Nothing is wrong with trees, but the microalgae CO2 capture rate is 50x higher````` .

Instant-runoff voting (IRV) is the single-winner analogue of STV. It is also called single-winner ranked-choice voting and preferential voting

Seems like STV is an extension of ranked choice voting for the special case of multiple-winner elections.

Sanders is a rare voice for progressive, prosocial reform in the US. His policy positions resonate with many of us who feel that government should support ordinary people at least as much as the obscenely wealthy.

But beyond that, he's genuine and his messaging has been consistent for decades. You can literally find images of him being arrested fighting for social justice in the 60's.

Also he's sharp and nearly every time he makes a point he drops the facts to support it.

Oh look, he literally just led a motion to block arms sales to Israel last week

It goes to whoever can provide Bitcoin. So, likely an exchange. Which ultimately gives the money to people selling Bitcoin. Many of whom are in North Korea and Russia.

Crypto investment is very risky. Too volatile. Too virtual. No protection against theft/fraud. Also a govt should really invest in companies in its own jurisdiction.

I think this question could be interpreted in many ways, but typically education is correlated with more religious participation.

For Mennonites specifically, education is one of their core values. They also did a study on what matters most to their members that you can check if you're interested: https://www.mennoniteusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/MC-USA-Report-FN-compressed-1.pdf

Personally, I think a lot of their belief system and activism efforts just make sense and appeal based on their own merits.

There are many kinds of Mennonites. Most that I know are pretty scientific and well-educated.

Behind a shattered door, the adventurers find a tent, bags of gear, smouldering fireplace, and smell roasting mutton. It seems abandoned only seconds ago, but on closer inspection the tent is mouldering, the gear mostly rusted through, and the fireplace only ancient charcoal.

(A party of adventurers passed through 20 years before, and were ambushed and dragged off to be eaten in the dead of night. Their ghosts remain, giving a semblance of life to the camp as they relive their final moments)

At least in the US, tipping is the accepted way that we compensate certain people for their time.

If you habitually never tip, you are not paying for the service that you receive in good faith. This is theft of service.

If you don't like tipping, patronize places that include the tip in the bill. Tell restaurant owners to change their pay structure to avoid it. It won't be changed by you individually shirking your obligation to pay.

That seems fair

Omg FINALLY fixed this game-breaking mechanic
