You and me both brother.  My cousin's husband is an SBC preacher way out in West Texas.  I've been trying to convert him for years.  Whenever I bring up any of the many varied and problematic outright contradictions of tfg, his pat response is "God works in mysterious ways, still voting for tfg." On occasion I'll get "He may yet be redeemed."  It's very difficult to argue with "God" and come out on top.  So maybe my conversation rate is closer to 2/4.  Still, it hasn't been for lack of trying. 

Pastor Loran Livingston will handle him. It's a few months old but never fails. I posted this again yesterday, silence from my suddenly holy crowd. People I have known for decades who scarcely see the inside of a church except for funerals. "Praying for Trump".

Its quite simple, morons. 

The graph is about exoplanets (it includes our solar system planets for reference). The x axis is mass, measured as a multiple of earth mass. For example, the number two on the x axis represents 2 times the earth's mass. 

The y axis is radius, also as a multiple of earth's radius. 

each triangle or circle represents an exoplanet with a known radius and mass. The little cross things are error bars. Our solar system planets don't have error bars because we know their radii and masses with high levels of precision. 

The bars sticking out from the left are the number of planets discovered in each "bin", or with that narrow range of radius. They aren't all represented as data points presumably because we don't know their masses. 

RV (circles) and TTV (triangles) are two different ways of determining an exoplanets mass. So each known exoplanet is shown as a circle or triangle depending on how its mass was determined. 

The faint, gray dashed lines show the density of the planets. 

I think the colored lines show the makeup of some aspect of the planet (core maybe?) although I don't understand how a planet can be 100% H2O. 

The colored scale shows either the flux of the planet's magnetic field, again measured as a multiple of Earth's magnetic field, or the temperature measured using the Kelvin scale (of the core I presume) of the planet. The color of the dot or triangle tells you the flux, the color of the lines tell you temperature. 

I'm not sure what topographic looking circles are, presumably some measure of something about the planets. The closer to the centers of those circles, the higher some value is. Each line represents a discrete change up or down from that value. 

Finally, the curves along the x axis show approximately the frequency that planets with a certain radius fall into that mass range. For example, under the blue curve, you can see that most planets with a radius of 2-3 times Earth's radius have about 9 times the Earth's mass.

Which Austin location was selected?

1.  Drove by the main polling place in the Woodlands during lunch.   There were a half dozen people waiving large Harris/Walz flags at the entrances and another 3-4 at the Democrat tent.  Nary a Republican to be seen.

20 minute wait here in Tulsa to vote in person.  Oklahoma has early voting really clamped down.  Only four days and only two sites.  Two hour wait times were common.

Biggest turnout the precinct workers have ever seen, they ran out of "I voted" stickers at 10:30am.  He said there was already a line to vote when they opened at 7am.

Several olds, but a lot of younger voters, more than I've ever seen, and some smoking hot, blue-wearing women.  Mrs. TeeDubya was with me, so I wasn't going ask if they needed their ballot box stuffed.

Same story here in NW OKC. Only one early voting site in all of Canadian Co., so the wife and I put it off until today. Took about an hour. Shockingly civil and without any sort of MAGA performative dipshittery.

Kinda gave me a little hope, but that can be ripped away pretty easily enough around here.

you should tell him this reminds you of the God sending the drowning guy two boats joke.    Sometimes God wants a little less faith and a little more common sense that the creator gave you.

their echo chamber is still confident in a trump blowout. betting markets are pretty even, maybe have ticked up a bit for trump (they all lean right).

no good reason, and the market will be closed by the time the bad news hits. get your put orders in now.

I used to work close to a Pancho's on Burnet Road in Austin.  They had a to-go counter up front.  "Beef" tacos were 4 for $1.  I used to get 8 of them at lunch.  It was always a crap shoot (pun intended) as to how often I would have to hit the shitter in the next 3-4 hours.

Here's all the proof you need that Harris is a vessel of hope and positivity.

She made Hillary and Bill touch each other and smile for the first time since 1998!

Of course she's going to be reasonably close to correct. She's the only one of these people actually controlling for bias in her sampling and aggregation. 

All the other shit that's been thrown out there is nonsense. 

Don't worry about much today, the only way this doesn't go to Harris is if the republicans figured out a way to corrupt the actual voting numbers in these swing states. But I think they would have to do it in at least 3 or 4. They're evil enough to try but not smart enough to get it done without being caught. 

Remember, any republican with brains bailed on this shit show after the insurrection. That's why there's no one left in that campaign with any intelligence or discipline, and trump spent the last 2 weeks calling Puerto Ricans garbage, dressing up in garbage man cosplay, and acting like his microphone was Putin's shrimpy dick.
