That’s the most common, but there are weird pasta types out there made with beans or cauliflower or such…

The majority of those are vegan by design, but I’ve seen a few that were just gluten-free, and still used egg as a binder.

Usually sold as egg noodles, yes.

Most Italian died pasta is going to be made with just flour and water, but again, there are exceptions.

There are vegan sauces that are quite nice, sure, they’re just not Worcestershire sauce.

Hell, I’ll go further and say that if it’s not made by Lea and Perrins, it’s not Worcestershire sauce.

Dry pasta is. Any other noodle will not be. Eggs are used in a lot of places.

All Worcestershire sauce. It’s fermented anchovy sauce with some spices.

Anything that doesn’t have the anchovy, isn’t Worcestershire sauce.

Basic used “else”.

It’s nice. “if”, “then”, and “else”. I spent a year programming a shitty roulette game on an Apple 2e back in high school. I still remember the joy of using if/then/else paired with goto to make a horrible mess of spaghetti logic.

But yeah, “else” is nice.

So I forever work on legacy systems.

Not ideal, but there’s quite a bit of job security in it.

Yup, kbin for the win.

Just wish it had a mobile app…

Actually, no.

Bullet voting is just a thing people do.

Even in places that have been using versions of RCV for decades, about 30% of any given population will bullet vote.

That’s info from FairVote themselves (The main proponents of RCV, even if they’re sort of scummy in their advocacy)

The downvote option turns it from Approval into Score.

I personally like STAR, which is Score, but then adds in some extra features to make it all work better.

Ranked Choice is actually (much) worse overall than the modified Score that OP is describing, even with bullet voting.

As a note, Ranked Choice still has bullet voting. About 30% of voters in a ranked choice election bullet vote.

This video goes into a deep dive about Ranked Choice (and some other systems) and talks about how Ranked Choice might actually be worse than simple plurality. (which is already pretty bad)

A slight misconception in your comment, what OP is describing is much closer to a slightly limited version of Score. Or possibly an expanded Approval.

It’s nothing like Ranked Choice.

To break things down, Ranked Choice is an Ordinal voting system. You rank candidates A then B then C.

The actual mechanics of the election are a series of First Past the Post elections all on a single ballot.

To contrast, Approval and Score are both Cardinal voting systems. You express preference for A, but that doesn’t mean anything about your preference for B. The votes per candidate are counted independently of the votes for any other candidate. This means that Cardinal voting systems are 100% immune to the spoiler effect. They’re also almost completely immune to clone candidates and other such attacks.

Ordinal systems will always fall victim to the spoiler effect, although the more complex ordinal voting systems like Ranked Choice mitigate it somewhat (while making things so much worse when it does crop up)

To be fair, Napoleon didn’t actually start any of his wars, it was the European nobility launching wars to reinstate the French Monarchy.

It depends on the island. Napoleon died on a remote island. It took a few tries though.

Subway will also sell franchises to anyone and everyone, regardless of how close another franchise is.

It makes a lot of money for corporate at the expense of fucking over the franchise owners.

The military like doesn’t do it, but the almost certainly CIA does…

Another bonus of that community, actual discussions about the shows in the comments. Well, sometimes.

I automatically block most meme communities, there’s almost never anything worthwhile to them, just pointless nonsense.

I do admit to keeping one or two of the really niche ones around, like risa@startrek.website

Buried in this very report, they note that Instagram and Twitter have vastly more (self generated) child porn than the Fediverse. But that’s deep into section 4, which is on page 8. No one is going to read that far into the report, they might get through the intro, which is all doom and gloom about decentralized content.

Since the release of Stable Diffusion 1.5, there has been a steady increase in the
prevalence of Computer-Generated CSAM (CG-CSAM) in online forums, with
increasing levels of realism.17 This content is highly prevalent on the Fediverse,
primarily on servers within Japanese jurisdiction.18 While CSAM is illegal in
Japan, its laws exclude computer-generated content as well as manga and anime.

Nope, seems to be the one. They lump the entire Fediverse together, even though most of the shit they found was in Japan.

The report notes 112 non-Japanese items found, which is a problem, but not a world shaking issue. There may be issues with federation and deletion orders, which is also an issue, but not a massive world shaking one.

Really, what the report seems to be about is the fact that moderation is hard. Bad actors will work around any moderation you put in place, so it’s a constant game of whack-a-mole. The report doesn’t understand this basic fact and pretends that no one is doing any moderation, and then they add in Japan.
