  • 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

  • Kamala Harris predicted to win by nearly every major forecaster

  • Yes, that is what we want.

  • Kamala Harris suddenly becomes favorite to win in top election forecast

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Nowhere in the article does it say anything to suggest who he was voting for. In a population of 300 million there are gonna be some number of crazies in every demographic

    EDIT

    y'all are loopy. I'm 100% team Harris, i even phonebanked for her - did you? All i said is that there's nothing in the article about whether he's a trumper or not, and there are some number of insane non-trumpers out there. If you think literally all people who aren't voting for trump are sane, then you're the one who's insane. It doesn't matter whether this particular person turns out to be trumper or not, the point is we shouldn't jump to conclusions or else we'll eventually wind up with egg on our face

    Jump

  • You're not thinking about replicator/transporter technology as broadly as it's capable of. There could be hundreds of versions of each individual dish. In fact there could be variation algorithms that make it seem like a unique preparation every single time. And people could simply ask for how they want it prepared, like "roasted peppers, spicy" in the same way they ask for "earl gray, hot".

    Even further, transporter technology is the most over powered technology in the whole start trek universe. It's a thread you can't start pulling at otherwise the whole fictional universe falls apart.

    For example you could kill anyone anywhere without a trace just by transporting a dose of cyanide into their blood. There would be no hallways wasting valuable space inside the ship, people would simply be transported to wherever they wanted to go (aside from a network of small tunnels for emergencies if the transporter is down). And there would be no need for more than a single docking bay at most, just make the entire hull a single sealed surface and transport the entire shuttle and it's contents inside. Possibly most universe-breaking is that you'd be able to replicate anything, even equipment. Instead of just one enterprise you could replicate it and have a thousand enterprises, or a million enterprises!

    I would guess that the writers have imposed some weird limitations on the tech that would prevent these types of scenarios, but i can't imagine any that could validly apply to what we've seen transporters do in all the various episodes.

  • There's no technological reason why there couldn't be hundreds of versions of each exact dish. In fact they could've even had a simple variation program so that every time it's made it comes out a bit different

  • Whether or not this poll is real doesn't matter. The reality is that this election is literally a 50-50 coin toss right now, so you have to do everything you can to help Harris win!!! Volunteer to make calls, speak to your friends and family and make sure they have a specific plan to go vote, offer car rides or baby sitting to help people actually get to the voting booth, - whatever you can think of doing!!!

  • He died of AIDS complications, which isn't a nice way to go but it's not notably worse than many of the other typical ways people die.

    EDIT

    A couple of people seem to be misreading what i wrote. I specifically said AIDS is a bad way to go, but so are zillions of other common ways such as Alzheimer's.
