Rust is more like Esperanto isn’t it? It’s Latin, but regularized and with the rough edges sanded off.
Python is more like Spanish. A billion speakers in the world, and really easy to pick up a few phrases, but a small European minority still think they run it.
As a PhD who has tried doing home improvement projects, it’s the most believable thing in the film.
This is just basic “undergrad pads word count” strategy.
Everything is a “liberal scare story” until it actually happens, and then “nobody could have seen it coming”.
See also Brexit.
It’s not really “established” becaue there isnt any formal body declaring what names different voting systems have.
That is the most pompous way to say “I have never heard of political science”.
Are you unclear about what recognition other demcracies give to parties, how there is no prize for 2nd place in America, or why that lack of such a prize gives rise to a two-party system?
This is the most pompous way to say “I am unaware that lots of countries on this planet have district based systems”.
it’s established terminology. I’m sure you have feelings about the term, but I’m not really invested in them either way.
I’m not sure what you are referring to
It didn’t, but this one did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfQij4aQq1k
Thanks for the surprise J-Law early in the morning! I’m a big fan.
Many countries have first-past-the-post elections, and there usually we don’t see the mortal lock of the two major party like we see in the U.S.
In the UK for example there are regional parties (SNP, DUP, etc) and lib Dems/greens that win seats and send people to Westminster.
The main problem as far as I can see is that campaigning in the US is very expensive, and third parties have problems raising the cash needed to make a dent in elections for Congress, let alone statewide office.
To frame it in economic terms, it’s a market with a high barrier to entry that has evolved a duopoly. In that aspect it’s not too dissimilar to cable companies etc.
TLDR: Fuck citizens united
Look at that!
A few nights in French jail worked wonders.
I got up to judo brown belt as a teen and it has saved my ass countless times. Not in fights, but in silly ass falls. Having good instincts when falling is a lifesaver.
China is so salty that karate can’t survive the age of the Internet they are blackballing it’s critics.
Karate is Japanese, mr Sensei sir.
It’s a sport. It’s not meaningfully more useful than other sports.
If you want something that’s genuinely useful in a confrontation, give up the fantasy of beating people up. Every time you fight you run a very real risk of incurring permanent harm or worse. Instead, sign up for track and learn and practice how to run away really fast.
TLDR: fighting not good. Not fighting, good.
You can kind of just upload it and hope for the best.
Oh yeah. That’s great advice. That never goes wrong!
Oh wait. It’s not.
Fair use has enumerated criteria. Do you meet them?
Why would you be allowed to share copyrighted works without a license from the rights holder that gives you that right?
Throw a device from s series into a fire as a spot check and if it burns it’s ok, if it explodes give the entire series to your enemy’s kids to play with.
Most high explosives burn unless detonated properly.
This is really basic stuff. I don’t think you should be out and about giving people advice about handling (potential) explosives.
This. The Brits have a first past the post system. Greens now are winning mayorships and parliament seats and making deals with labor not to split the vote in their favor because they have been building local support for decades.
They are a force in their districts, so they get elected to office in their districts. Do that to a few dozen districts and you can meaningfully affect the balance of power in Westminster. Then you start getting into coalitions and supplying ministers.
You can’t just wake up once every four years and hope to be anything but a spoiler candidate.
part of the reason we have AOC today is because the election registration process is accessible to people who have limited resources but a lot of enthusiasm.
You could not have picked a worse example for your position.
AOC crosses the Ts. She dots the Is. And she sure as shit DOES NOT SUBMIT THE WRONG FORM WHEN FILLING FOR AN ELECTION.
These guys are no AOC.
It’s definitely that, and not the fact that it was written in the first half of the nineties when everyone and their mother was all in on OOP/OOD to the detriment of usability.
