Well, this article is silly clickbait.
The reality is that Harris currently has 57% odds to win vs. Trump’s 42%. It’s a weighted coin flip, but still a coin flip nonetheless. Trump winning would not be a huge upset or invalidate polling methodology.

Sure if you’re like 90 years old and hate your spouse. I enjoy my wife’s company.
Dude I use Lemmy to not see ads, why are you posting this?
Gattaca was taking a lot of license for the sake of the movie. A lot of diseases are multifactorial and while genes might play a role, they’re not the only factor and often not even the main factor. The movie ignored things like epigenetics, early life exposures, lifestyle, age, sex, and just plain variance that are all factors that can play into chronic diseases.
That being said, allowing parents to make decisions based on genetic testing isn’t itself eugenics. Eugenics is a top-level idea revolving around the idea of improving the quality of human genetics as a whole. And that requires an institutional judgement of what are good quality genes and bad quality genes, which necessitates us saying some people are better quality than others and opens up the door to racism/homophobia/transphobia/ableism/etc. Eugenics is always bad, while personal medical decisions based on genetics can be reasonable.
They’re not leaving, they’re just checking out the wet paint exhibit next door. They’ll be right back as soon as it dries!
Old Fashioned. It’s one with a huge variation in flavor from bar to bar, so it’s always interesting to see how they do it.
It’s because modern conservatives are less concerned about facts.
Republicans claim climate change is a hoax; the reality is that climate change is already causing measurable damage around the planet.
Republicans claim Haitian immigrants are eating dogs and cats; the reality is they aren’t.
Republicans claim Democrats want to abort newborn infants. The reality is this is illegal everywhere.
Republicans claim illegal immigration and crime area crisis. Reality is the numbers are actually trending down.
Republicans claim supply side economics worse. Reality is that supply side economics does not work and Democratic presidents perform better on every economic measure.
Republicans have recently claimed that schools are doing trans surgeries on kids without their parents’ permission and immigrants have a direct phone line to Kamala Harris in exchange for illegal votes. Reality is that those are too stupid to garner a serious response.
So yeah, reality happens to have a liberal bias when conservatives are trying to out-stupid each other.
The 65-year-old shook, pulled against restraints and gasped for breath for several minutes before dying, journalists who witnessed the execution said.
More barbaric torture. The death penalty is an embarrassment and should be outlawed.
Yeah, in 2016 and 2020 polls underestimated Trump voters. Pollsters know he has voters who aren’t reflected in polls, and they’re consciously trying to account for it.
But I’m hopeful that this year it’s the opposite, that polls are underestimating Harris support. Young voters, or even women in conservative families who say they’re voting for Trump, but deep down want Harris to win.
Contained? Sure. Letting them run wild in areas where they’re not native makes them have the same effect as an invasive species.
It’s not ethical to let your cats outside at all.
Vanilla Ubuntu vs. Windows 10? I’ll take Windows.
If it’s like Kubuntu or Xubuntu vs. Windows 11, then I’ll take Ubuntu, but currently my jam is Debian with XFCE.
What nonsense. Debate questions aren’t exactly rocket science.
I predict at the VP debate:
There, just fed both candidates 90% of the debate questions.
But she wouldn’t have?
Before Netflix I wasn’t buying hundreds of DVDs per year. It doesn’t make sense to claim that use of a service, even a free one, constitutes “savings” based on hypothetical behavior where you would have bought all the content individually at list price.
I don’t think he’s as far off as they suggest. I remember the whole world laughing every time he spoke.
Dpkg is the low level tool for Debian packages.
Apt-get is the original frontend for dpkg. It is a full featured tool that lets the user give commands to dpkg, along with apt-cache, which displays information to the user.
Apt is a high level tool for user friendliness. It combines some features from apt-get and apt-cache, as well as adds progress bars and other quality of life features. It also strips down some features the average user doesn’t use.
So neither is a wrapper for the other. They are two similar tools that do the same job. Apt-get is better for scripting due to being a more rigid tool while apt is nicer for end users.
Sure you can!
Get a coin, and flip it 100 times. Record each time it lands on heads/tails.
Now get a devout believer, and have the believer continuously say devout prayers petitioning God to make the coin read heads. Then, flip the coin 100 times, and record heads/tails.
Do statistical analysis to see whether there is a statistically significant difference between the control group and the prayer group. Pretty easy to verify if true.
What do you mean?
Impeachment is just a natural thing that happens to every politician, usually about twice a term. Just ask Trump.
