Constituencies don’t vary in population nearly as much as your example. You could do more accurate calculations using This data but I doubt it would make much difference. And yes, fuck FPTP

Legal tender is only relevant for debts paid in courts etc. who have to accept the cash. It doesn’t apply in commercial businesses. Not sure how a bar/restaurant would deal with it if you only have cash and they don’t want to accept it, but for petrol stations it’s standard practice to get you to fill out a form promising to pay within a week if you can’t pay, for example because your bank card does not work.

Same in the UK by the way. Business are not obliged to accept cash, and plenty of them don’t. So if you only have one way of paying, either cash or card, better check first if the accept it.

I like the sentiment of that statement, but are there any expert opinions on the impact? Even if they cannot replicate the tech, could they learn how to interfere with the targeting abilities of these rockets?

I agree, they haven’t got that fine, never mind actually paid it. But it would be about a third of their profits, not exactly negligible, and it could double for repeated offences.

Politicians. Morally obliged. Dream on.

And downvoted by me (for the avoidance of doubt, the article, not your comment) because it has nothing to do with science.

Under FPTP there is not much use for this site. And while I believe, until proven wrong, that this site was created with the best intentions, the cynic in me thinks it could be a conservative plan to encourage a split in the votes for their opposition.

If we had PR, I would consider policies when voting. But at this point, even if I agreed with all conservative policies, I would not trust them to implement any of them. So my main consideration is which party has the best chance of beating the con artists in my area, not which party has the ‘best’ policies.

Seems to be back up, just seen a new post there

You’re promoting your closed source, non activitypub platform on Lemmy. Good luck with that, I’ll give it a free, federated downvote.

I’m not saying it can’t be done. But a larger heat pump and replacing all radiators drives up the cost, there is not always space for a bigger radiator, (and water tank), and while higher flow temperatures are possible, it tend to reduce efficiency. Sometimes it’s just not worth the investment, not helped by the big gap between gas and electricity prices in the UK
