if you aren’t American you can agitate and tell people “don’t vote, voting for the lesser evil means you end up with slightly less evil and that’s bad, instead you should not vote or ignore mathematics existing and vote third party which is a fancy way of not voting” and then suffer no consequences.

The entire planet suffers the consequences when Trump undoes all climate action and destabilises the world.

Userbenchmark have a long running grudge against AMD. I'm not sure why, but they therefore aren't a trustworthy source.

The point is to harm people that have less power than you do. There's a whole political ideology based around that idea.

A major improvement already happened in 5.2+ but few devices support it yet (LE Audio with LC3 codec).

LDAC is a very inefficient codec, and isn't lossless even at its highest bitrate. But they are all close to perceptually lossless even at relatively low bitrates so it's a much of muchness.

Someone among Linda Reynolds’ advisors should have had the courage to tell her that persisting with this defamation trial, especially in the wake of the Bruce Lehrmann trial, is really shitty optics.

She seems to have the hubris of Lehrmann, as Christrian Porter had before them. Something about being in the Liberal party makes you believe that normal rules don't apply.

You can also connect rural towns by cycling routes. Some parts of Australia are doing this by adding cycling tracks to long-abandoned rail links (would be nice if some of these were used as rail again but that's another story). Yes, not everyone is going to be willing and able to use these but it's great for tourism, and even getting a small amount of people out of their cars now and then is a win.

Just add more buses in that case. This is the good kind of induced demand.

Even then, in a well designed city, there are enough viable alternatives when buses get too crowded (walking, cycling, trains, even a slightly different bus route).

The characters were just 2D sprites from what I recall. And the isometric camera kind of gave it a 2D feel even if it wasn't actually 2D.

Anyway, hopefully this isn't a Switch exclusive as that would be lame.

When conservatives say "fiscal responsibility" they mean cutting social spending so they can inflict as much harm on poor people as possible. If you look at everything they say through that lens, it all makes sense.

A couple of things:

  • Biden was still the candidate, and a lot of young people were angry with him at the time
  • Younger people are less likely to identify or register with any party (but will still likely vote in one particular direction). So focusing on the results by party identification isn't that useful.

No official Linux support, which means no Steam Deck support as well. Yes, there's Legendary but I shouldn't have to jump through those hoops.

 

It became very obvious after starting this channel that probably the biggest motivating force for people who care about urbanism is, simply, the fact that places with great urban qualities are often so unaffordable. Enter YIMBYism, the movement that says the more neighbors, the better, and the more people who can afford to live in a city, the better it is for everyone.

 

tl;dr Geometric mean results
