Ten years in any one position or ten years total in any elected position?

Career politicians have their downsides but for stability you do want a portion of experienced people. Governments comprised entirely of ‘fresh blood’ tend to be a steaming pile of garbage because no-one knows what they’re doing.

Age quotas could be a reasonable solution, if you had an MMP or other proportional system involving members elected at large rather than every election being a direct election.

A quick google for ‘tricycle differential’ returns a bunch of products that are probably in the right power range and would do the trick. Still need hand braking to actually achieve steering.

That makes sense.

Could perhaps put cable/hydraulic bike brakes on both rear wheels, in a position where they can be operated by your left hand individually or together? It seems like this should be possible.

This assumes that the pedals are connected to both wheels via a car-style differential so that the rear wheels aren’t locked together and steering is actually possible.

There might be some very niche applications for this - perhaps extreme balance issues or core issues?

It does not seem like a viable product.

The average age in most electorates is going to be pretty similar, unless you start splitting them up by age.

So you’re going to have representatives serving for one, maybe two terms - anyone staying longer is going to have to move to progressively older electorates each election.

Having them stick around for 50 years isn’t great, but having a constant parade of brand-new mid-30s MPs isn’t going to be any better.

Doesn’t seem possible considering it’s a per ounce listing.

Perhaps it’s suggesting less than 1% impurity in the alcohol; i.e. methanol content?

I believe Trump/Stormy Daniels.

More generally, -ate itself means ‘with oxygen’.

Carbonate = carbon + oxygen

Nitrate = nitrogen + oxygen

Phosphate = phosphorus + oxygen

There is apparently some nuance but it is a good rule to remember: https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/32962/when-to-use-ate-and-ite-for-naming-oxyanions

I didn’t realise it was possible to hate every side of an argument this strongly.

It was a few years back, but after it hit ChromeOS EOL I’m pretty sure it just got some KDE distro; I don’t think I even used LXDE. Didn’t need to do much.

I was mostly using it for web browsing, forums, spreadsheets, documentation etc. Nothing particularly strenuous.

I did have one really fun time of modifying PDF engineering drawings by opening them in Libre Office Draw which it handled kinda OK.

It did get a 240GB SSD but everything else was soldered.

I got a surprising amount of use out of a similarly configured C720 as a general purpose portable machine.

Have you never heard the phrase “died peacefully in his sleep” or “at least it was quick”?

Musk coveted Twitter, and we all know how well that went…

The ‘door’ that blew out wasn’t an emergency exit: it was a plug that filled the hole where an emergency exit would go, if they put more seats in the plane and needed more exits.

From the inside of the plane, it looks like any other row except the window spacing is a bit off. Not an exit row.
