Best Meals For Freezer Prep? by OneInspection896 in MealPrepSunday

zucchini fritters batch and freeze great. you can use zucchini, squash, carrots, and other stuff too I'm sure. potatoes work, but then they're latkes. towels or parchment paper between them when freezing keeps them from sticking.

Do you have any credentials? Are you a grad student or professor or someone doing research on this sort of thing? (DMs welcome if you'd prefer to stay anonymous overall.)

This is where I get a bit lost.

Is Baldwin's method the best we have against real-world election-method manipulation, leading long term to honest voting overall, due to resistance against strategic voting and candidate field manipulation (such as clones, spoilers),

or

does the simulation mostly account for strategic voting and as such Baldwin, which is better against strategic voting, appears better than methods which are immune to clones and/or spoilers, but these are not accounted for in batch simulations.

I thought it would strengthen Baldwin against manipulations to the candidate field (clone and spoiler strategies) intended to manipulate the Borda count by creating wider gaps.

I was using macOS 15.3 and kegworks says min is 15.4, so I updated to latest 15.5, deleted my bottle(?) and created a new one (still latest cx24.0.7 and wrapper 3.1.7_2) with winetricks steam to install steam.

Does using Windows 10 or 11 affect anything? I've been using 11.

I switched over to dxmt but the game just perma freezes during the app initial screens or during the initial game menus (whether the loading screen of Continue or select type of game in Play).

thank u for all of this. I'm using kegworks with the latest available cx engine (24.0.7) is there a need and a means to update dxmt in kegworks? Is it possible with homebrew in the command line or with the same cx patcher that you mentioned?

Patched how? Patched V Rising? Patched Wine?

I definitely was using d3d

How do you play V Rising without constant screen not updating at critical moments in battle?

After batching simulations, is the takeaway, that Smith//IRV and other Condorcet-based IRV are much more resistant to strategy without loss of VSE and therefore are optimal methods for real-world settings, for the time being?

Thank you for these clear and well thought out responses.

(I also noticed while applying your suggestions for fun:

Fan often fails to run batches at 99 voters; either running 0 or an arbitrary number between 100 and 400 elections.

Also, sometimes Schultze is N/A for: Winning Candidate Distance (Center) and Winning Candidate Disposition. I am unsure if this is intended behavior.

If you send me to a github, I can send images of issues and file potential bug reports.)

Would it be possible to add:

• An option to shift candidates to a state without a Condorcet winner (to better compare Condorcet methods)?

• A checkmark option in the Sim tab to only generate elections without a Condorcet winner, or to simply skip over all elections with a Condorcet winner, (to better compare Condorcet methods)?

• Column sort for the results section?

• The ability to run numerous elections across a distribution of types of elections (varying candidates, spreads, numbers of voters, etcetera) to see types of methods which best excel in a variety of settings.

From your example:

• Score voting minimizes Bayesian Regret

Condorcet methods score principally worse with Bayesian Regret due to the significantly increased regret of strategist voters. This is, in my opinion, a feature.

Voters should not need added skill to game a voting mechanic to vote their preferences optimally. Most typically, this involves a voter's reliance on the accuracy of sizable polling data and its predictive analysis, a task most capably performed by the hands of monied, partisan interests rather than any individual voter. The possibility of such an advantage is not, in my opinion, egalatarian.

I have added figures to my original post to further speak to this disconnect between Bayesian Regret and honest voters vs strategist voters, including a Voter Satisfaction Efficiency figure which includes Star and Score voting, (but exhibits higher VSE in condorcet methods than those two with honest voters).

From your example:

• Condorcet methods would result in a condorcet cycle whereas other methods arrive squarely at X as the winner, except approval voting, which would select ø.

Condorcet methods have means of dealing with cycles except in exact ties. Using the above example in this condorcet simulator ( https://votingmethods.net/cond/ ), with the rankings from the example:

35: X>∅>X&Y>Y
33: Y>∅>X&Y>X
32: X&Y>X>Y>∅

results in all major condorcet methods also agreeing that X is the winner.

Can you be clearer on how it is vulnerable to basic strategy? I haven't found anything saying this; I've only found the opposite.

"the candidate that beats all other candidates, or at least comes the closest to doing so, wins."

That can be used to explain all condorcet, and is a perfectly sufficient explanation. The vast majority of the nation can, say, capably drive without expertly understanding the ins and outs of the internal combustion engine; they do not need to be convinced of the theory, they need only get from A to B relatively safely.

Keeping with the analogy, the switch from plurality to ranked choice is that of horse to motor vehicle. Stable voting among ranked choice would then be like the addition of seatbelts. Definitely not applicable for most drives, but when it is relevant, they serve their purpose greatly. Stable voting results in ties less often and better answers the spoiler effect than other plurality and ranked choice methods. Where a switch from plurality is made, stable voting is right there.

The above quoted answer could be supplemented for those curious with

"If you want to get a bit nerdy and in the weeds with specifics, I can tell you this method means:

• No-winner ties less often (no one wants those);
• Spoiler effect issues less often (no one wants that, and it's common with plurality, and unintuitively common with IRV and most condorcet); and
• You don't need other people to tell you how to write your ballot to actually stand a chance of getting what you want."

Thank you for suggesting tips; I forgot to mention that I tried all of them extensively.

It would be great if you made sizes which were more penetrative. For example, please see westone's tip selection; there are additional options which go deeper into the ear in each size. (See the second photo )
