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.

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.

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?

A geron

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.

Just lie and then do it anyway. It worked to corrupt SCOTUS, it should work here.

No. That’s an increase of 129% to 229% of the original price.

You are right that you always use the original price as the base, but if it were still $7 that would be a 0% increase, not 100% as by your math.

SpaceX has one viable product

Two. I can’t even figure out whether you’re ignoring Starlink or their space launch business. But yeah, the Elonville on Mars obsession makes about as much sense as the Cybertruck.

Or are FlyingSquid a collective consciousness wielding more limbs for typing than any singular human?

The worst effects of climate change haven’t happened yet so I guess that isn’t true either and you’ll go off at anyone who’ll attempt to use the best available information and modelling to predict that.

The US is a net exporter of oil. Has been for years.
