So you don't want to include the two most populous states that account for 20% of the US population?

Texas being a leader in coprophagia doesn't make it not the US.

The US ranks 126 by percentage of renewable energy production in the world. Also this has nothing to do with the quality of the grid.

You might live in an area where the grid is good, but a lot of the US is an embarrassment. Propane had a storm this winter that left a lot of people without power for several days. Texas is... Texas it can't handle cold or hot weather. California's grid main purpose seems to be starting fires.

Thank you, it's just crazy how bad the electoral system is in the US.

Pointless side note: autocomplete wrote "electrical system" above and that is also true.

Could you say more about Quebec and proportional representation? I tried searching all I found were some articles about Quebec hating non proportional representation.

I live in the US were as far as I know proportional representation is not a thing, which is incredibly useful to maintain the two party system. I come from a more civilized place with proportional representation and universal healthcare and it hurts so much to see how broken this country is.

I don't know about Windows, on Linux it's at the function level, and some cases are tricky.

Every smart TV is a dumb TV too. Mine has some smart stuff, I think, but I have never used it, and it has never been online.

It's more machine now than man. Twisted and evil.

You're welcome! Tankies are idiotic, I don't understand the appeal, they think they're edgy or something.

I'm not a tankie, fuck Stalin, but the stat is correct: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate

I don't know how well we know China's figures, though.

They're probably banning it in local elections.

Are cheap EVs close in price to cheap ICE in the UK? I have no idea, I'm just curious.
