  • Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups

  • Most of us don’t ever make enough money to travel this country’s hard-to-imagine-how-big-it-actually-is vastness, or even enough to leave our hometowns for longer than a couple days before financial woes start nipping at the mind, if not worse.

    This is completely contradicted by the data:

    "The average American has visited 16 states besides the one where they currently live, a new YouGov survey finds. Older Americans are likelier to have visited more states than younger Americans. 32% of Americans 65 or older say they've visited at least 30 states [. . .]" link

  • I'd totally get that for polling people outside of North America. It's just shocking to see it from people who have probably been to NYC or at least another major metro area -- which would instantly falsify a 30% number for NYC.

  • WTH, Americans think that 30% of the country lives in NYC?

  • If they’d run Sanders, they’ve had ended up with a Democratic supermajority.

    Least delusional Sanders revisionist take.

  • I guess I'm going to have to tell all the people at my company and my friends' workplaces that they can't be gainfully employed while they use weed as their primary or (increasingly often) only intoxicant.

  • Infinity War

    Jump

  • Yeah, for sure. The events of 10/7 were disgusting and can in no way be justified. The manner in which Israel has prosecuted its war in Gaza is different, but also criminal and unforgivable. Israel's attacks on the sovereign states of Lebanon, Syria, and Iran since then have been unprovoked and cannot be explained except as having been architected with the goal of destabilizing the region and furthering Tel Aviv's goal of colonizing the entire region.

  • Wild take when Israel has been the unprovoked aggressor in the last few conflicts.

  • decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware

    This can be true for some, but for a lot of labbers the increased energy cost of enterprise hardware will exceed the cost difference of the NUC over the expected life of the equipment. That doesn't mean it's an obvious choice to go the other way; it's just something you should consider.

  • I mean, yeah. Russia has been a Chinese vassal state since Covid.

  • H.R.3040 - To prohibit the use of ranked choice voting in elections for Federal office.

    Jump

  • There's anywhere from 100-400MM USD distributed for election security and infrastructure provided by the federal government to states on a yearly basis. The path forward would likely to be barring distribution of such funds for any state which holds RCV elections.

  • Sure, but it’s an additional 70 miles. Not something that would go unnoticed.

  • Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.

  • What data do you need to leave your bubble? Issue polling, favorability polling, revealed preference, actual vote share? Americans, by a wide margin, want. Less legal immigration and stricter enforcement of immigration law — including detention and deportation.

    It’s the unfortunate reality.
