The problem is, yes its its theoreticaly possible, but praticaly speaking it would be near impossible.

Theoretically, you need to get 51% of the population all vote for one person. However, with FPTP, you get one choice on the ballot. Is the average voter going to risk their vote on a 3rd party, or vote for who they belive to be the "lesser evil" of the two that have a shot at winning.

Even if you do manage to get 51%, there's the electoral collage. Never forget, our democracy has built-in the ability to overwrite the presidential vote.

Your first hurdle is getting any one to name an independent candidate.

Nah, that one seems too funny to miss

Leaching on to mod powers to grab attention, for what purpose, I do not know.

Yo...that's a major spoiler you got there in a completely unrelated community.

Or help them along

Not as bad as my stop sign collection

Not too sure about the middle part, but the end was pointing out that baby pictures of little Sally playing in the tub are not okay to share or take in the first place.

Its a common enough situation where Ma is going through the baby album with your bride-to-be or a total stranger (mother-in-law) and there's a bunch of photos of under-dressed children that would definetny make the wrong crowd happy to have.

Most inhabitants are great, you just have get to know them a a bit...but avoid those tall hairless monkeys, those things are vicious.

You should probably get a louder smoke decetor if you can barely hear it upstairs.

I'm going to go with the DIY approach;

For the water sensor, I'd look into the possibility of linking the basement alarm to a speaker upstairs. I've no idea what kind of alarm you're looking at or what the electronics are like. Theoreticaly, you can jump off the audio signal just before it reaches the speaker. Send the audio signal through an amp (located close* to the alarm, preferably where it won't get wet) and connect it to a speaker upstairs.

I would never try to mess with a smoke detector I rely on, but a water sensor...buy two and have fun.

*the amp is to overcome voltage drop in the new cable, I doubt that the sensor electronics will be capable of driving a seperate speaker with at least 30 ft of cable between it.

Yeah, the first time was for the joke. Second time must have been umm autocorrect.

I am defiantly not making things up to excuse my poor spelling...what can I say? I made a double oops 0ops.

I know...college is a joke for a lot of careers.

I made up this situation pointing out the opposing stereotypes of books and authors.

Reads lots of books = smart person who has lots of potential in life.

Writes lots of books = bum who can barley pay rent.

Parents: you need to read lots of book in your free time to get smart and go to collage.

~~~ Many years later ~~~

Me: I would like to attend university next year. I will pursue an education in literature to achieve my goal of becoming a published author.

Parents: you will not! There is no success as an author, I will not support you going to to school for such a waste.
