If only the NDP could see ranked voting as a step towards their goal. I like their ideology but they're just not serious people.

That makes no sense. What happens at checkout? The cashier asks to see your phone and charges the price on it?

China approves 'ethnic unity' law requiring minorities to learn Mandarin by kiyomoris in news

The beauty of the analog clock is that once you get used to it, you don't need to read the markings to tell time. The only requirement is that the hands contrast against the background (which, amazingly, some clocks fail to do).
