I don’t get the hubbub about French food either. I’ve been to fancy french restaurants, and the food was good but nothing special. Some French cheese is very good, but i can get that at local gourmet markets. The prepared dishes themselves were not remarkable to me

Yes, that is what we want.

He’s not doing anything. His model is setup many months before the election, and then it stays completely unchanged until the election is over. He doesn’t do any polling, he just runs his pre-set simulation model on the data that the pollsters release

50.015% literally means that neither candidate is favored to win. Take out a coin, assign Harris as heads and trump as tails, now flip the coin a bunch of times - and that’s exactly how often Harris or trump is likely to win the election

EDIT

Nate Silver just posted his final pre-election blog post and he explains very clearly that this is a dead even race. Either candidate is just as likely to win as the other candidate.

Nowhere in the article does it say anything to suggest who he was voting for. In a population of 300 million there are gonna be some number of crazies in every demographic

EDIT

y’all are loopy. I’m 100% team Harris, i even phonebanked for her - did you? All i said is that there’s nothing in the article about whether he’s a trumper or not, and there are some number of insane non-trumpers out there. If you think literally all people who aren’t voting for trump are sane, then you’re the one who’s insane. It doesn’t matter whether this particular person turns out to be trumper or not, the point is we shouldn’t jump to conclusions or else we’ll eventually wind up with egg on our face

We’ll see. Gen Z - show us up in our dumb old faces. Are zoomers just the new boomers?

(What other phrases can i use to goad more zoomers into actually going to the voting booth?)

Drier sheets/fabric softeners do nothing. In fact they actually harm some items

Better is better. Everything else is just silly pointless judgment

That’s not a reasonable solution for laptops

A couple years? Hah! Once apple gives it 16 GB that’s gonna be the same amount they have for like 15 years

Where is gender plasma?

Aspirin is an NSAID

Known as acetaminophen (Tylenol) in the US

Fyi the word for nieces and nephews is niblings. That way you can just say a single word

Honestly i kinda do like the feeling of having a fever. That pleasant feeling isn’t worth being sick, but i do like that feeling

I’m somewhat sure that when your pay for a subscription through the play store that it doesn’t send your full credit card information to any 3rd party, it’s google itself that does the credit card transaction

You’re not thinking about replicator/transporter technology as broadly as it’s capable of. There could be hundreds of versions of each individual dish. In fact there could be variation algorithms that make it seem like a unique preparation every single time. And people could simply ask for how they want it prepared, like “roasted peppers, spicy” in the same way they ask for “earl gray, hot”.

Even further, transporter technology is the most over powered technology in the whole start trek universe. It’s a thread you can’t start pulling at otherwise the whole fictional universe falls apart.

For example you could kill anyone anywhere without a trace just by transporting a dose of cyanide into their blood. There would be no hallways wasting valuable space inside the ship, people would simply be transported to wherever they wanted to go (aside from a network of small tunnels for emergencies if the transporter is down). And there would be no need for more than a single docking bay at most, just make the entire hull a single sealed surface and transport the entire shuttle and it’s contents inside. Possibly most universe-breaking is that you’d be able to replicate anything, even equipment. Instead of just one enterprise you could replicate it and have a thousand enterprises, or a million enterprises!

I would guess that the writers have imposed some weird limitations on the tech that would prevent these types of scenarios, but i can’t imagine any that could validly apply to what we’ve seen transporters do in all the various episodes.

There’s no technological reason why there couldn’t be hundreds of versions of each exact dish. In fact they could’ve even had a simple variation program so that every time it’s made it comes out a bit different

Quiet? On a motorized lawn mower?

Whether or not this poll is real doesn’t matter. The reality is that this election is literally a 50-50 coin toss right now, so you have to do everything you can to help Harris win!!! Volunteer to make calls, speak to your friends and family and make sure they have a specific plan to go vote, offer car rides or baby sitting to help people actually get to the voting booth, - whatever you can think of doing!!!
