It’s US English I think …
The other one that I notice is “write your representative”, instead of “write to your representative”

I think it’s generic and not genetic 🧬
I’m a little torn here. It’s not like he did something illegal, why’s he being punished for it?
He’s grifted, worked hard, now a research fellow …
Edit: just to be clear I’m torn because I disagree with the work he does now, specifically school privatisation and praising Trump, having him suspended is win from that perspective!
I’d imagine he’s could be worried about bumping into people in prison that he’s had a hand in putting there!
I can’t imagine judges are popular in prison, and corrupt judges are likely to be extra reviled.
I must admit I thought pagers used the gsm (cellular) network, but could only receive messages and therefore couldn’t be triangulated / located like a mobile phone.

Reading deeper, if it’s radio signals then I can’t imagine Israel would have any problems replicating or spoofing them.
Yes, so if someone sent a very unique message, I’m not sure how many characters fit on a pager, but something nobody would ever send, then it could be the activation “password”.
I never had or used a pager, but I think it’s possible to send short alphanumeric messages to them via the cell phone network (GSM, or whatever)
It’s a device designed to receive signals ;p
I think for the pagers the consensus is that a particular code would have been sent to the devices.
What are these endless calls for funding? Do people only vote if they are saturated with adverts?
I will bitch about heat.,
I will bitch about cold.
I will bitch about sunshine,
and about growing old.
I will bitch about everything,
inside and out.
And if there is nothing,
Well I’ll bitch about that.
Very good, I had a go at an alternate ending.
All valid points, and I didn’t realise the differences in outcomes based on the various counting methods!
That would be complex to explain to many people I’m sure. However, and I’m possibly biased here, there’s a whole bunch of systems I don’t fully understand (car engines, encryption methods, football tournament knock out rules) but I know they work and tend to accept them and at least understand their limitations and outcomes.
I can totally see how people would reject things they don’t understand, and could be easily pushed in to rejecting a new system.
Also I agree that winning an election based on the change could be hard, and perhaps attempting to introduce this change later would work. Though I’m not sure the big parties (labour and conservatives in UK) really want to change a system that works for them!
I have no personal experience of explaining ranked choice.
I can imagine calculating ranked choice vote outcomes is probably pretty labour intensive (without computers).
However people generally understand the concept of how someone comes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a race, and I’m sure most people have thought about a ranked list of their favourite movies or football players, so it’s not some completely alien concept.
Instead of just choosing who you want to win, you fill out the ballot saying who is your first choice, second choice, or third choice (or more as needed) for each position. https://time.com/5718941/ranked-choice-voting/
That seems pretty simple to me, unless I’m missing something?
And finally whole bunch of countries manage this without any issues …
Internationally, it is used by voters in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Malta, Northern Ireland and Scotland. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/politics/what-is-ranked-choice-voting-and-where-is-the-system-used/2638554/
Coming from a two party country (UK) the only real issue I see is the fragmenting of power and subsequent need to form endless alliances in parliament. (If I voted for the Greens but the Greens need the the votes of another party and end up doing deals is that really representing my vote…)
Just can’t trust anyone these days…
And don’t forget to update us on the outcome!
Gaming chairs are a great example; you can often find the same exact chairs for hundreds of dollars cheaper by getting them as an office chair
One could say the overpriced gaming chair with some fancy colours contradicts the “get what you pay for rule”.
I’m clearly not understanding something here, but I thought search engines would require loads of space to index all the internet. Just thinking about the ability to search for code on stackoverflow seems like loads already.
Edit:
Found it!
SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.
Looks very interesting, thanks for commenting about it.
I was trying to make a joke about the character model looking like it had fallen through the floor.
I’m not sure they can really vote Putin out of power.
And as for moving country, well I’m sure that’s easy for some, but those with family and commitments I can’t imagine it’s easy
