Re: US Election
The partisan split here is large, as well . In Iowa, 44% of registered Democrats have voted, against 24% of registered Republicans.EACLucifer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 2:39 pmMore than a third of the vote is in, now, so be aware of weirdness about how models handle early voting.El Pollo Diablo wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 2:38 pmHas something happened in Iowa?

But party registration is not party ID, and certainly not an actual vote.

I have a small side bet that the still is taken from a 2-second video sequence where he actually does tuck his shirt in, or otherwise adjust himself in some slightly weird old-man-with-prostate-cancer (which he is) way. Of course, if he writhes around or appears to be enjoying himself then I would be more than delighted to lose this bet.EACLucifer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 2:38 pmI think we need to be cautious about inferring too much from a single still released by a very unethical man trying to drum up publicity, to be fair.

Re: US Election
Doesn't this information provide a strong incentive for there to be a series of fires at wherever the ballot boxes are stored each evening?

Re: US Election
Yes, and there's been one already. The strong security around such boxes is a major disincentive though.sTeamTraen wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 3:00 pmDoesn't this information provide a strong incentive for there to be a series of fires at wherever the ballot boxes are stored each evening?
These are usually at the city/town hall type locations, with cameras. And in my town, the police HQ is in the same building.
Re: US Election
Thank you for voting Yes to question 1.
It's only because Americans voted themselves the legal right to see stuff like car service manuals that they get put up on the internet for the rest of us. I've got the diagrams for the US (and Japanese, but it's in Japanese) versions of my own car. The UK/Euro model has some differences but in over 20 years looking I've never had a sniff of the diagrams for those.

Re: US Election
You do realise that's basically communism right there.
Vote No on Question 1 if you don't want to be sent to a Siberian salt mine.
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Re: US Election
Not sure if this is the best place, but it invovles Trump, so whatevs.
Trumps twitter password is/was maga2020 and he doesn't understand basic security, despite the same person guessing his password 4 years before. Also, despite having some of the best internet security people working for him, I'm assuming that this means he's too lazy to do what they tell him. I am also disappointed that the hacker didn't do something embarrassing, but understand why he didn't.
Dutch clicky, but translate seems to do a good enough job

Can you imagine how much trouble you’d be in? If you were not bothered about such things then it’d be a good laugh. I’d have been tempted to change the associated email and password and lock the f.cker out, but i bet Twitter would have put a stop to that quite quickly.monkey wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 5:28 pmNot sure if this is the best place, but it invovles Trump, so whatevs.

Bit of an exaggeration there, EPD. I think the truth is probably somewhere between your "they're all the same" position and LW's jokey hagiography (which is what I was responding to).

Because if USAians stop thinking they're exceptional the flag industry would collapse, and that must account for a significant chunk of GDP, given the number of flags I see.Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 7:15 pmWell nobody else gets to think everything's ok really, so why should they?discovolante wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 6:22 pmHush now, America needs its father figures otherwise how will they believe everything's OK really?Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 2:22 pmI liked it when he became the first Nobel Prize winner to drone strike another Nobel Prize winner (Doctors Without Borders).

Re: US Election
Get burner phone and SIM with modest amount of data, put face mask on, take train to next large city, put hoody up, take bus to the edge of town, walk into the woods and find a spot where there's still 4G coverage, fire up VPN, set location to Washington DC, fire up Twitter, log in as Trump. announce resignation, confess to pee tape and everything else, remove SIM card, drop phone in river, walk back to bus stop, drop SIM card in drain, get bus back to station, get on train back home, fire up regular phone, observe mayhem, try not to look too pleased with yourself.Grumble wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 5:54 pmCan you imagine how much trouble you’d be in?

A couple of buses with a walk down some residential streets in-between, and a reversible hoodie, probably. Buses have cctv.
Of course, masks are less suspicious now. And reversible for a color change.

Re: US Election
But then yours seemed a bit of an over-reaction to people essentially sighing and reminiscing about the time when the US President could string two sentences together and seemed to want the best for people. (LW's wasn't a jokey hagiography, it was ironic criticism). Nonetheless, people should be able to contrast Obama to Trump with fondness, without some dreary arse leaping down their necks because Obama did some not good stuff. It's no different from all the tw.ts on the far left of labour.Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 7:14 pmBit of an exaggeration there, EPD.
