    Really not that complicated. If a person who would otherwise vote Democrat instead votes 3rd party, it helps the Republicans. So the Democrat politician says it to that person. Likewise, the Republican says it to those that would otherwise vote Republican. Both parties now claim that it helps the other, but whom it really helps depends on who would otherwise be voted for.

    From my outside, proportional representative having-position, 3rd party voting only becomes viable if it is discussed outside of the 6 months before an election. And not in the general “3rd party” term, but with an actual party name attached.







  • First the unhelpful answer:

    I transport groceries with my e-bike and a bike bag on either side of the rack. They may not be quite as fancy as the ones you can unhook and carry into the store and the design is probably from the early 2000s, but they’re BIG, so they’re great (apart from the fact that they create so much drag that cycling without the motor is an ordeal).

    Other than that, I did use a shopping trolley for a while. It was fine enough. Wouldn’t recommend to transport cats in those though, you probably need something with tires, not just wheels.





  • A few years back, I would have said that they are trying to uphold the image of democracy. “Vote for Harris, a guy you’ve never heard of or this criminal, your choice” isn’t a good look… sad that we ended up here anyway.

    Probably also trying to avoid the headache of “what happens when a candidate is sent to prison”. That’s either going to be a lot of work for you or someone you know higher up, who isn’t going to like that paperwork, especially such a high profile case.






  • …do your legs fall off once you’ve given birth or why is being a mother a factor?

    Also, I’m pretty sure most 40 year olds are still able to bike perfectly fine. That’s the stereotypical age range for picking up jogging, right?

    But they’re right, the priority is having a working tram/bus network, and having safe lanes for (e-)bikes as an extension of that system.



  • Got into 3D-printing a few years back. Intended to print some replacement parts, a few decorations and gadgets, and took care to not waste too much plastic. In the internet, there are pages dedicated to 3d models other people have printed. They were always a good inspiration on what could be done, and even if the model isn’t exactly what you wanted, it was always a functioning prototype to test with.

    Since last year, multicolour printers have gained popularity. They automatically change between 2 different colours, but to make sure nothing of the old colour is left in the system, every time they change it they print out a few grams of waste product.

    It’s a waste indeed if you look at the “poop bucket” of anyone who uses these types of printers. Idc if it’s only the “technically recycleable PLA” they use, I don’t like it. And now I have to manually filter out those models, and they can fill an entire page depending on what’s the new trend right now.
