There are different versions of PR the best imo is the single transferable vote STV where you vote for your 1st pick and then your 2nd so if your 1st doesn't win your 2nd is taken into a/c google for fuller description

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

What caused Earth's biggest mass extinction? Scientists have debated until now what made Earth's oceans so inhospitable to life that some 96 percent of marine species died off at the end of the Permian period. New research shows the "Great Dying...

Periodic reminder of why we must decarbonize. The Permian extinction was the planet killer. It was caused by - wait for it - greenhouse gas warming: >90% of all species went extinct.
Under business as usual we're 20% the way there by 2100, 35-50% by 2300.

The driver "managed to contact the control
centre at Network Rail and get the train
diverted onto the slow line", Calder says.


"That was absolutely crucial because this
train was scheduled to be travelling through
Huntingdon station on the tracks with no
platform at 125mph."


"It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere,
which would have been very difficult."


Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest
possible way" thanks to the "incredible
professionalism from the driver and the
police". Train drivers are trained on how to
take appropriate action, he adds,

A young cutting of an Echeveria, hybrid growing into a fully crested shape. It has leaves growing along the top including some in a rosette pattern. The rest are growing more randomly as crested specimens do.

This is a crested Echeveria that started as a small branch growing on my large Echeveria hybrid. After repotting, it's taken less than a year for the stem to change into this cool fan shape. 🌱

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
β€œFACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new β€œweapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
