It is curious to me that even though 110 k new people have joined since I joined , the number of up votes and posts seems to have remained constant . Even if people are just reading you would think the vote numbers would have changed to reflect this increase . <| sep |> Agreed . I started with extract just due to space constraints and now I ' m itching like crazy to move into a space with enough storage that my brew stuff isn ' t just sitting in my bedroom . <| sep |> Meh . Can ' t you play any of the other maps , or put your ' starting room challenge ' on hold until you get a few more ? I have plenty of them without farming or dashboarding . They are not THAT rare . <| sep |> This wouldn ' t amend the Constitution . It ' s unlikely to ever happen for other reasons , but this isn ' t a constitutional amendment . States can award their EC votes however they want . In this case , if enough states agreed , they would award them based on the national popular vote . But Texas won ' t agree because today is conservative , and the EC helps Republicans . And if Texas ever became a swing state , they , along with Florida , Ohio , and the other swing states still wouldn ' t agree because they would get extra special pandered to every four years . The rest of the states won ' t agree because they ' re Republican states and because they perceive the EC helps them even though I don ' t recall a politician every making a campaign stop in WY , AK , ND , SD , or MT , but sure it helps you .
