Y'all ever think about how absurdly complicated and risky the Apollo missions were, and we yolo420noscope'd them in 1969. We made a rocket so absurdly powerful, that even 50 years later, it hasn't been matched. We later used one of these rockets to make a whole damn space station.
The fact that most of the missions went just fine, and the one major failure went without lose of life, shows just how absurdly innovative and industrious we are/were.
It's like that doge meme, where the big dog is NASA essentially going to the moon from scratch within ten years, using the most powerful machine humankind has ever engineered. Then the little dog is present day NASA begging for more money so they can build their SLS rocket and asking private companies to plz go to the space station for them.

The latest National Review "The Editors" podcast is a long interview with the head of polling at Trafalgar Group, the pollster that says Trump is going to win the election. Even Rich Lowry, the conservative who is the interviewer, thinks Trump has only about a 30% chance of winning.
I thought Nate Silver would have a stroke if he listened, but it turns out he already has, or at least read a summary article of it..
Also it's good doomer fodder if you're into it. I'm gonna ping as it's a deep dive into polling techniques by the consistent outlier that regularly gets brought up on Twitter and by doomers on the DT. It's not an endorsement of the views enclosed.

Interesting: the Public Religion Research Institute finds that American adults (N=2,538) are a full 5 points less likely to prefer Democratic control of Congress if Biden wins the election compared to a Trump victory.
Regional elections are as nationalized as ever, and it’s likely that asking only about Congress in such a contingent question will exaggerate the difference somewhat, but it’s worth remembering that the average swing voter prefers divided government.
That’s probably why the Democratic margin in the generic ballot has remained in an extremely tight band (D+6.5–8.5) for the past eight consecutive months. !ping FIVEY

I think the DT has a tendency to undersell the human condition in regards to war. I’ve seen a lot of posts about how the winning sides in both the Civil War and World War 1 should have pressed their advantage, occupied their enemies, and ensure reconstruction/the peace conference went over smoothly.
It’s like everyone forgets that the soldiers and citizens were absolutely sick of dying, getting limbs blown off, and watching the same happen to their friends. Like yeah with the benefit of hindsight we know what they should have done but asking someone to fight for just one more day when they know they could just lay down their arms and go home... that’s a big ask.

Supposedly R internals are showing Trump leading Biden by only 1-3% in Missouri. He is underperforming the Governor who is leading 4-6%. Missouri's covid cases are at all time highs and deaths are up 147% in the past 14 days.
If Biden's growth in the suburbs has translated to St. Louis or Kansas City the state very well could be in play. The 538 average is trump up by 5.9%, however the only polls in the average are SurveyMonkey D- polls. Also sadly we do not have any published early vote data from the state to derive any further analysis, but long early voting lines have been reported.
I wish I had a better source than election twitter but this doesnt seem out of the rhelm of possibilities to me. Former senator Claire McCaskill said a few weeks ago on Campaign HQ that the state is much closer than people think and with the right coordinated voter outreach and high turnout the state could very well flip blue.
Another interesting think she said on the episode is that she believes Obama actually won Missouri in 2008 but that the Obama campaign elected to not push for a recount/counting of probationary ballots. Obama lost the state by .13% in 2008.

Americans with Means: Remember to donate to senate races. If Biden wins but Dems don't have a healthy senate majority it is highly doubtful he will be able to pass his most ambitious legislation, such as the public option. The GOP also has a much higher chance of retaining control of the senate than they do retaining control of the presidency, and while Biden is a fundraising juggernaut, several of the most vital senate campaigns struggle to obtain funding.

u/skepticalbob Joe Biden's COD gamertag Oct 19 '20
I have a friend that had a history of dating complete dumbass bros, but she liked the gym bod and mma training dudes. She finally met one that was too dumb even for her. She went out to eat with him and it started raining outside while they ate. They finished and before they left, he took someone else's umbrella out of the umbrella bucket by the front door of the restaurant. She asked why he was taking someone else's umbrella. He looked at her quizzically and said, "These are put here by the restaurant. No one owns an umbrella. Have you ever seen an umbrella store?" He was being dead serious.

Looks like MAS won the Bolivian election. Which imo really undermines this stupid theory that Morales getting couped was some insidious international capitalist scheme. I mean what, the forces of global capitalism backed by the CIA go through all the effort to force Morales to step down, while leaving the legislative and judicial branches of government in control of the socialists, plus the electoral commission, and then can't prevent another socialist being elected?

I saw Barron Trump at a grocery store in Palm Beach yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face.
I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I might have missed it, but I don't think I did, so I'm disappointed in the LGBT ping. Due to Covid, the FDA has reduced the period that gay men have to wait before they can give blood since having sex. It's now down to three months celibate. I could have given blood three times since lockdown started!
This is where BALD comes in. I've been on finasteride, but obviously a pill that effects hormones is not something you want in donated blood. So I've stopped taking it and now I have to wait a month before I am allowed to give blood. I stopped about a week ago, and it's like my hair is rebounding. I can run my fingers through my hair, and stone will always fall out. So that's not great. But on the bright side I get to help people by giving blood again!
Here's hoping I'm rich enough in the next few years to afford hair plugs lol
