Yeah, exit polling is literally asking people as they walk out of the polls

This could also just simply boil down to why do we trust polls so much anyways

Statistical analysis is a science.

The problem is it’s not taught in k-12 and most never learn it in college

So people don’t understand it, media represents it however they’ll get the most clicks/views.

The problem with polling isn’t polling, it’s the media’s and viewers’ misinterpreting the results that’s the problem

Not really.

There’s have to be a population where a large amount not only voted that way, but when they voted that way it was statistically different.

Like, there may very well be something where a population like women voted differently by mail because their husbands watch.

But in my state someone is allowed to “help” so the couple in front of me the man voted, then went to the woman’s booth and “helped” her.

All while outside the cops talked to a screaming red hatter who apparently had to turn his trump shirt inside out and when he did poll workers say the multiple hand guns in his waistband.

Don’t worry tho, the poll workers let him skip the line and vote while the cops showed up and talked to him for 2 minutes before letting him drive off.

So before you think of what shady shit may happen with mail in, you need to realize plenty of shady shit happens day of too.

Yeah, cool for you and a priceless reminder of a childhood vacation.

Just not something worth any money or even worth passing down thru the family.

If you ever watch Mitchell and Webb they have a bit where archeologists find a VHS cassette of a toga party and insist it’s an authentic recording from ancient Rome.

Yeah. It’s just random (relatively) modern piece of tubing that either fell off a boat or was tossed over board.

Cool memory for OP, and they picked up a piece of trash from the ocean.

I’ll never understand why trolls make a new account referencing the banned one, makes it easy to block at least

Why do they need a patent for this?

Because if they did it without one, anyone could do it.

If they get the patent, even if they don’t do it, anyone who does have to pay them.

How would this not conflict with just tv remotes?

Video games and TVs are different enough devices

and the charger often quite warm.

People hate on bricks, but they’re still around because of heat dissipation.

Charging a phone in an hour is a lot different than keeping a laptop going for 8 hrs.

That and it was over a decade ago.

Like, Kamala is by no means perfect. But she’s a hell of a lot better than Biden, obviously better than trump, and literally the only option at this point.

If you want to try and pull her to the left on prison reform, then that could be a good use of time and effort. But complaining about something from over a decade ago doesn’t help anything.

The twitter knockoffs always “mention” the person they’re replying to.

I block them because 99% of the post they make they don’t mean to make, and they never seem to understand what’s happening, explaining is just a waste of time.

But as long as they “@ you” you’ll still get new notifications.

If you’re talking about wanting to just get rid of their replies that are still in your inbox without clearing it…

Not sure why, but at least on my instance there’s a green check to acknowledge a notification and it’ll go away

Well yeah, there’s no “V” Device, it’s not a thing.

It’s the “V” Devic

t’s just bc it’s so big

It’s not the World is big…

It’s just everyone else is so small.

Like in the grand scheme of the fediverse we’re all tiny. But of the “reddit clone” instances it might be bigger than everyone else put together even.

I went over to your instance and checked, and yeah, it’s a reddit clone interface too

The structure makes all of us “like reddit” because reddit has always had a shit ton of different small subs with vastly different vibes. A decade ago there was some sub on Reddit that had the exact same vibe your instance has today. That’s just how big reddit was.

Federation just means no one group of admins can seize control, even if World went to shit tomorrow, everyone would just bounce. I have zero “loyalty” to my instance, if it starts to suck I’m out.

That’s the point of this whole thing.

Out of curiosity, how old was that drive?

Direct from Seagate wouldn’t be bad, check their store first to see if you can cut out Amazon.

I was talking about random reseller stores. “Manufacturer refurbished” for things you can’t see is almost always a good idea. The manufacturer has their brand name on the line and usually go over common fail points and replace if it looks worn.

Stores/Amazon doing “renewed” means they tried to cover up superficial damage and is completely different. It might look ok on the outside and be complete junk on the inside.

Think of “renewed” as “open box returns” except it might have taken the last user 5 years to return. It’s a much worse gamble.

Depends.

If it’s “buy from Amazon” then you can return it with no issue if shits bad.

If Amazon is just the middleman, than the seller could be scamming and will either fight returns or just close up shop. I wouldn’t buy any used electronic over $200 from a middle man because of that, so this is kind of on the line.

But modern HDDs hold up a lot better than they used to. I tend to “ship of Theseus” PC builds and I’ve got some HDDs probably 15 years old that are still going strong.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard anyone say a HDD failed. Just people remembering what it was like 25 years ago. We don’t think of innovation with old tech like HDDs, but there’s been a lot of improvements to the parts that used to fail regularly.

Exos x18 are enterprise drives that came out last than 5 years ago, I can’t imagine they were replaced because they’re all bad, just companies upgrading to newer tech. So should be fine and last you well over a decade.

It’s probably going to a web interface for RGB and maybe mouse sensitivity instead of special software.

Not sure why it would require Chrome to do so, but that doesn’t mean it’s constantly talking to Chrome when you use it either.

It doesn’t seem like we’re getting all the information

Cats play by ambushing something over and over and rolling around with it…

Dogs play by running sprints as long as someone keep throwing a ball…

I’m not sure what your confusion still is

You just see more dogs running around excited than you do cats…

A cat is a solitary predator that uses stealth than pounces.

Dogs are pack predators, they get food by running around making a shit ton of noise and hoping something runs so the pack can chase it down.

That translates to modern pets day to day activity.

If you ever saw a cat run around like a dog, it would pant. If you saw a dog that acts like a cat. You’d never see it pant.

You would just have to find it…

Like, if you didn’t have anything to use the app. You would just have to physically find it…

Same way you find anything else that doesn’t have an app

It’s weird on a day old thread you immediately get two extra upvotes, and I get three downvotes as soon as you reply…

I don’t help people who play thos silly games, have a nice life.
