You don't really need complicated control theory for HVAC (at least, on a per-room or house basis) , since the system has such a huge heat capacity and takes a long time to change. Simple set point control with 100% on/off operation and a 2 degree dead zone gets the job done

Fairvote showing yet again that it's run by a bunch of idealists who have never talked to someone outside of their bubble.

Canadians like local representation chosen by local elections, whether you agree with the "fairness" of the outcome or not. Ranked choice ballots are the only option that will have the broad support needed to be implemented.

After an L like this, I don't think Harris makes it to the 2nd primary debate

2 of those examples are 6 years old, and the other is turning 10 soon

The first amendment might be dead, but the second one isn't. Exercise it.
