But imagine the fart sound it could make when you release it!
A gravity battery doesn’t have such great energy density so you’d better be able to make it huge instead.
And for the Europeans in the audience, we have 240V and 15A in a normal wall socket for twice the charging speed of our American friends but half the speed of their level 2.
Correct. But if we stop blowing money on Orban and his cronies, then it can be sent to Ukraine instead.
Noice. That makes €10.8billion for Ukraine.
If only your dad had had this pill
Things are even worse in the US. For president you need to get a plurality of the votes (more than any other candidate) nationally (let’s ignore the EC for now) which means that any vote not for the two candidates who stand a chance is wasted.
But also in their congressional elections they set up the system so to get in you have to get a plurality in some district where only one representative will be sent each time (FPTP). So even if your party has 15% nationally, unless they can win a plurality in some districts, they won’t get any representation.
Thats why 3rd parties are pure vote wasters in presidential elections and in Congress you only have a handful of independent reps who somehow win their districts without party backing.
Cobtrast that with most of Europe (including Denmark(?)) where you have proportional voting for a parliament and then parliament forms a government. You can vote for your green party and while they might not get to be Prime Minister, they might be needed for the parliamentary majority to form a government and get the environment ministry. Win! Or they might just exert slight pressure in parliament directly, which is where laws are made. Not a loss!
The poor 'Mericans, meanwhile, are screwed. The only reasonable choice is between the two major parties at the elections. To turn that oil tanker they have to get involved in those parties and try to affect which candidates are put forth and then the party even skips that step entirely if they happened to have won the last presidential elections.
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
You can probably update the, search url template for Google in the Firefox settings to go to the Web tab. Or make a new one and make it default.
It’s like letting auto complete always pick the next word in the sentence without typing anything yourself. But fancier.
Russia got the message loud and clear.
Too bad. They should have heard from Mr ATACMS himself.
In your analogy, they never even put the photos in the trash can. They just put a postit on them saying “don’t show to user”. Then the updated software forgot about the postits (and started to post tits).
Here guys, have this banana 🍌 reward for a civil and informative discussion thread.
No where did they say that won’t vote for him over Trump.
Right here:
lesser of two evils isn’t cutting it
Yeah, happily using Tidal as well. Haven’t missed any music that wasn’t also missing from Spotify, so…
I’m not so sure NATO wants to play directly into Putin’s anti-West narrative.
They might give Putin that in return for his retreat from Ukraine. That would be the “arrangement”. But again, I don’t really believe it.
Also why would anybody get nuked lol
That’s what Putin keeps threatening if NATO gets involved.
There is still the refractory period to consider.
If that’s what he really wants, then I’m sure it could be arranged and nobody needs to get nuked. But it probably isn’t.
They are covered by the “one of” part of the sentence. And the current Greek democratic system is not old in the sense that the US system is old.
Greek democracy has also been far from continuous, if we want to take that into account.
