I’m not sure. That was my original Q to Silver about the polling.
My bigger point was perhaps Sayed is much more popular than the results show. If he only had a tight race due to R crossover. If he won his race by say 10 points there’d be a much different conversation happening rn about his chances in November.

@Sky18Sam @FearfulDiamond @NateSilver538 It’s definitely possible that 5 or 6 separate pollsters made the same 12 point mistake.
Or perhaps they were accurate in sampling the Democrat electorate and just failed to consider republicans voting to close that gap.

[Meno @menofried]

@FearfulDiamond @NateSilver538 The why doesn’t really matter.
But how did several pollsters have Sayed up 12+ and ends up only winning by 2%? By polling democrats only…and republicans crossing over to vote Stevens and close the gap

@FischerKing64 I used to buy books because I’d take longer than the 3 weeks needed before they were due. Recently local library got rid of all late fees for “equality” or something. Now I’m borrowing there again.

Isn’t that really just the essence of American politics? Everyone voting for their preferred policies? Is it any different than seniors voting to keep/raise social security (at the cost of bankrupting the country)? Or any number of groups voting for their preferred politician on promises of goals?

Gosh. Just mathematically factually wrong. When a $175 sale is made. Buyer paid that amount. eBay payout to seller is around $150. eBay keeps $25 platform fee.

When that sale is refunded, eBay takes that $150 back from the seller and gives back the $25 it collected for a $175 refund to buyer.
On a refund, eBay does not collect back from the seller more than the original payout

In this particular case the seller never showed a valid tracking as delivered no matter what he claims. eBay will side with seller when tracking shows delivered.

There are federal and state laws in terms of housing discrimination. It is illegal to discriminate protected classes. The law itself may be unconstitutional. But the AG is bound to defend the law in its current form.
(Race is a protected class. Political viewpoint is not a protected class).

@FischerKing64 Dems not in much of a better position. Plenty of fractures as well. Who’s their leader going forward? AOC?

The same way you can see your partners flaws bc no one is perfect (as you say). So too these women can see a perhaps bigger flaw in their partners and still say “he’s a good husband”.

Acceptance is a very difficult aspect of a relationship. Our brains work that we focus on what we don’t have. Even when we have 9 out 10 good things in a relationship. Our brains are wired to focus on that final thing.

“If only he would put the kids to sleep or plan date night then I could be happy.” Is a lot less healthy than “ he’s a great guy…with a flaw. He works really hard and provides…and only occasionally does the dishes”
Perhaps focusing on what you have and not what you don’t can make someone happier.

@MattWalshBlog Even worse are the people who purposefully stick out and block the merge/ending lane so people “don’t get ahead of them”

Hate to do it but gotta shill for big pharma on this one.

While the medication is off-patent and can be manufactured generic (for $2 as the doc says). The delivery injection device is what is medically patented.

When the kiddo is going anaphylactic (and seconds count) you don’t be starting to fill a needle with the proper dose of epinephrine. You/teacher prob wouldn’t even be able to draw the medication properly as a kid is lying there swollen and choking.
You just stab with an EpiPen which delivers a proper dose within a matter of seconds.

So can you carry around a syringe and epinephrine? Sure. Do you want your allergy kid to be relying on that instead of Epi? I think not.

If aliens exist why can’t we detect them?

Presumably it’s bc they live several light years away and must be technological advanced enough to make the trip.

But if they are so technologically advanced why do they keep crashing when they get here?

It’s like “dammit Jimmy you forgot to change the spark plugs again agggggggggghhjjhhhhh 🔥🔥🔥👽🛸💥💥💥💥”

@sweatystartup Now if your relationship has trust issues then that’s probably something you gonna want to address with some old fashioned communication.
But it ain’t gonna be fixed by wearing an ankle bracelet and monitor.

[Meno @menofried]

Lol no. Your husband/wife is not a probation officer or your mother that you have to check-in with at any time they demand.
As much as a marriage is a new unit/team. It doesn’t mean you lose your entire individuality to do things by yourself.
People who demand pretty much anything from a spouse usually have a control issue.

Men in general resent constantly being asked where they’re going or where they’ve been.
It’s 100% normal. Many, many men (and some women) feel this way.
For example. Sometimes a guy will run into a friend at a store and speak with him say 30 minutes. Meanwhile his wife keeps calling where is he? Why is he late? He was supposed to be home half hour ago…
To say anytime you don’t share your location automatically means they’re up to no good, no exceptions is insane.

@FischerKing64 By the time 2013-14 rolled around was the actual time they should’ve started raising rates and OP point def stands. Didn’t need to wait till ‘17 or 18 whenever that actually was…

[Meno @menofried]

@FischerKing64 I’m obvs not gonna say finance guys didn’t roll dice on leveraged products. Fail. And get bailed out. (With no consequences)
But there was also actual companies with Americans jobs that were also going to be imploded w/o those rate cuts.
