Any possibility, no matter how small, becomes a certainty when dealing with infinity. You seem to fundamentally misunderstand this.

Why would you need to buy your own crypto? The only purpose of these trades is to mislead others.

Is the primary that big of a deal? Given the limited time for campaigning it seems reasonable that the party appoints a candidate they can all get behind.

I don’t really understand though - we don’t have primaries here. We expect our politicians to exhibit the suitability for the role by convincing their colleagues to back them - kinda like they’ll have to do in the wider government should they get elected. The parties just publish their lists of candidates (ranked) and we just vote for the party.

Another concern is just where the labor is supposed to come from

The USA unemployment rate is currently below the long term average and they’re planning for mass deportations.

What are they going to give up doing in order to restart basic manufacturing?

People tend to prioritize the comfort of those closest to them over anyone else, themselves most of all. Expressing different political views could cause problems in their families or communities so they’ll keep quiet and just go about their lives thinking it’s not going to affect them. Better to risk the lives of strangers, or even nieces, than risk losing their marriage. It’s why “First they came for…” is so powerful - we can see ourselves in it.

Seems like he’s saying they are. If they see something criminal on the phone then it’s not an unreasonable seizure.

More likely to be Chinese Yuan. The symbol is similar. About 6 Yuan to the dollar I think.

They should be allowed to vote while incarcerated as well.

Sure, but one side seems to be advocating for more of the same shittiness we’ve had for decades, and the other side for a final solution to the Palestinian problem. It’s not like the choices are equal.

a lot of the arguments against third-party voting are arguments against voting in general.

Maybe. But with the system in place a vote for a third-party candidate is effectively an abstention. I think you’re right that they’re more politically considerate and wanting to make a difference. It’s the desire to make a difference and effectively abstaining that seems incongruous.

If you voted according to your values, you voted well.

Exactly. And while I agree, I also live somewhere that uses a variety of ranked choice voting for some elections.

If someone truly wants to vote their values they should also have some understanding of how their voting system works.

If a vote for the candidate you believe in results in your least preferred candidate getting ahead, shouldn’t you consider a compromise vote to get a candidate closer to your values in power?

As mentioned in the article these can be quieter than a retail unit. The large fans move a lot of air and the large filter area means it’s easier to pull that air through; both combined mean a lower fan speed is needed for a given throughput.

HEPA filters may not be necessary - it seems that homemade air purifiers with standard filters can outperform them in clean air delivery rate, arguably the most important factor for a purifier. The air may not be as clean with each pass through it, but it’ll move much more air.

Are single-sex dorms a thing over there? Ours were always mixed with unisex bathrooms - stalls for everyone.

Parents, copyrights, and trademarks are grouped together as Intellectual Property. They’re all quite distinct however.

As someone who’s not used these things, what’s wrong with a basic handshake to establish the comms channel?

“Hey, are you listening?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

…

Isn’t that all this really is?

Seems a weird thing for people to be uptight about.

The signing ensures the integrity of the data, whether using a public block chain or not.

The signed document can be distributed as widely as you’d like - it doesn’t need to be attached to a block chain to do this.

Sure, there’s always going to be outliers. Most people live and work in the same metropolitan area though - they’re not driving 50,000km+ a year. Besides, having a vehicle with 5 times the effective lifetime is going to be a big win regardless of how much you drive it.

Thanks!

I missed the site wide rules.

Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they’re probably violating it themselves with their moderation.

Perhaps I don’t really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn’t this the mods doing their jobs correctly?

The OP’s situation seems completely different to this and it’s definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?
