It’s like Hogwarts houses for non-transphobes

This implies that Harry Potter is for transphobes and I refuse to let JKR being a big ol POS take away Harry Potter from me. Death of the author exists for a reason.

Basically, yes. Each of the 650 constituencies votes in a single member of parliament, even if they don’t get 50% of the vote, just more votes than anyone else. So if you have 3 constituencies that all vote 40% Labour, 35% Conservative, and 25% Lib Dem, you will get 3 Labour MPs, even though if it were proportional, you shpuld get at least 1 Conservative MP (sorry Lib Dems, too small a sample to let you have one too)

The least terrible option is not invading…

It’s about $50 per payment. Not a ton, but not nothing!

Holy shit, I can’t believe it. This is massively good news for workers!

Holy crap this site is absolutely unbearable without an ad blocker.

Seriously though Mohdi, if you don’t want people to be suspicious about you arresting your political opponents then you probably shouldn’t make a fuss when people are concerned. “Normal criminal arrest here, nothing to see” is much less guilty than calling in a diplomat to yell “How dare you question me!” at them.

I’m surprised it’s both this early and this late. The fact that he came in second in Iowa and then dropped out before New Hampshire is baffling.

to the racism to a 33-year-old woman being called a “girl”

But you repeat yourself

• Better thermal conductivity (cast iron actually sucks at this but nobody seems to acknowledge it)

One of the main selling points of cast iron is the fact that it has low thermal conductivity - it takes a while to get hot, but then it stays hot for longer. This is an advantage for some types of cooking and is why I only use my cast iron for specific things.

Fwiw, I agree that if you only have one pan, don’t make that pan cast iron - it’s good at what it does but it’s not as versatile as a stainless steel pan for most things.

That’s fascinating and I have not heard of this type of system before. Presumably in a system like that, they would still be returning the person’s money when they left, though…

Hearing rumors @WeAreFarmers might pull out of Florida. If that’s true my office is going to explore every avenue possible for holding them accountable. Don’t get to leave after taking policyholder money. Can’t write auto if you’re not doing homeowners either. Zero communication!

“Don’t get to leave after taking policyholder money”

What do you think insurance is? You’re not “purchasing” anything, you’re buying an ability to recover losses. It’s not like when I cancel my policy I get to walk away with a pile of boards from Home Depot on my insurance company’s dime because I haven’t had major damage to my house.

It’s like if Netflix decided to cancel all subscribers in FL and the response was “I gave you all that money and I don’t get to keep watching your movies forever???”
