Steam also reduces their cut down to 25/20% at $10m/$50m in sales, whereas Apple reduces it to 15% only for devs under $1m/yr. A small number of games/apps make the vast majority of revenue so Steam's average cut is

I'm not a huge IRV fan or anything but I don't find rangevoting.org to be all that convincing from a US perspective. Most of their references and stats are two decades old or non-existent (e.g. no reference for 80-95% of AUS voter

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that even today almost all US dishwashers have some mechanism to heat the water, just maybe not the giant exposed element in the bottom like older ones. Water out of the tap is going to be on the lo
