blech.  This is what they tried to feed the prisoners at Auschwitz. 

When asked why they would choose to starve instead of eating, they said "Chili's southwestern eggrolls?  Jew gotta be fucking kidding me"

This isn't quite an "Okay, that's enough internet for today" post, but we're now within range.

I’d love to see the numbers from Westmoreland, Washington, or Lancaster counties before I get too excited about those numbers. I expect she’ll do fine on the eastern 1/3 of the state. I’m more concerned about the western half. 

I assume they called those counties "Bellweather counties" for a reason, likely they mimic'd the overall state vote in some regards in 2020.

Chili's Chicken Frisco* Salad (at the old Greenville location in Dallas 30 fucking years ago, was my go-to healthy meal. 

30% of my blocked widowmaker was probably Chili's burger.

 

That was probably a 2k calorie salad.

If your model spits out numbers that say it's close to a coin flip that one of these two candidates (more likely Trump) sweeps all seven swing states, you need to stop and go "Now hold on a second, that can't be right...."

Nate Silver wrote a book this year about how much he loves Sam Bankman Fried, hedge fund traders, and poker players. He’s a fucking loser.

Seemed obvious that was going to happen. So long as the polling like that stays around 46 or fewer for Trump in these things it's good overall IMO.

Got to wonder how many are Haley voters who crossed over as well. Haley's performance in the various primaries:

NC: 23%

GA: 13% (withdrawn)

AZ: 18% (withdrawn)

Most Haley voters will "hold their nose" and vote for Trump, but a number will sit it out and another group will cross over. 

Also specific to NC - Robinson is a massive drag on the ballot for the GOP. 

GOP should have an election day edge so keep that in mind. Still, looks like Harris might be building a decent sized firewall in these states if this Marist poll is accurate.

That Marist independent voters in swing states poll is what we're talking about when we say none of the talk of polls favoring Trump makes sense when you really look at it. If Harris is winning early voting independents 54-46 in swing states then it's over, she wins. We are seeing things return back to pre-COVID patterns where Rs are more likely to vote early. With Ds holding even or slightly ahead in early voting numbers in most swing states, if Harris is also easily winning independents then it's over. 

Obviously we can't be sure that poll is the one that's accurate but it just adds to the evidence that the polls don't make sense. That WSJ Trump +2 national poll is just absurd.

She's winning them by even more if you are referring to what I posted - those numbers are for all early voters in those states. 

but your point remains valid. the more surveys of people who have actually voted the clearer the picture will be - one way or another.

I kind of sort of knew that, but I can't remember the last time I saw a hard copy of my completed ballot.

I have only ever voted in the People's Republic of Austin, but the last few elections once you check in they hand you a blank ballot (except for the identifying information at the top) which reminds me of a scantron enlarged for old people. You insert that into the machine and then do your selections on screen. Once you are finished you review your selections and hit print. It then spits out the geriatric scantron with all of your selections printed on it, plain as day for you and god to see. You then take that to a machine where an election official watches you feed it in and then it is counted and stored. I assumed this was standard fare all over Texas, but maybe it's just here. i dunno. But i do like being able to review my selections on paper before final submission.

I understand that those counties were representative of the statewide margin. The eastern half of PA shifted massively blue last election. The western half shifted slightly red other than Pittsburgh and Erie.



Westmoreland, Washington, and Butler county go from Pittsburgh suburbs on one side to hillbilly maga on the other side. I’m very curious to see how those counties swing.

No. 2006 Chicken and Bacon ranch was top tier. It’s back, and better.

Two hikers get lost in a canyon with no food or water.  After a day of rigorous climbing and hiking, with scraped knees, twisted ankles, and raw hands, they find themselves above the rim of the canyon with desert stretching out as far as they can see.  For another day, they hike under the most brutal sun that you can imagine, still with no food or water.  On the third day, they stumble onto an old deserted highway.  They following this highway for hours until off in the distance they see a single building.  They use every last bit of energy they can muster to run towards the building as fast as they can and find it to be a Subway sandwich shop.  As they stand there in front of the building, gasping for air, tears streaming from the dust-caked corners of their red, raw eyes, one of the hikers turns to the other and struggles to speak with his parched throat and swollen tongue...

Okay fuckers, let's get some shit straight.

1) If you order the chicken crispers, you get them with a side of cream gravy like a man, not honey mustard like a kid.

2) Chili's chips and salsa have no relation to actual mexican chips and salsa.  Also, they are fucking delicious and I love them.

3) The SW egg rolls are fine.  Not the greatest, just...fine.

5) Chili's burgers are and always have been solid.  

6) Applebees does not belong in the same conversation.  Applebees is where you go eat with your 300 lb wife and your 3 snotnose kids, drinking cheap domestic beer and hoping that it numbs the reality of what your life has become.

 

Now, having settled that, let's talk about Hall and Oates.
