New Zealand switched from FPTP to MMP despite the encumbant parties being like that.

It took years of organising and effort. History here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Reform_Coalition

The vibe in UK reminds me of NZ in the late 80s. It can be done when people really want it.

What do you want those users to be able to do with their accounts?

A CMS like Drupal or Wordpress might be what you want.

It's hard to recommend something when you haven't described the purpose. Having users register accounts is just a means to some end.

vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection

Yes but by how much? Is it 5% or 50% or 95%?

Kinda important.

This is known as a "false dichotomy" and is very lame.

An amendment requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

It's worth a try but don't pin all your hopes on it.

I had a terrible time getting wifi working on my Macbook Pro from about the same year. 2012, I think. It semi-worked but was horrifically unreliable and slow.

In the end I just got a tiny USB wifi dongle and plugged it in, rather than using the internal wifi card.

Creatures of Place is an insight into the wonderful world of Artist as Family: Meg Ulman, Patrick Jones, and their youngest son, Woody. Living on a 1/4-acre section in a small Australian town, Meg and Patrick have designed their property using permaculture principals.

They grow most of their own food, don't own cars and ride their bikes instead, use very little electricity, and forage food and materials from their local forest.

Prakash Hinduja and his wife, Kamal, were each sentenced to four years and six months in prison, and their son Ajay and his wife, Namrata, received four-year terms.

Instead of asking humans who they would vote for, try to understand the nuances of their thoughts and concerns, let those messages bubble up to candidates so they can adjust their campaign to meet voters' demand, instead of that, why not just segment humans into a bunch of shallow stereotypes (the socialist Millennial, the conservative Boomer, the liberal city dweller, the rancorous rural voter who feels left behind...) and then have some AI agents replicate how those people would respond?

Surely nothing could go wrong.
