It's becoming more obvious by the day that the Democrats are throwing this election.

Penrodster replies on Sep 7, 2020:

Yes, they've given up or are outright throwing the election. BUT I believe they will fight tooth and nail and dozens of people will die in violence when democrats contest the election. There must be a goal but I cannot fathom what it is.

Are you concerned that there will be a coup if Trump wins?

WillBeFree53 comments on Sep 7, 2020:

I hope Trump wins and convincingly enough that no-one dares mount a coup. If they did they might find the support they counted on is not there because, as has been shown so often, noisy minorities think they have more influence than they ultimately do.

Penrodster replies on Sep 7, 2020:

I was excited for the 2018 midterm elections, it gave me a chance to make predictions based on poll bias and see how well I do and where I could improve. EVERY marginally close race was contested with recounts and EVERY time more votes were found for the democrat. I think I was most upset that it ruined an analysis that I had spent a months on. Will violence stop if Trump has a landslide on Nov 3rd but forced into recounts for the next month?

Many are asking why Trump doesn't do more to quell the chaos.

Penrodster comments on Sep 6, 2020:

I didn't vote for Trump because I thought he'd be authoritarian, he proved me wrong. Please don't let this turn around on me after I vote for him.

Penrodster replies on Sep 6, 2020:

@johnlondon Trump has surprised me with pulling peace out of conflict with radical, out of the box thinking. I'm hopeful but I'm afraid you're right. So far Trump's been letting the mayors and governors own the protests and arsonists so everyone gets to see the two sides for who they are. I would not bet a nickel on next moves, I have no idea.

@CharliePrime ANY long term segregation has resulted in degredation of the culture, Edo period Japan and Jim Crow laws are my personal examples I draw from. Wanting to live alone is in peace is obviously easier but culture bubbles stop the culture from progressing. Obviously white people in 1955 want an all white neighborhood but it causes them to culturally stagnate and die, atleast metaphorically.

Is it fair to call AOC a "Fucking Bitch"?

GaryWitt comments on Jul 24, 2020:

In this case I believe “fucking” is used as an intensifier. It does not necessarily refer to her level, degree, or frequency of sexual activity.

@scotirishviet Fucking is NOT a superfluous modifier. I could not communicate ideas properly at work without it.

That last data point is seriously discontiguous. If I see that I recheck the setup, rerun the data point and try again on a different set of equipment. Don't get me wrong, I can easily see satisfaction dropping but this data looks hokey and needs some reviewing before publishing to the world.

@WilyRickWiles Yep, totally possible. I will double check test parameters and retest if I see an outlier like that, an outlier so totally different than every other data point. Yes, it is possible it's real. I would absolutely NOT assume it was real. I've seen too many other people bitten in the ass by data just like that.
