Let's make elections truly interesting. Let's make voting a competitive event. Specifically, let's count and publish live the results of early, absentee, and election day votes as they come in!

    Most of the more advanced democracies have rules about not allowing reporting of results until polls are closed for a reason. Many don't even allow reporting until official results are released. Informal exit polls and advanced opinion polls are bad enough.

    The idea is for people to vote for who they think will be the best, not vote for who send to be doing well or poorly up to that point

    I stand corrected. I still don't think it affects range much

    I don't think so. That's just we all call it

    Losing range has way more to do with speed than AC or an extra passenger. Taking side roads going 40 mph will give me a massive range boost vs the highway going 70-75 mph (2011 Leaf with "82 miles" range on the fully charged GOM).

    I barely notice a difference with extra passengers and weight (which makes sense since an extra passenger adds about 0.5% to the cars weight.

    And running heat kills battery much more than AC. AC will impact it a bit, but usually only about 5% in my estimation

  • Definitive answer for silk touch?
  • pwnicholson pwnicholson 3w ago 100%

    Interesting.

    Hit 2 stronghold libraries: more books than you'll use in a game.

    I guess I also take for granted that I build a zero tick kelp-to-bonemeal-to-cane-to-paper machine that fills a double chest with paper in about 1-2 hours tops, and it's not running at max efficiency.

    Golden carrots are easier to get with a fortune pick on a few rows of carrots and that gives you something to do with all the gold that otherwise has very little use in the game

    That's not villager efficient though. Librarians that give you enchants will take paper. Farmers waste spots in a villager hall IMO. Not that much of a difference in trade value, and sugar cane you can have a crop on every block where pumpkin requires every other block

  • TIL in the alphabet song, the note for the G is a G
  • pwnicholson pwnicholson 4w ago 100%

    For vocalists in Western music traditions, the steps of a major scale (doesn't matter the key) go by the names Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do instead of just 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 the way most other musicians refer to them.

    They are saying that in the song ABC by the Jackson Five, the notes they sing in that relative key when they say "Do Re Mi" are actually "So La Do"

    Save you a click: they were a human ball tee, holding it during a kickoff, then leaving the field. Big deal.

  • Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then.
  • pwnicholson pwnicholson 1mo ago 100%

    Yeah, some were pretty crazy.

    Is mostly because stereo sound being widely available was novel and new. I have several albums that are literally just made to let people show off the stereo aspect of their new hi-fi.

    And there are some old mixes that are fairly extreme by today's standards but sound like a very real soundstage - the drums are over there, the vocals over here, etc.

    But then some took it too far with the control hard pans and then relying on the hard pan to fix bad levels (like that the drums are too loud)

    But even today, it's not unusual to have some instruments entirely (or very nearly) in one side of the other. Just not the primary instruments carrying the harmony and melody.

    1. I'm sorry your parents never took you to art museums

    It'll probably more like plaster. 4k isn't always better. There are some low-budget effects things that aren't improved.

    I bet even comparing your old VHS that awoke your youth compared to the 2k Blu-ray, the new copy would be a lot less 'interesting' to look at.

    I just hope the 4k is transferred well but also doesn't let us see every seam in the costume and flake in the makeup

  • YouTube Music can transfer playlists to Apple Music too
  • pwnicholson pwnicholson 2mo ago 100%

    Rhapsody back in the day beat that. You could use All Music Guide info to build amazing custom playlists. Custom options like "Music featuring electric guitar with no vocals made between 1950-1957 with a tempo between 90-120" and it would shoot out a whole playlist

    Pretty much just kerosene. So not the best, but not horrible. It just uses LOX and RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) for fuel.

    So given the median savings in the USA is about $8000, it would feel like $25 does to most of us.

    She's worth $28 billion. Unfortunately she will miss $100 million like the rest of us would miss $50.

    The expansion is based on internationally established definitions of the continental shelf, and comes from research and surveys conducted by various groups going back to 2003, confirming where the continental shelf actually is. Interestingly, this doesn't include the water column above this territory, so it doesn't mean control of fishing or shipping lanes. Only seabed/underground mineral/drilling/pipelines control. Depending on policy and which political party is in control at the time, this could mean preventing others from drilling these areas, or (more likely?) making a profit off allowing drilling here. Most of the addition is in the Arctic, but includes territory around the whole country.

    Scored some free tickets from a friend. First time back in the building in more than a year. Even if it is 'just' preseason. Good to be back.

    What's the word on Preds TV packages? did Bally die yet? can't find any updates since the bankruptcy filing in the spring I'd love a better option than the $20+ /mo direct subscription, and I don't want to sail the seven seas.

    Either in a client (I've been using Jeroba) or in my Lemmy profile. I'd love to be able to block words I don't want to see stuff about... Like trying to avoid spoilers for movies, or just wanting to avoid mentions of certain people, but without blocking entire communities.
