From crack reporter Jon King over at MichiganAdvance, Another Day, Another Election Interference: more voting obfuscation for the ever-unstable GOP…...
This is what happens when you promise you'd protect a country if they gave up their nukes, and then you don't protect that country when they get invaded.
Sure, but don't make promises if you're not gonna keep them. I'm all for nonproliferation, and I see the failure to help defend Ukraine to be a big problem in when convincing other countries they don't need nukes.
There are so many layers of fuckery here. For instance, 1. Bobonic Paige isn't a thing, 2. Plague doctors with scythes weren't superadvanced reptiles spreading poison during the middle ages, 3. The bubonic plague isn't viral anyways, 4. What the fuck are you taking about????
I wish I could reproduce it. Somehow running it in split screen (which goes force it into vertical) caused it to stay vertical even after I opened OSRS by itself. But, no matter what I've tried since I can't get it to do it again.
I think that's the funniest part. Like, as far as I know, the regular Assistant uses the same approach to handling data that buzzword AI things use, a neural network. But branding (and potentially internal company politics) is weird, so they decided to kneecap Assistant in order to make Gemini look better on release.
Right now I'm just designing pre-built rollercoasters in order to fill out my quick options when I'm playing the "real" game. I'm focusing on small, cheap coaster types since you really only have the ability to build expensive coasters after you're well on your way to beating the scenario.
While there's already plenty of pre-built wooden rollercoasters, here's a pair in designed that nest inside each other.
I'm having loads of fun! There's something weirdly satisfying about playing a scenario and being able to plop down a coaster you already designed. It somehow makes it feel more "official" than custom designing one during that game.
That being said, when you custom make one during the game, you can make it match the landscape and even go underground, so there's different "advantages."
If you live in New Hampshire, I suggest you call your state legislators to support this bill. Approval Voting is a very small change that goes a long way! If you don't live in New Hampshire, send this to someone who does!
RCV fails the Sincere Favorite Criterion. People claim that it's safe to vote honestly under RCV, but that's actually not true. Sometimes you're better-off by demoting your favorite or even not voting at all This stems from RCV's non-monotonicity problem, where increasing support for a candidate can cause them to do worse (or vice versa). This is an unacceptable failure.
If you want to see some of the whacky results RCV can produce, play around with this spacial election simulation tool. I'm not kidding when I say this is the first result I got, which I set up in literally five seconds while blind to the RCV calculation. The green candidate has three completely separate win regions and they're not even inside any of them. When green is obviously the most popular candidate, they lose. That's completely unacceptable.
I'm not sure what you're on about with approval voting having extra steps compared to choose one. If anything, RCV is the one with extra steps. Even in the previous link, RCV is noticably slower to calculate.
Approval is used in both Fargo and St. Louis. The number of votes people tend to cast depends on how many candidates are running. The 2021 St. Louis primary had 4 candidates and voters averaged 1.56 votes cast. Since it would be moronic to vote for all 4 candidates, a likely vote distribution would have been something like 50% 1 vote, 40% 2 votes, 10% 3 votes. The 2022 Fargo election had similar results, with elections averaging 1.6 and 3 votes per ballot. In large fields, you can get some very high number of votes.
That's not what they did in the 2020 primary. Only a small number of people cast safety votes for Biden when they were given them freedom to vote for as many people as the liked.
Hard agree! Those are rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up! It's my understanding that 5 member districts is the smallest you can go and still be functionally impossible to gerrymander.
Okay, but like, the woman is still on the right side? Like, she's clearly not okay with the people behind her, so she's still got good opinions. So long as she follows through and also admonishes the protesters, she's right both times.
The state legislature is trying to make it harder for the people to have a say in their democracy. Vote “No!” Retain the right to amend the constitution, or else the bar will be set so high only the legislature will get to propose amendments!...
