seppo is short for septic tank, which is rhyming slang for yank, short for yankee, so calling a southerner a seppo is an instant two hit combo, or it would be if they understood it at all.

just imagine that there are several versions of English that sound like Boomhauer from King of the Hill (but worse) to outsiders, and that all of these accents are less than a hour's drive from each other.

SlothfulCobra posted:No it means exactly what it means, there are a shitload of people voting the other way in states that otherwise show as solid one color who are only circumstantially unrepresented in the current balance. You can't just disregard millions of people existing indefinitely. A little shifting around could wildly change all your preconceived expectations. I don't want a solid colour, I want a pie graph or similar. Like yeah, there are a shitload of people voting the other way in states where there are a shitload of people because that's how it works. It's like saying "did you know that more people in Greater London voted for Brexit than did in North East England? makes you think!" Greater London has a population of ~5.4 million compared to NE England's ~1.9 million. ~1.5 million voted Leave in London compared to ~778 thousand in NE England. The Leave percentages were 40.07% and 58.04% respectively, which is a much more meaningful metric Gravitas Shortfall fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Apr 3, 2024 |

alnilam posted:It does make you think though. In the US, there's a real phenomenon where people tend to look at a map and see e.g. state is red = irredeemable shithole full of chuds (or vice versa). The whole point of that raw numbers view is: if you're a chud in Texas and you think CA is a commie hellhole where you dare not tread, you're ignoring that there are actually more chuds total in that state than in your own. Yeah, those block colours are misleading for sure. I think heat-map style maps are more useful in that regard, since it tells a more nuanced story.

Carbon dioxide posted:It is politically-loaded because the historic orange/white/blue flag was "claimed" by the Dutch nazi party during WW2 and it is nowadays still only used by far-right chuds who would like to bring back colonialism and slavery. which is annoying, because it's a more distinctive tricolour than the current flag.

a lot of the NZ climate is a bit like the UK but slightly warmer, the real problem is that the housing quality is absolute dogshit and it's only recently that concepts like "decent heating", "insulation", and "some form of air conditioning" have become popular.

Private Speech posted:The double glazing thing is news to me, living in a brick house refurbished about ten years ago. AC no, but even the lovely flats I've lived in have been double glazed. IDK about wall insulation but row houses have the advantage of generally being bracketed on each side by other houses. That's in London tho.
