The technology can detect gunshots, yes, but it can't detect it they're meaningful in any way that would require a response. That means responders are showing up to areas with nothing more than the knowledge that a gun was discharged, which leaves them fewer resources to allocate to actual problems.

I ain't paying any attention to speculation. He hasn't dropped out until he's actually dropped out.

Ohhhh Shhhhoiiiit this is a step in the right direction!

No one would ever try to drive through a large group of cars going past, why force your way into bikes?

I think the amazing thing is how much improvement you get from going from "choose one" to "choose all you like." (AKA approval voting). The ultimate goal is proportional representation, but approval is such an easy first step.

If we had Approval Voting people would be able to vote for third party candidates independent of what they do concerning major party candidates. And, their support would always be shown in the final tally on election day.

Probably the first time I've ever looked at a presidential lineup and simply hoped the two front-runners fall over dead as soon as possible.

They're finally getting rid of these guys because they're old and no one wants to take care of them. That's all.

[–] Bob@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'll agree with that. The love and respect ain't mutual though. They never give it back.

They don't want to help, they want to rule. The emergency gives them an excuse to take control.

Yeah that sounds legally dubious

 
 

 

Yeah. They did exactly that

 

If you live in New Hampshire, I suggest you call your state legislators to support this bill. Approval Voting is a very small change that goes a long way! If you don't live in New Hampshire, send this to someone who does!

 
 

So I'm interested in grinding up some fruits (strawberries or whatever) and just throwing them in a jar and preserving them. Basically I want to make a jam without pectin or sugar. How terrible of an idea is this?
