It’s a sobering detail of our situation. In 2020, Trump really did receive more votes than any candidate in any previous election. That means a ton of people showed up to vote for him in 2020 that hadn’t in 2016.

He frames it weird (and it sounded weird when he said it) because otherwise it raises the obvious point that Biden also achieved that same record, plus an extra 7 million votes.

The same can be said for Ohio. Both of them used to be swing states, and potentially could be again, but are not currently.

You’re getting down voted because this entire thing is literally about the book he published.

Often there are contracts. Sometimes for a very long time, often multi-year. There are sometimes escape clauses (like a morality clause for a spokesperson), but these aren’t easy to invoke.

I suspect many of them are up for annual review/renewal, when they can be terminated without penalty. It might also just be an attempt to get better terms.

This is disinformation. Nate silver has directly called out the use of that screenshot.

Uber’s insurance is pretty bad. Many get the additional coverage from their regular insurer anyway because of this. That coverage also (usually) applies to this situation as well.

Strictly speaking, few if any of them retain their own rights to the music. Most are owned by the label. Look on any CD, official video, etc. You’ll see Copyright Sony Music, or Universal, etc.

It also means they probably can’t take legal action against Trump’s use of it.

It’s like those people who bought plane tickets to January 6th, thinking they would go there and violently overthrow the transfer of power and kill any congresspeople that stood in the way of it, and then they could go home and show up to work with Trump now in power and everything would go back to normal.

Do you remember when armed militants invaded the Malheur wildlife refuge in Oregon, setting up what was sure to be a long, violent standoff with police and military?

2 weeks in, they arrested one of them. He’d taken a stolen ranger truck to get supplies at Safeway.

You can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into

He (and the rest of 538, where he was at the time) were criticized at the time for giving Trump much better odds than most. They were still wrong, but less so than the rest.

“handle” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. The signs are already there that all of these edge cases will just be programmed as “safely pull over and stop until conditions change or a human takes control”. Which isn’t a small task in itself, but it’s a lot easier than figuring out to continue (e.g.) on ice.

The only reason I could believe it, is that it’s happened before. See: Reagan and the Iran hostages.

Still, I’m going to need a better source. This seems uncharacteristically competent.

Even at stores that have this feature, I rarely see people use it. It’s clearly not an experience that people flock to.

OTOH, on the rare occasion I’ve visited a Walmart in the past 10 years, I have a 100% rate of checkout taking an absurdly long time. Everyone there just seems to accept it like they have no choice.

As long as it’s advertised openly, I don’t see a big problem with it. It would probably be sold as a discount for shopping at slower times, though. It’s a tried-and-true method of smoothing congestion.

Assuming a store with 9a-9p hours (every day), a 9-5 worker can shop 44 hours in a week, vs 40 they cannot. But that doesn’t particularly line up with the busy hours. Around here, after 7 on weekdays and 5 on weekends tend to get pretty slow.

There are many reasons to vote for one party over another. Money/taxes is one of them. Another is women’s rights, which is a pretty big thing both for her and her fan base.

But your main point is valid. By remaining silent, her fans (and others) can project their own beliefs on her.

Just because the PSU works on another system (or God forbid, those awful “testers”) doesn’t mean that it’s fine. PSUs tend to fail in weird, unpredictable ways

Check your screw standoffs/spacers. Make sure that they match your motherboard exactly.

Most cases come with them preinstalled for a micro ATX board. Certain motherboards- like this one, it appears based on a stock photo- need one of those removed before installing the extras.

Will this help users on Bing with their number 1 desired search destination, Google?

Or their 7th most common destination, Bing?

Not necessarily. They could split the video in advance, assuming the ads will always be at the same point. Even if not, they could still use the direct, unaltered source with a range. The big challenge would be keeping it all synced, which I think is safe to say that they will get right.

But even if it did need to be transcoded, YouTube automatically transcodes every single video uploaded, multiple times. They are clearly not afraid of it.

I said nothing of the sort, and have no idea where you got that idea. All I said was that marketing claims are separate from the contract.

However, this thread is clearly not interested in any actual exchange of ideas or information, so I will no longer be taking part. Go ahead and downvote.
