Thalantos posted:My decision about whether to get a gun tips a little closer to the "yes" side..... Handgun, Rifle, Shotgun. All can be bought together in sufficient quality with ammo for $1000 at a local murder store. But also $1000 will buy you a lot of cheep Chinese drones and a DIY spirit. Which is a better choice if you don't want to risk owning firearms with sad-brains.

Oct posted:I'm selling my home in Colorado, which I've had for about five years so this housing market poo poo has been really interesting. Homes in my area north of Denver have been in notoriously high demand, particularly starting around 2014, and values have appreciated really quickly. But then the local market here hit the brakes in August, and it's really spiraled after the interest rates went up. All of the homes on the market in my neighborhood are way overpriced for what they are, which I think indicates that some of this is based on unrealistic greed on the part of most sellers. Well the 10+% interest rates on home mortgages were a big red flag to being with. Interest on credit is intrinsically tied to risk. The 80's and 90's were a weird case where there was suddenly very little risk, but creditors needed to keep up their profit numbers. So in creeps up overselling homes at higher interest rates. Then selling homes at even higher interest rates to people who could barely afford them. Now you're making risky loans so you've gotta raise rates to keep the actuaries happy. Paying 4-5% interest on stable assets like houses is reasonable, paying 14% in the late/post-cold war is a nice  And then a whole lot of things happened as rates came down and they kept trying to sell big loans to people who still couldn't afford them even at normal interest rates. A proper correction would drop home prices into the 20% of annual post-tax income range for most Americans.

Remember how us and CSPAM were constantly joking about the GOP having someone falsely come forward as an accuser only to delegitimatize the real accusers? Maybe that happened. Maybe that didn't. But Trump isn't talking about any of the three people who's names were in the news with credible allegations.

Putting elections in terms of probabilities isn't really good in the long term anyway. There is no chance involved in elections, its entirely decision based. Yeah you can use statistical methods on the data but it gives you a false sense of how the results are derived. Ignore polls, canvas harder.

NYT did a live tracker where they listed who they were calling (demographically speaking) and their success rate last week. They called 24k numbers and got 324 responses from 18-34s. Social media aggregation would be about 95% accurate if you had access to everybody's facebook.

So theres a good chance Connecticut is going the way of Massachusetts and electing a Republican Governor over a very liberal state. The night is early and our election infrasturcuture is terrible but with 40% reporting the Republicans have a 4% lead. Dan Malloy was in fact one of the worst succdems ever but its still indicative of how terrible a campaign his democratic replacement ran. Also the independent candidate taking 4% of the vote.

Then when it's locked in place after 2020 extend the "olive branch" of "Yeah that sure sucks doesn't it mother fuckers? Tell you what, let's all pass laws so that next time around when we do the 2030 census we all have independent councils for redistricting, and we can bring civility back to this process we just dicked you over with OK?" No, they want it how it is so that they can use the system to gently caress over democrats. Thats always the answer.

So this morning CT called the governorship for Lamont (Good) by 0.5%. Thats a huge relief, and that 0.5% is only 17,000 votes. Late last night it looked like Governor and Attorny general would go to republicans by about 3 points and overnight the final count put both ahead. In other happy news A democrat 20yr ex-navy nuke commander won in VA

In a just world I wouldn't consider bodies of water to be interruptions. If some good algorithm grouped both sides of a river, or hell, even something as separated as Hampton Roads + Virginia Beach, fine. As long as the map is done mathematically and comes out seeming reasonably fairly divided. My favorite is where you put nodes at the local population maxima and use a graph algorithm that flows down roads weighting major roads and locally known regions to clump equivalent numbers of voters. But I'm sure someone who actually knows this poo poo will tell me why thats a terrible algorithm and there are better ones that I haven't heard of.
