This confused me greatly, for a time. Just think of it as the party of no ideas and the party of bad ideas.

How are people giving money to Star Citizen?? I stopped paying attention to what was happening three or four years ago, what are the new developments?

I assume the same rationale as games workshop, whales with too much money working from home need something to spend it on during lockdown.

Could it be a sort of map-histogram? And the numbers are the floor values of each bin? Then, the blue states would have 0-49.64 cases, etc. Would make some amount of sense apart from the awful lack of rounding. But then exactly how many cases per 100k would Rhode Island have?

I think your logic is right where a state is colored based on it's closest lower bound. Based off a quick google, Rhode Island had 8,183 new cases from November 29th through Dec 6th. With a population of 1.059 million (2019) that would come to about 772 new cases per 100,000 people (I think, I'm terrible at math) which is in fact more than 297.83. I have no idea what criteria they used to come up with those ridiculously specific numbers though.

Most likely, it's the exact value for the lowest-valued state they put into that bin. So, it's the percentile boundary spat out by Excel, and they couldn't be arsed to round it (or even better, to bin them by even 100s instead of arbitrary-looking percentiles). Edit: No wait if RI is the only state in dark red, then that couldn't be it, either. This is baffling. Hippie Hedgehog has a new favorite as of 12:58 on Dec 9, 2020 |

the numbers/buckets are at exactly 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 * 49.64 so they might as well just have used intervals of 50 no 3 * 49.64 for some reason

It's more like tacking on pickup and deliver missions to the flightsim easter egg in an ancient version of excel, and you can only use the spreadsheet part to calculate how much money you can spare for the cause this month.

Here's an interesting story on him. Sounds like he got his brain broken by being shat on by nerds. He has a pretty obvious reason to make wild accusations of electoral fraud, since he was running in Massachusetts, and got blown out by his Democratic opponent. Because it's loving Massachusetts.

I don't know why that second one says the tooth fairy is gives equal value to all children. Finding out that you only get a dollar but your friend gets five dollars is how six-year-olds realize two very important lessons: 1) the tooth fairy isn't real, therefore adults constantly lie, and 2) life isn't fair, especially when it comes to money. They might not learn what the word "capitalism" is for another decade, but it is that day when they discuss the tooth fairy with their school friends that they first learn its meaning.

Authoritarian Communist governments also tend to be pretty inequitable, maybe your parents are subversive anti-communists and your friend's parents are Party Members in good standing.

It does not have those things, but the soundscape of the ships feels sublime. The ships feel like you have an actual engine working somewhere, it's great. The only thing I actually enjoy about the game is moving the throttle on my HOTAS and feeling the response. Listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKGR2FLUqJw&t=2219s
