It amazes me that one of the largest countries in the world, with the most diverse demographics, can only chose between two candidates. This is not democracy. It's a shit show that has been going on for far too long.

StThicket ,

I didn't vote in the primary, because I'm not American.

StThicket ,

I understand what you are trying to say. Ultimately, there are only two to vote for. Ideally, there should be more than two parties, and more than two candidates. That's how democracies work. What you have is a dysfunctional system that divides people in two groups, and there are no incentives to cooperate between parties. Proper voting is also suffering due to the two-party system.

In my country, the parties with the majority of votes and the ability to cooperate gets to form a government. We also try to make it easy to get people to vote, insted of your system of gerrymandering.

Yes I know, but the voting system favours the two largest. Thats why they are large. Small parties have 0% chance og getting representatives into the houses, so they are basically irrelevant.

StThicket ,

Yes, it's important to defend the only thing you know, even how bad it might be. 😄

I had the HTC Desire Z back in the day, with a full qwerty keyboard underneath the screen. It was awesome to write on, but it lacked performance.

Android: "Check out all these options. You can customise it just as you'd like"

Apple: "Check it out! This is the best user interface ever. No need for customisation"

The Hacked podcast actually talked about this on the last episode

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

I bet the mentality is: "why would i want to have a bus stop when I always use my car".

As opposed to "it would have beed nice to have a bus stop so that I don't need to use my car"

Considering that a 12V battery has an internal resistance of 20 milliohms, the potential current through this thing would be approximately 600A.

It might be too hot to handle (pun intended)

If you are against people who are against fascists, wouldn't that indirectly say you don't care about fascism? And that's how fascism gets a foothold. And with that logic, you indirectly support fascism.
