“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,” Moran wrote in his since-deleted post. “Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”

Yeah, I ain’t got the energy for this.

Most frustrating thing is it doesn’t just delete the OP and hide the link but it nukes the entire thread and all replies.

There was a great thread yesterday about music with tons of recommendations that I saved to look at later only to find that it was deleted this morning and everything’s gone. It’s such a waste. Why even participate if it’s just going to be deleted like this?

Hi Doctor Nick!

Haven’t seen part two, but the fuck is that? Ugh.

Ah, thanks for finding the facts. So the first election had a surprise result. It worked exactly as designed, and either people didn’t understand that could happen or they’ve since been convinced it was contrary to what they wanted.

Given the whole goal of RCV is that outcomes are satisfying to the largest number of people you’d think this result wouldn’t have had a backlash like what we’ve seen.

I’d bet the losing party was behind the measure, and I’m somewhat happy to see it fail. I hope that means the majority of people were in fact satisfied.

Some jurisdictions using FPTP may do a runoff if there’s no winner with a 50% mandate, but most do not. Split votes such as 45/40/15 with 45% declared the winner can and do happen.

If I remember correctly one of the first major elections using RCV resulted in the person who overall got the most first choice picks losing the person who overall get the most second and third choice pics. So it worked as designed in that the winner was the person with over 50% of the vote, but it really upset all the people who had supported the person who would have won under the previous first past the post system.

@MajorHavoc has it covered. It’s the flush valve that varies most. Most common is the flapper design, but some brands use plastic towers.

Fill valves are almost universally interchangable. Your variables there will be age and interference. You’d have to go back to basically antiques before things become incompatible. As for interference, units with the big float on the end of a rod may not fit in a tank that uses a tall flush valve. They make more compact styles for those situations.

All that bring said… What are you trying to fix? The flush and fill valves are by far the most common maintenance items, but if neither of those things are the issue then you’re going to run into proprietary parts fast.

Not since SCOTUS gutted the voting rights act.

Not for a couple years now.
