    - the former for clothes and stuff usually. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 1, 11:58

"effective mayor" reminded me of this. the number one reason I am opposed to ranked voting is Oakland's current mayor. - b. Mar 1, 11:43 3
- I *love* the idea of ranked choice BUT the first time we had it, omg, we voted in some tea level nut case with one issue campaign that was slapped dow - zeitgeist Mar 1, 11:54 2
  - I know it saves money and such, but the risk is so not always worth the reward. too many of those stories now, and no way to guarantee all decent - b. Mar 1, 11:57 1
    - the reason I like ranked choice is that it gives us a chance to vote for the 3rd party candidate while not taking away from the 2nd choice who would - zeitgeist Mar 1, 12:02

      - ah. I seldom eat anything like that at once, like ever; so it's not a thing. - b. Mar 1, 12:05
      - Yup. If I like it enough to have one around, I'm not going to find it easy to eat just part of it. -- nm - mara Mar 1, 12:03
      - No, IMO there is a case to be made for simply tossing it in the garbage and buying Cadbury or something instead -- nm - con_carne Mar 1, 12:03
- I have a wife and family of mimi-Twixes! - Twix Bar Mar 1, 11:48

    - The British perception of American food is just as awful as the American perception of British food. (Both countries - highly underrated) -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 11:40 3
      - As I've only experienced Western Canada's soggy excuse for English food, I am biased ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:45 2
        
        That's the cooking, not the food. But a well-made roast lamb with mint sauce? Or fish and chips? Mmmmmmm... -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 11:52 1
        
        Fish and chips we do quite well here. Possibly even at that sketchy place you went to. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 12:25

        They're also much better at mass transit. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 1, 11:57 2
        
        I'm not sure about that. London's is expensive, and outside London it's not as good. -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 12:07 1
