Forest could win the Europa League while getting relegated too.

Which is another way a Championship team could compete in the Champions League the following season.

In civil cases they’re used by those who can afford them to oppress those who can’t.

Lawyers follow the doctrine that both sides need representation in criminal cases but time spent is still weighted to those who pay.

Lawyers claim a position of moral neutrality when picking a side as part of a process which compensates each side differently.

One dramatic way to reform the system is to enforce an equal budget to both sides of a case in civil and criminal cases. If someone pays for thousands of hours of legal representation to attack you, you should be able to spend that money on legal representation too.

All too often defending a case is not worth the price.

Anecdotally I’d actually like to bring a case against my landlord but the similar cases against them have been sat for years and often time out due to technicalities when someone can’t afford yet another solicitors letter.

Can you still play with the original soundtrack?

They don’t own it.

It’s literally a generic word for video call.

They might have registered it but in the EU it’s not enforceable in the context of video calls.

If Microsoft tries to defend it in that context they could lose it in all contexts.

Probably not an enforceable trademark in France.

Not even a majority of people who voted. A majority means >50%.

Trump received a plurality of voters who voted. Not a majority.

A plurality did not.

~77 milion out of 265 million - Trump

~75 million out of 265 million - Harris

~113 million out of 265 million - Nether

Getting a plurality of votes cast =/= a plurality of voters

It’s how fascism has risen in the past as well. Chasing a minority of voters because they can win an election should be an alarm bell.

Every democratic system should engage a high turnout and require a majority, not just a plurality.

80% turnout should be a norm.

Personally I am in favour of mandatory voting, with the caveat that the bottom of the ballot should have a “none of the above” option. Australia gets a ~90% turnout.

Single Transferable Vote is the best election method as it avoids wasted votes in multi party democracies.

Prep occurs before cooking while the meat is raw.

Unless you’re suggesting cooking our fingers after food prep I think I’ll let someone else try that first.

Places in Germany and Denmark are moving not only away from US servers but US software.

The reason is “digital sovereignty”

So they’re investing in open source solutions. If it works there will be a reason and options to move for political reasons.

If it works and saves money expect a bigger shift.
