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

It’s US English I think …
The other one that I notice is “write your representative”, instead of “write to your representative”
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 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?
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…)
The master in master branch is, I’d assume, from the idea of Master copy which refers to the original of something, eg a recording, drawing, etc. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/master-copy
I’m not hugely tied to the word, and things change … So meh.
Poor lad on the left looks like he’s had enough for today
Lol it’s clearly from the statue level in Goldeneye…
At least that we know of …
Though there’s nothing happening in Wales or Scotland that I’ve read about.
Anyone else having problems accessing the site on Firefox mobile?
What had the Japanese planned for the Yamato?
Lol, perhaps, but it doesn’t make your point right and it really doesn’t change history.
I think in the UK it’d be the “own brand” - very much conveys the same idea of the brand belonging to the store https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/own-brand
