Yeah...we all understand the trick and hate it.

You've noticed that too? It's almost like their parents were so cavalier about legality that this is rebellion to them or something.

Yeah, no. They have 70 different systems and what you're talking about is the Mediterranean diet.

Oh look, the socialist doesn't like a working knowledge of recent history. Transferable vote systems and proportional aren't all that that common. and an example of the possible results less than a hundred years ago isn't irrelevant. I've looked at the systems before, and quite often the result of the formulas used is a majority of someone no one really wanted.

What a mystery this is

Research the Weimar Republic. Getting rid of first past the post, can have the opposite effect, giving the crazies more power than they would under first past. Fringe groups, especially left leaning, always want transferrable vote or proportional because that way they'd get more representation but they always seem to ignore it can backfire.

This just seems weird. it's a "study" but it's just some guys making a list of hurricanes that exceeded 192 mph winds and saying "these should be in their own category", and I'm assuming they didn't pick 200 mph because the list would then be too small. They're also ignoring historic hurricanes that hit that, https://hurricanescience.org/history/storms/1930s/LaborDay/

I've collected most of that except the bike in the last 5 years, grew tired of new stuff failing and being mostly disposable. The can opener is really neat, seems like 110 years ago they knew how to make something that actually worked and opened cans without leaving sharp edges, much better built than what you get at a store today. theyre 10 bucks on ebay. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/335171281718?hash=item4e09c3e336:g:7LIAAOSwPrFlZofk&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0Exx8HDDFCXcyRYMrVHWpfpb4KkPCs685zBXJr%2FZxP3vXqGhnb8Gz0hHopfDa%2BvUWB9Ul925P1z9C20IVf%2FMQyeN2cM75RwAQg4AMY8FoGc5XXor6AwQgO4mNJjIprA0RHqrSpsqQjSOkugWUJ5oAFiKYhwjMUJrROWGaksLXdLCuFHpVPzolYKOTB5dEPW7uTRpUULrD0YXtrKGZktbDCaKSCA%2F59wj2sh0FiXtT2OTNhFVaTllTptmBt57QcY9NSySvgwxX63NDsK9Xg47wEY%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4iR0YGwYw

The flip is pretty great, you can close the pockets on the front of your shirt now if you wear those type. First phone I've managed to not smash or send up a grain auger.

Use survivorship bias in your favour. I've a fridge from 1953, wonderful 60s gas stove, a can opener from 1915, pickup from 1983, motorcycle from 1969 etc.
