That and also that it's natural they would jack up prices to be at or just below the cost of maintaining your own servers, otherwise everyone would just run their own servers

I have the purple pillow. It's great! Both sides are "the cold side" and, if needed, you could kill a man with it!

The presidential election is decided entirely by electoral votes, and once those are cast then that's that. You cannot just change it to ranked choice unless you change the constitution itself

However, states are free to decide how they want to allot their electoral votes. Considering it is a state-by-state contest by nature, only that interpretation is even feasible. Technically you could do it if every state decided on the same system of RCV, but I highly doubt you could get every state to effectively make it a popular vote decision, considering most states already don't like that idea.

No that's when it touches the toilet itself, not the water

It IS a state-by-state contest. The electoral votes each state decides to give are decided completely at a state level, and it should be at a state level. Each state has different priorities, different laws, different populations, and are all differently affected by the result of the presidential election, so just because they voted for C doesn't mean each individual state wouldn't have a preference for A over B given a different choice at a state level.

As an example, Kansas may put C as first choice and B as second choice due to their state-specific priorities. Florida may put C as first choice and A as a second choice for whatever their reason may be.

If B gets thrown out in the end, then each state needs to resolve their votes differently to reflect their differences in priorities. It's the most fair.

B got the least votes in the first round, so B is dropped. I don't see what the problem, here, is

The number of people breaking through 150 miles in a single trip is significantly lower than 95%. 150 mile range is plenty for them.

I've driven more than 150 miles once in the last three years

I drove from Minnesota to Kansas in an EV. Wasn't too bad, just a few stops to charge. I needed to eat and go for a walk, anyways

I think you underestimate how many people never leave their home city

.... The comparison, here, is WhatsApp, so

Besides, surprisingly people like cross-device sync even if they happen to not have access to their old devices
