There’s no guarantee you can draw a circle through the bottom of the four legs of a table (opposite legs can be off in the same direction). Also, most floors are not perfectly flat, therefore you can’t assume the floor is at one elevation.

The insurance is based on the cost to rebuild the home, which has also drastically gone up, so it makes sense that it has risen too

I appreciate your original question and tact through these follow ups. I’m also having trouble finding primary sources in my quick search.

538 also is running a brand new model by a new hire as when they let Nate Silver go, he kept the IP to the model that made them famous. Nate Silver just published yesterday a pretty detail list of reasons why you shouldn’t trust the new model they developed. The original model has Biden at a 28% chance of winning, trending down - the 28% is assuming either polling error or that he does something to change the tide, both of which seem less likely than in the past so the model is probably optimistic.

These are extremely old polling dates, and don’t reflect changes since

Well more from being in the air than just the scanner I believe!

Or if you’re a fan of Brandon Sanderson, all birds are chickens.

Your first comment made it sound like they are hitting you on purpose. This comment makes it sound more like the infrastructure is not conductive to cycling and therefore it’s dangerous to cycle in your area. I grew up in northeast Cincinnati and am an avid cyclist, and the second comment lines up with my experience while the first, that reads as if people are actively trying to hit you, doesn’t line up with my experience. I think that is why you are getting down voted.

The article mentions he called 911 to surrender about an hour or two after it started.

It depends on what you feel about the future of technology. Most productivity growth comes from advances in technology. We haven’t hit a maximum yet, so it’s a question of if you think technology will or won’t enable us to do more in the same amount of time for the indefinite future.

Constant productivity growth could allow it without constant population growth, as long as products growth exceeds impacts from population decline. This report is basically saying they don’t see that happening.

Don’t look up movie spoiler …

!This makes me think of the ending where they get off the ship on another planet just to immediately get eaten!<

It was 50 last night when I took the dog for a walk. I was too lazy to put on socks, so it was in sweats with sandals and bare feet. Was surprisingly easier on the feet than I expected

Just got one too! I tried right at launch time, eventually got locked out for too many purchase attempts while their servers were failing and had to go back to work. On whim, tried again 15 minutes ago and was able to get one shipping in 2~4 weeks. Soooo happy!

Even if the cost was an impossibly low 10% of MSRP, that’s still $30 trillion dollars based on the math above and well more than he has.

I used the first two, but just enjoy the experience of sync better. If sync didn’t exist, I’d be just fine and happy still. But I currently browse Lemmy 30 minutes to an hour each day, so $20 for no ads is something I’ll probably eventually pay for the hundreds of hours I’ll use the app.

Sync and Connect are the two apps I’ve used and both have the capability of doing this. Let me know if you need help finding the settings.
