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.

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

I think the main problem with the wii-u was literally just the name

Mastodon isn't a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

No way, your premise is wrong. Photos from a 2024 phone are MASSIVELY better than a photo from phones that came before a camera bump existed. The last iPhone that didn't have a bump was the iPhone 6.

EDIT

Actually it was the iPhone 5s

Saying Jews are awesome is not a valid statement, because just like every group some of them are awesome, some are neutral, and some are awful. It should say something like "Jews are regular people"

Seriously. Just because he didn't know the type of gun doesn't mean it was a threat. It sounds like he was just saying "just fyi there's a gun out", because lots of people will freak the fuck out if they see a gun.
