I believe you dropped an important “not”

Ah, in my mind there was an odd number of EC electors so an even split wasn’t possible without 3rd party electors.

How is a third party winning any EC delegates?

I’m not suddenly about to put a Harris billboard on my lawn

Do they have billboards saying “reluctantly voting Harris out of necessity”?

The distinction between “government regulation” on one hand and “community-devised rules, local monitoring and graduated sanctions for rule violations” on the other seems entirely artificial to me. In both cases rules and enforcement are set up to avoid the tragedy. The latter just uses more feel-good words to describe local government.

In Italian it’s written nuraghi (in the plural) so I’d argue it’s all the other places that are wrong.

It turns out the diversity is coming from inside the house.

If you get a sane voting system out of all this then it just might have all been worth it. But it’s not how I would have gone about getting there…

The two party system is an inevitable consequence of the FPTP election system. Replace that, and you can have multiple parties. Otherwise, you might get a short period of chaos with multiple parties which then settles down to the two winners.

Right, so you’re just arbitrarily changing words. That’s very nice.

That seems to be what they’re doing here too. It reads almost normal to me except for not writing out “ðe” fully which is pointlessly jarring.

Why do you persist in writing “ð” rather than “ðe” for “the”? And… Do you really say æsþetic and not æstetic? Where are you from to do that?

FWIW, do not support, even as a brother up north. English spelling is broken but there are more glaring problems to fix first.

They’re still missing the “e” from “ðe”. That’s what bothers me.

It wouldn’t have worked. You’d never have gotten every single last case and then the exponential growth would have started again. Or, if that had somehow magically worked, the virus would have come back from outside.

There were no simple solutions.

This is a good read: https://ourworldindata.org/un-population-2024-revision

The new estimated global peak population is 10.3B in 2084. But now, looking at the break down by region, you may be talking about North America? That graph looks wildly 3rd world… If you edit the graph to show US and Nigeria’s 2024 projections side by side it’s samepicture.jpg

Go home Clippy, you’re drunk

“Algorithmic timeline” might be appropriately specific?

We live in a post-truthiness world. Nobody cares any more if the lies seem plausible.

I rode from the UK to northern Italy with nothing but an early hiking go’s unit that had no map. Just an arrow pointing to Torino. The trip over the Alps was very random.
