Why is the text of the summary completely different from the contents of the article?

I thought as much! Didn’t want to assume though just in case. I’ve gone through that book twice and I want to look at adding types to my implementation. Good luck!

You writing an interpreter/VM? For what language?

Maybe I got a little too curious, but that reg number brings up a different car so I wonder what’s up with that

I don’t think it is. I think you just missed that Merc’s original comment was a joke about the misspelling in the OP, not an actual description of Bluesky

D. 64% of Democrats that have a friend in the GOP and the 82% of GOP that say they do are one to Many.

Maybe the relationship is one-to-one and actually there are way more people willing to identify as a Democrat 🤷🏿‍♂️

(I don’t actually think this, just a random thought)

S2 finale spoiler: >!they even got the colours right!<

Microsoft Windows was originally called “Wind OS”; the wavy logos from the earlier versions is supposed to be a flag waving in the wind. Consumers kept calling it Windos; eventually Microsoft conceded that the name had stuck and changed it to Windows for 3.1

France, if you squint slightly. Their two-round runoff is a better system, but it’s not proportional and can effectively become FPTP under certain conditions.

Slightly tangential, but something that really pisses me off is how we had something like this system for elections for mayors and some other local positions.

The Supplementary Vote was used for all combined authority mayoral elections until the Elections Act 2022 abolished it. It was basically the Alternative Vote (Instant Runoff/Ranked Choice Voting) but limited to two choices: the top two candidates who received the most preferences would advance to a runoff which used the second choices. It’s similar to the French system but it’s all done on the same ballot instead over two separate votes.

The Tories had it in their manifesto to replace it with FPTP, and they did that through the EA2022. I knew they weren’t on board with changing parliamentary elections to a better system, but getting rid of (marginally better) established systems says a lot to me about what they think about democracy.

This might be getting into the weeds a little, but to me, “bottle of water” implies a single-use bottle already filled with water, while “water bottle” implies a bottle that is made to be (re)filled with water

Something that I’ve found with Sync is that I needed to open the post itself first before I open the image. I assumed that Sync doesn’t fetch the uncompressed image until you do so

The article seems to say that it’s not a bill that goes through Parliament, more that it’s akin to secondary legislation, which can’t be subject to a petition? Meaning that the Swiss people would need to petition for a constitutional amendment rather than an optional referendum, which makes this slightly more complicated (and requires a lot more effort)

The CybertrucKKK?

In my experience, people who like cock and balls generally like looking at cock and balls in porn, if only for help fantasising about playing with said cock and balls. Dressing them up makes them less sexual and more humourous, which someone might be into in the same way as playing “got your nose” with your arse cheeks. Though it’s only funny for a split second when you’re not expecting it, then you actually have to remove the costume in order to access the cock and balls.

I think it’s because most of those folks don’t want to see other people’s Johnsons.

I mean… Men who like men exist, though I say that as a pan-guy that doesn’t really seek out penis. Not repulsed, they just seem boring. Seeing them dressed up is actually funny and interesting until I get bored
