Zach Weinersmith (of SMBC) recently wrote a great non-fiction book with his wife about how difficult and inadvisable actually settling Mars would be called A City on Mars. Great reading if you’re interested in non-fiction humor about the subject.
Basically, yes. Each of the 650 constituencies votes in a single member of parliament, even if they don’t get 50% of the vote, just more votes than anyone else. So if you have 3 constituencies that all vote 40% Labour, 35% Conservative, and 25% Lib Dem, you will get 3 Labour MPs, even though if it were proportional, you shpuld get at least 1 Conservative MP (sorry Lib Dems, too small a sample to let you have one too)
Fan wikis are usually good for this sort of thing. Is this what you’re looking for?
The least terrible option is not invading…
It’s about $50 per payment. Not a ton, but not nothing!
Holy shit, I can’t believe it. This is massively good news for workers!
Holy crap this site is absolutely unbearable without an ad blocker.
Seriously though Mohdi, if you don’t want people to be suspicious about you arresting your political opponents then you probably shouldn’t make a fuss when people are concerned. “Normal criminal arrest here, nothing to see” is much less guilty than calling in a diplomat to yell “How dare you question me!” at them.
I’m surprised it’s both this early and this late. The fact that he came in second in Iowa and then dropped out before New Hampshire is baffling.
to the racism to a 33-year-old woman being called a “girl”
But you repeat yourself
I think there’s absolutely a space for an industry achievement/recognition award like the Oscar, Tony, etc. The Game Awards just seems like the most cynical attempt at forcing one into the video game space.
Recompiling my foundation and hoping it still holds the house up when I’m done.
Specifically I would say the following streams fit the bill:
100% this. I literally support fixing software installations and random crashing/errors all day anyway, sometimes when I get home I want my stuff to just work. I bought a console so I don’t have to worry about why my framerate’s dropping in Elden Ring or whatnot, it’ll be fine and for 600$ less than building an actual PC worth building, a console is a no brainer for me.
That’s fascinating and I have not heard of this type of system before. Presumably in a system like that, they would still be returning the person’s money when they left, though…
Hearing rumors @WeAreFarmers might pull out of Florida. If that’s true my office is going to explore every avenue possible for holding them accountable. Don’t get to leave after taking policyholder money. Can’t write auto if you’re not doing homeowners either. Zero communication!
“Don’t get to leave after taking policyholder money”
What do you think insurance is? You’re not “purchasing” anything, you’re buying an ability to recover losses. It’s not like when I cancel my policy I get to walk away with a pile of boards from Home Depot on my insurance company’s dime because I haven’t had major damage to my house.
It’s like if Netflix decided to cancel all subscribers in FL and the response was “I gave you all that money and I don’t get to keep watching your movies forever???”
Yeah, 274 years is such a weird time length to use. 0.02 seconds per year is better, or if you wanted to do a “lifetime” measurement it’s about 1.68s over 80 years.
