It kind of sounds like it might have been written to protect a mother wanting to have a child and then got misapplied.

My brain auto completed that as being up for auction.

No it did not. But it may have wronged it.

Having data is great. You can see what is… or was recently. But you need to feed this data into computer models to forecast the future, or a probability distribution about the future. And that’s what NOAA has and the navy doesn’t.

That’s returning a “406 Not Acceptable” response. I’ve never even seen one except in http docs.

Would that be a problem when travelling to the… oh, right, we’re not doing that anymore… would this be a problem for Europeans travelling to Canada?

So… they chose to make a very Pixel-specific OS and you’re mad at Fairphone?

You misspelled “a minor bit of pedantry”. Sorry. It had to be done.

What gives you the idea that I have any such idea? I find that quite puzzling.

A nuclear detonation is a very delicate and precisely controlled process. It doesn’t just happen because a bomb goes off near the nuke. So sure, they can say anything, but there will be obvious evidence.

Speaking of saying anything, I’m going to look for reliable confirmation that this even happened. I’m not taking Trump’s fucking tweet for it.

I’m sat here in Italy wondering che cazzo you’re talking about until I reached the word “Americans”. Because of course you were talking about Americans.

Is this the obvious counter example we’ve been waiting for to finally disprove Betteridge’s law of headlines?

People have advanced from not reading the article to not reading the excerpt in the post. Quite impressive really.

Just fly Korean Air and you don’t need to bring your own kimchi.

For real, though, do it if you have the option. It’s the only airplane food I still enjoy

I agree there is a simple and more concise way of answering, but I saw it as a teaching moment to go a bit more in depth.

Yeah, I think what you’ll really get with a wall of text like this is that people don’t read it and you missed the chance to influence them at all. Case in point: I didn’t read your response. Just skimmed it for the above paragraph.

If you feel the need to write a lecture, at least answer the why question first. Otherwise people really don’t care about the mechanics of the damned thing.

You’re answering the wrong question. That’s a “how” answer, not a “why” answer. Surely there is a simple one-paragraph explanation of why FPTP is terrible

On a side note, Ranked Choice specifically is only slightly better than FPTP compared to say Ranked Robin, STAR, or Score voting.

Whatever you do, please don’t split the alternative voting vote and let FPTP win with 40%.

Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?

As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.

Statista puts their 2024 GR at $164 billion. That would make a max fine of $6.5 billion per year. I’d almost be willing to just take that deal.

Fines for violating GDPR can be up to 4% of the previous year’s global revenue. Not just profits. Not just within EU. They’d have to fully withdraw from the EU market to flaunt the law this egregiously.
