Last year China installed more solar than the rest of the world combined, but they have less than 1/5th of the worldpopulation ๐Ÿคท

There are lot's of things you can criticize China about, their commitment to renewable energy isn't one of them.

Of all ways to get rid of dictators you choose Lybia as a good example. I rest my case.

Current events show that guns are pretty useless against dictators, people do just happily vote them in power. The right to free education would have been a better weapon.

I'm not convinced that source isn't just spreading the urban myth. You're going to have to come with something with more weight behind it than the webpage of a seller of heatpumps. Here's another source saying it has nothing to do with eating: https://www.la-tour.ch/fr/conseils/se-baigner-apres-manger-faut-il-vraiment-attendre-3-heures

And what does that have to do with swimming after eating?

It's mathematically proven that no voting system is perfect, so you'll have to choose what you value most in a voting system. There is no clear best system.

I think the arguments for approval voting are strong. It's simple and easy to understand, no need for complex multiple rounds of counting. Since you can't rank candidates it doesn't suffer from the spoiler effect.

In your hypothetical scenario you're forgetting the Trump voters who will vote for Sanders again after they see Biden nearly beating him. RCV has a bigger problem which is called the spoiler effect where, without strategical voting a loser can influence the election results. And am I missing something or should the numbers in your RCV list add up to 100%?

A big drying rack for things that don't go in the dishwasher. Drying with a towel sucks and is unhygienic.

Maybe (probably) I'm just stupid and clumsy but cleaning as I go means cooking takes even more time and effort. I do it exactly the other way around, to minimize cleaning time I only clean my kitchen every few days when my counter gets too full. YMMV.

Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn't eat bland food ;)

[โ€“] ammonium@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.
