Finally a question for my vacations!
I would use geothermia. Simply dig a long tube in the ground with the two
halfs at different underground level and put the ends at differents levels
of your house. It should pump cool air
from the underground to your basement, when it gets hot then to the upstairs
where it goes through the second end far underground and back in the cycle.
what is important is that the length
of the underground tubes is long enough so the pumping effect can drag the
hot air form upstairs
stronger then the boussinesq force keeps it elevated (hot air is lighter).
So now can you acknoledge that IRV is better than FPTP ?
I can accpet IRV being worst than any other method (even if I do not agree
all the time)
but FPTP has to be worst!

PS: Maybe I should dig holes in the hotel, it is so hot!

Juho, In Chris' approval example, voters changed their approval votes
for the existing candidates, not simply added approvals for new
candidates. The spoiler is a "nonwinning" candidate who changes the
outcome of an election. I.e. If the new candidate wins, or does not
change the outcome, he is not a spoiler.
Apparently the voters *did* change their opinions between elections
judging from their ballots - rather than using mindreading. Now of
course if you and Chris read all the voters' minds and every voter in
the world thinks exactly like you and Chris imagine them to, then I am
wrong. However, I prefer thinking that I can *not* know how all voters
think or would strategize and to simply judge what a voting method
does given the actual votes.
Hey since you guys seem to think you are much smarter than I am and
you like puzzles, solve this little (true situation) puzzle:
The temperature outside my house is 90+ degrees today and inside my
house is 68 degrees downstairs and 74 degrees upstairs at 5:20 p.m and
this is the hottest it will get inside my house today. Yet I have no
air conditioner, no fan, no swamp cooler, etc. These same
temperatures (roughly) exist inside and outside my house during the
entire summer.
How do I keep my house under 68 degrees inside (downstairs) and under
74 degrees (upstairs) all summer with no air conditioner or swamp
cooler when it is routinely in the 90s outside?
Cheers,
Kathy
