Its CHILLY in the high bay this morning after our open-doors testing yesterday. Gondoliers are bundled up, but the reaction wheel is in!

[Jeff Filippini @JeffFilippini]

Good to finally see you again, ⁦@SPIDER_CMB⁩ ! It’s been a long time…

@FurnessColin @FurnessColin does a third dose of a Covid-19 vaccination really “sextuple” one’s immunity (relative to two shots)? Because that’s what I thought I heard you say on @CBCHereandNow

Maybe obvious, but worth pointing out: if Biden maintains his current leads in both Arizona and Nevada, then he can’t lose (the electoral college). He’s guaranteed at least 270.

[Jamil Shariff @JamilAShariff]

Assuming Alaska is guaranteed to go red, five untallied states are at play, leading to 2⁵ = 32 possible electoral college outcomes. Trump wins in 4 of these cases, whereas Biden wins in 27 of them. The remaining case is a tie.

[Jamil Shariff @JamilAShariff]

The tie is if Biden wins Georgia, but somehow loses everywhere else. So: highly unlikely.
