Mull and Vivaldi.

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.

40 hours for me. Work related waste of my life in hindsight. Could have been only 39, but I powered through the last hour to hit the round number.

@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.

I can take it or leave it. I rarely turn it on, and only if its draining slowly. I do not use it purposely for food waste, and honestly don’t know why anyone would.

I’ve had to clean out some nasty clogged pipes before that handled sink waste. Maybe if everyone saw what kind of lovely buildup accumulates nobody would use these things.

Edit: nothing like “someone is wrong on the Internet” brings all the boys to the yard. I’ll stand by my statement because I’m the one who personally snaked over 5 gallons of congealed sludge from the waste pipe in my tiny crawlspace. I didn’t live there long enough and use the disposal enough to explain it, and it wouldn’t have happened if there was no disposal to add that much solid matter over the years. So I personally don’t care if I have one or not since I do the maintenance for free, but I’ll continue to question why they’re even a thing.

If all candidates are on the same timeline then I agree. That’s not the case here. 100 days vs literal years of planning.

Mull is updated as well.

Made a 5" aluminum baseball bat in high school shop class learning how to use a lathe. It’s been on my keys ever since. Thing is probably older than most folks reading this.

I buy all my supplies from companies making more than 25m, who buy from other companies making more than 25m, and so on. My COGS will go up a minimum of 3%, more than likely closer to 10% when you compound the entire supply chain. I don’t care that I won’t pay into the general tax fund, but I sure as hell care that I’ll have to convince my retail customers to pay 10% more on my products after already struggling with inflation cost increases the last few years.

Two letter TLDs are reserved for countries. No gTLDs use a two letter TLD.

According to the rules set by the org that controls the fate of IO. They can easily change the rules if they wanted. There is a vested interest in not losing IO, and nothing but their own rule to stop them. Who’s to tell them they can’t do whatever they want in this matter?

Yep. This is such a weird fear monger topic.

If the country that owns IO ceases to exist then IANA will just make it an ICANN generic TLD. Such a widely used TLD won’t be allowed to disappear. The rules are all made up anyway.

Upgrade to 5.0.1 to patch.

ActiveSync is to Exchange as IMAP/POP3 is to other email providers.

So if you want your email client to speak with an Exchange server you’re using ActiveSync, not other protocols used by other types of servers.

Exchange ActiveSync is a licensed protocol. If any FOSS app handles it for free I’d love to know.

They explain nothing. They’re in the same boat as all others: open source will let them keep MV2 longer than mainstream chrome, but that future is uncertain as the main project codebase starts to evolve around MV3 and backward compatibility to hack MV2 back in gets lost over time. Nobody here can make promises, and sites that make that make those judgments are naive.
