If you would prefer a socialist party candidate the most logical choice is to pick whatever Democratic/Republican candidate is most willing to enact voting method reform, e.g. ranked choice voting.
Because voters are incentivized to pick one of two main parties in the current method, third parties are essentially guaranteed never to get off the ground.
Yeah and the senators who ratified women’s right to vote were all elected by men but they still did the ethical thing.
At least Sanders seems to want to reduce billionaires’ disproportionate influence on politics.
Maybe you’re ok if Elon Musk’s opinion on how much you should get taxed counts a billion times more than yours, but you really shouldn’t be.
It is ironic, but if this was the case we would probably just see the Republican party shift to be more moderate and collect more votes. Not a bad thing IMO. Cultivating extremism is bad for democracy.
Upvoted for the honesty
Probably he’s on a diet and his wife won’t let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.
Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they’d see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.
Feels like they overnerfed ember
Interesting. This kind of bill is for costs incurred as a result of the rally rather than for directly using the facilities, e.g. paying for an increased police presence to control protestors. Seems like candidates are not really obligated to pay for this.
This article claims they pay a higher effective tax rate, not more in taxes. A citizen working the same position would pay even more in taxes since they would also have to pay income tax.
Maybe the headline should be that sales + other flat taxes are becoming an increasing burden for low income workers. This is the problem for the illegal immigrants in the study, and even more of a problem for citizens who earn the same amount.
Sad about this one tbh. Didn’t really seem op in my pubs but maybe it was too good in the pro scene.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?
Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).
To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.
The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that’s a tough one.
Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.
These comics seem to age surprisingly well.
It’s a Christmas present to him but even more of one for everybody else!
The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it’s much slower and there’s no space for it.
Paladin: It works because I just feel really strongly about it.
The more we know about this, the better. Depressing as it may be, learning about these means eventually we may be able to revive them.
It all depends on what you mean by affect. Two em waves in the same space will have a different overall amplitude at any frequency.
If you mean as in the overall color of light, that will change based on how much/what frequency waves are combined. Think about adding a bit of black sand to a jar of white sand – from a distance it will appear grey but the actual colors of individual grains of sand (frequency of “individual” em waves) won’t change.
For wifi, data transmission is via phase modulation of the em wave, so the signal is resilient against adding different frequencies/amplitudes but may suffer if the same frequency is transmitted at a different phase.
If you’re not afraid of the legal system why not slap a Disney logo on there too?
Reduced from 40 to 36 hours is in the right direction, but it’s still a 5 day work week.
