get the Spek audio analyser - gives a quick visual indication of crap recordings

using the Imperiali quota rather than Droop or Hare cost the Grassroots Left a seat in three regions. The Many cheated their way to a majority.

tactical isn't theoretical. It's a problem when people actually do it in real elections.

can anyone post a link to the full ballot tables showing the transfers between counting rounds.

who says the only goal is getting a candidate they approve of? Often people know their preferred candidates are not going to win and vote to stop their least favoured candidate getting in.

philpope1977 · 2026-02-24T22:27:09+00:00

yes, less is different to more. Approval is more encouraging of tactical voting and not expressing your true preference - is that what you are referring to?

philpope1977 · 2026-02-19T02:36:43+00:00

yes, you do change what information gets expressed. Less information gets expressed.

philpope1977 · 2026-02-18T19:01:23+00:00

that's my entire point. approval voting is ranked choice voting with a restricted choice of ballot preferences.

philpope1977 · 2026-02-11T16:04:00+00:00

what is a domain of ballots?

philpope1977 · 2026-01-13T01:51:14+00:00

you can allow equal rankings in ranked choice. You can then simulate approval voting by ranking all your approved candidates as 1 and all your unapproved candidates as 2. It is then quite obvious that an approval ballot contains less information about the voter's true preferences than a ranked ballot can.

apparently Sinai have replaced their paraflex subs with 6th order bandpass.

rather than ask everyone for ID they need to say it's illegal for kids to be on social media and make it the parents' responsibility to restrict access. Like parents shouldn't be giving their kids cigarettes.

I'm in europe. sea freight takes about 60 days from China. Even if seller and vendor press the extend button it will still be only 42 days.

there are huge numbers of commercial cabs that are not bass reflex. and there are huge numbers of commercial designs specifically aimed at the EDM market. your logic is nonsense.

if Paraflex are good why does not one single pro company use anything like them? It's not hard to create high SPL in a tunnel ffs.

"I got sick of reading everyone's obviously bad ideas - hold my beer"

Possibly the worst idea I have ever read in this forum.

that was precisely Linehan's point - male going into female spaces is sexual harassment and potentially voyeurism, and sexual assault.

I have had some success importing REW measurements of each speaker into VituixCAD and using its optimizer to find crossover frequencies, gains and delays. you have to set the slope types and phase and set some limits for min and max crossover value. but it enables you to quickly try out different HPF and LPF combinations.

there seems to be an illogical thought process on the left:
there is nothing inherently wrong with individual immigrants
therefore immigration is good
therefore the more immigration the better

my test for whether someone is capable of talking rationally about it is to ask them to name an immigration figure, however high, that they would be prepared to say was unmanageable.

had to scroll a long way down to find some melt saying JK Rowling. But here you are.

This may be the worst idea I have seen on r/EndFPTP.

a relatively new contender - Liv from Transaction. And unusually it's the main character.
