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

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.

Every Mark Rober video is now an ad. They're also loud and obnoxious, so I've stopped watching them.

I've actually never watched a Mr Beast video. They never came up in my feed.

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.

That's my motto: no matter how bad it seems, it could be worse.

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

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.

My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.

  1. Open the excel template
  2. Fill inn the items, and the prices
  3. Sum all posts USING THE DESKTOP CALCULATOR ...

She was completely dumbfounded.

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)

I'm not American, but I've lived a few years in the US. I find it very interesting that the US invented the electric infrastructure that we use today, but they really screwed up a few things. Firstly, the connectors are far too unsafe. They are flimsy and have no protection from electrocution. Secondly, by using 120V as the main voltage, you need more current to do the same amount of work as a 240V system. Thay means thicker wires, more stress on the plugs, and greater fire hazards.

Shuko plugs FTW

So ping-pong is an euphemism for sex? Or was he literally playing ping-pong?
