Also depends on who turns up. If a party can’t get its voters to come out - especially reluctant voters, that can make a big difference. If you are a Democrat but aren’t that keen on Biden and you think he’ll win your area anyway, you might

Maybe people could club together and form some form of group which provides that minimum requirement for the whole area. You could perhaps have an equal say in the group, and have a meeting every few years where you elect some people to run

It’s already deployed objects - tiles, paint etc. The doors opened on IFT3. If it was life or death starship could put something into orbit right now. Obviously it’s not the best solution for that currently (compared to say an FH) - they w

It reached orbital velocity, just in a suborbital direction. Had they pointed it a different way it would have been in orbit.

No you don’t know what it was like. I’m in my 40s and have a very specific view of what things were like in my teens, or 20s, or even 30s. That view is wrong. Rose tinted Nostalgia glasses are very real.

This is the London system we’ve had for a decade, it was licensed to other areas a few years ago. I found myself in Paris having to cross the other day and forgot how terrible the old way of buying tickets was, amazed that it’s still the no
