British culture is our attachment to the NHS. EDIT: 1991 is when the Soviet Union dissolved and galaxy brains decided this meant politics was solved forever. Edison was a dick fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Nov 7, 2019 |

Polling is poo poo and all the trackers make no allowance for horribly biased/clearly insane ones. As laughable as the 538 style stuff is, at least they try to weight polls in their trackers by soundness of methodology and political bias. Nobody is bothered to try that hard this side of the pond.

As laughable as the 538 style stuff is, at least they try to weight polls in their trackers by soundness of methodology and political bias. Nobody is bothered to try that hard this side of the pond. I just don't think any polling can cope in the current climate because the political climate has changed so completely since 2015. However one thing does stick in my mind from the fiasco of the last polls, which was someone saying traditionally if polls underestimate the vote for a party in one election they'll tend to overestimate it in the next because the pollsters change their models to try and make the last result fit their polls. This is (genuinely) bad for Jeremy Corbyn, if true.

goddamnedtwisto posted:A few reasons - until very recently DC motors were much more easily throttle-able than AC, an important consideration for short-distance systems. Also if you're stringing up naked cables all over the place in close proximity to humans you want low(er) voltage for safety, so the advantages of AC evaporate. Pus I *think* (but I'm not entirely sure) that regenerative braking on AC systems is, if not impossible, extremely tricky, so you're wasting an awful lot of energy in a system with frequent stops. The nice thing is that an induction motor with a VFD is trivial to do regen braking on, whereas shunt wound DC motors are pretty hard to do regen on. You can make them brake easily, but making them brake and produce a voltage higher than the line so it can feed back in is the hard bit, so they tended to go with just dumping the motor output into a massive resistor (rheostatic braking), which along with brushes and a bad torque curve makes them suck a bit. DC lines and trains with AC motors with VFDs would be the best option I guess, which I think the London underground has been moving to since the mid 90s when big thyristors started coming on the market.

The Corbyn Stalin thing is playing out exactly how the tories want. They've got a regular brigade of people justifying it for the extremely online tories, but for everyone else they're just gonna see 'Tory MP called Corbyn Stalin' on the news with no further explanation and go 'yeah he is isnt he!!'

It just looks like you can be the most stereotypical Jew in the world and spend 99% of your time interacting and participating in Jewish circles but mention that you're not in favour of the Occupation of Palestine and have people tell you "Ah, but you're not really one of us, are you?" Then you get white protestant dickheads who will believe all the most stereotypical poo poo but they'll believe in the right of Israel to carpet bomb with white phosphorous and there will be people saying "Finally, a Jewish representative." It seems utterly deflating.
