure you can’t cheese it haha
But I’m so glad they did, thanks for sharing.
That’s is so excellent. Good to know QA is non-existent in many facets of life haha
Oh my fucking god. Especially how fucking casual he is after is happens 🙈
You can definitely skip learning the local language these days if you’re just a short-term tourist. Translate anything written with OCR, and for most other things just smile, point, fingers for numbers, and again machine translation is totally fine for simple things.
If you actually assume people can speak English though, that’s not cool.
Fortnightly seems to be the norm here in Australia
Be mad that income tax is unnecessarily difficult to deal with. As has been pointed out by others online a lot recently, the US makes personal income taxes hard, where other countries you can fill it out in minutes if you have no deductions, and less than an hour if you do (and have kept good records).
No one likes paying taxes (usually) but since the process is so painless I don’t hear people complaining about income tax that much (outside of the right-wing media in my country, Australia)
Unless it’s Etymology Nerd, in which case the answer is “I made a creole of my bird and dolphin languages.” and it’s glorious.
Can recommend his videos, they are excellent.
Oh sorry, my point was that East Asia does it YYYY-MM-DD, with the exception of maybe some different delimiter and leading zeros depending on preference, they already coincidentally do it the ISO way!
May I introduce East Asia? They also like to do addresses top down
An email client that can’t open email files? Hmmmmmm.
Is this something to do with the fact it’s routing all emails via Microsoft servers?
I am not a developer
The Key Word is every month was a record setter. May the gods have mercy on us. We’re so fucked
I’m not saying china doesn’t have problems, but it’s this kind of attitude that sends us down the path of us vs them that I think is toxic and leads to nationalism.
I have no issue with people criticising things in other countries, just not be absolute about it.
There most certainly are many not fake things in China that are great. Friendly people, wonderful food, natural wonders (this and perhaps some others excepted, but still), beautiful villages etc.
Just as there are bad things too, historical and contemporary.
Only a sith deals in absolutes.
“Oh this is whack, the park authority/ Chinese government faking a waterfall? That’s pretty shit.” 👍 An opinion I think many could agree with and is a valid criticism.
“Everything in China is fake” 👎 No it isn’t.
The graphic made me double take this also. I’m like, what new fresh hellish projection are we in for now.
I mean, trump pardoned war criminals. So I do not see why not (IANAL).
Most people would agree yes, they should be pardoned. I’m not against the idea of pardoning completely, just the idea of it being a single person questionable, since it seems a bit risky.
Someone could have a political opponent killed and then just pardon the assassin.
Doesn’t seem like a sensible thing to have around.
How are pardons a thing. Seems incredibly ripe for abuse.
This is a problem I’d very much like governments to sink a bit of money into. Sure, we don’t have 100% efficient energy storage, but we certainly have technology that does the job. Liquid air energy storage, fly wheels, thermal sand batteries etc, can be installed anywhere and are available right now. Not to mention pumped hydro if you have suitable terrain.
There’s a lot of stuff that we could build, and honestly, we just need to build it, now, even if it’s not profitable, or super efficient. There’s a bunch of solar and wind around the world not being built, or curtailed because prices go negative when there’s no one to store it.
The free market sucks. We need government intervention to do the things the profit motive won’t.
The only issue is they have not enough storage capacity for the excess.
Long answer, it’s complicated as usual. Short answer: single member electorates.
Not surprisingly, the senate (our upper house at the federal level) is much more representative than the lower house, because they have very large, multi-member electorates.
If you live in a safe seat, your vote only counts for election funding (last I checked $2ish per 1st preference).
