Same thing happened to the Dot Com bubble. The fundamental technology has valid uses, but we're in the stage where some people are convinced it can be used for literally anything.

Nah, the timeline looks like this:

  1. use account on main
  2. create backup
  3. use account on main
  4. account goes missing from main.
  5. check backup, account also missing from backup.

Like, it should be in the backup, I proved it was in the original before and after creating the backup. Heck if I know why they went missing.

I used to keep a copy of my kepass file in a free Dropbox account.

I switched from keepass to Bitwarden because individual entries started randomly disappearing. I'm still discovering missing accounts after switching a couple of weeks ago. Sometime to do with how keepass was opening the files, because when an entry went missing it was gone even from backup files I hadn't touched since before the entry disappeared.

The two-party system. Regardless of where you live, if it's under a two-party system, you probably agree that it sucks.

Assuming we're starting from "choose one" single-winner elections, you need to first switch your elections to Approval Voting. This would make it always safe to vote for your favorite candidate, and the full support for every losing candidate would be reflected in the vote totals. This will weaken the two party system, but no single-winner system can dismantle it.

After that, switch as many single-winner elections to multi-winner as you can (like city council or a legislative district) and use Sequential Proportional Approval Voting to award seats. This will enable minor party candidates to get into office after the major ones, and the seat totals will look a lot closer to the vote totals.

A few places already use approval (Fargo and St. Louis) and a few places are just begging for SPAV (Cincinnati City council).

Yeah, but your fridge doesn't break every six years. I'm totally on team repair (FrameWork will be my next laptop when this one can't go on any further, my shoes can be resoled, I just touched up my jacket, etc) but a 10x premium doesn't exactly make sense, even when you factor in that repairability is unfortunately a niche feature these days.

CF being short for what, in this case?

So I looked them up, and the cheapest home-style refrigerator they sell costs $10,000. Am I missing something or are they really just that expensive?

We got constitutional carry in Ohio. Just practice shooting the locks off.

Russia already stays far away from Ukrainian controlled Ukraine with their planes, because Ukraine has the ability to shoot them down. We could improve that ability, but they're still not getting close to flying over land they don't control.

They gave up pointless cruelty precisely because doing so cost them nothing.
