Reduce your fractions folks

Just got caught up on From myself and super excited for new episodes!

Supreme Court appointments don’t matter?

Different model, same website. Silver got to keep his model and took it elsewhere after departing from 538.

“cis” isn’t an acronym, FYI. It’s just short for “cisgender” and doesn’t need to be capitalized. No shade intended at all, just wanted to let you know.

I’m going to take a different approach than most of the other comments here: you can’t. Microplastics are in the air and a large chunk of it comes from car tire residue. You’re breathing it, likely right now. Research is still in the early phases and we just don’t know how bad it is yet, both from the proliferation and the impact side of things.

Source is Breaking the Plastic Wave and Overview on the occurrence of microplastics in air.

Ah, there’s the catch and confusion. Not required for single player but required for multi, I guess? Not sure how others play Civ but that’s not gonna affect me. I’ve only ever played these games solo besides a very rare duo game.

It doesn’t. They mentioned there would be a unique skin for Napoleon if you signed up but it didn’t sound required.

Holy shit, Timesplitters!

pathfinding

Pathfinders, you could say

I think the distributed nature of Mastodon keeps government control from being an issue. It would be kind of cool as a space for citizens to ask for assistance or air grievances while giving the politicians an officially owned space for things like announcements.

Not really. Most large story DLCs for any Bethesda game require all expansions. I suspect it’s for assets, but I would also just pick the largest use case (and already owning the expansions most certainly is the largest use case) and say it’s a requirement also, so I’m not chasing down edge cases for people all day. Just the rough math of releasing something you have to support afterwards.

It’s listed in the article. It’s “Forever” by Judy Blume. Not sure that I’m familiar with it.

Hey, that’s a neat image. I’ve seen other ways of visualizing the popular vote on a map but this one looks wonky as hell and I like it.

I got this bundle and it has been really disappointing. The board games are good but the digital versions leave a lot to be desired… Lots of sync issues and UX trouble on Root. Quilts and Cats of Calico started in like 800x600 resolution and the first item in the main menu was a tutorial popup. Declined it to change my resolution and could not find a way to launch it again. Haven’t tried the rest yet but given that most of them are made by Direwolf, I’m not that eager to.

None of that works when “because I say so” is supported by a majority of the electorate. I’m not sure where the numbers come up exactly on Walters and this specific issue, but the Oklahoma electorate is not gonna be as clean cut against this as you might hope.

Yknow, this is always an interesting topic for me. The mental image of a politician oftentimes takes in stances going all the way back to the beginning of their careers. Much like anyone else though, they can change and evolve. In this case, it seems that Walz changed his views after a mass shooting, which is a traumatic event and impetus for a lot of folks to change their views. Other notable cases are Obama’s views on LGBT marriage rights and a lot of Biden’s views. It’s inevitable that politicians with long careers, especially those on the democratic side, will have to evolve. The public often then accuses them of hypocrisy. How do we effectively determine when change is authentic versus pandering? An evolving person versus a hypocrite?

Would be happy to help!

Nope! I don’t have to post to recognize horrible sources in the same way that I don’t have to write a song to know one hurts my ears to listen to.

Because Newsweek in particular deserves it? Post better sources.
