The Nedelin disaster claimed more lives than NASA did over its entire existence.

So this is the application form:

Mamdani was born in Uganda to a Ugandan father and an Indian (Gujarati) mother. Which box would you tick?

Mamdani opted to tick "Black/African American" as well as "Asian", and at the "Other" box wrote "Ugandan".

I personally fail to see the problem. Given the constraints of these boxes, this seems to be the most accurate way of describing his ethnicity? Am I missing something here? Why is NYT presenting this as an issue at all?

Trump saying he's white despite him being orange seems like a bigger discrepancy.

Centrists lost to Trump, the objectively worst candidate for president.

Sanders received a loud applause from a Fox News town hall. I'm not so sure he'd have lost.

When voters have chosen the option furthest to the right it is stupid to think that running a candidate further left would do anything but lose.

Trying to do right-wing policy "better" than the right-wing candidate has consistently lost elections to far-right candidates. All it does is validate the far-right candidate's positions, and they'll always be considered "stronger" on those positions

People primarily vote for change, and that's exactly what the centrists haven't been able to offer. It's why Biden lost, it's why Harris lost, it's why Clinton lost.

Most non-voters don't hold significantly different beliefs than the voting population. In non-competitive states, it means motivating them to vote is unlikely to tip the scales. Why bother tipping the results from 60% to 55% by spending millions on it? Better to allocate those funds to a 53% to 48% potential flip.

In battleground states they do try to reach these people.

Liechtenstein or Andorra perhaps. Bit too small for "empire". Or Kosovo, given that they haven't been independent for that long.

I was so certain the link would lead to the website of the British Museum.

He did what he was supposed to and delivered the evidence is an objective, neutral manner. It was congress, particularly the GOP, that (intentionally) fumbled the ball after.

It's not a competition. Banning one thing doesn't require all other potentially worse things to also be banned first. Besides, in many places open drunkenness and drunk driving are already banned.

I probably change the brightness setting the most. Why is it all the way at the top of the settings, the furthest out of reach it could be?

Plenty of predictive models showed Clinton having a 60% chance of winning, almost a toss-up. Trump overperformed, but not by much, and his EC win looks significantly larger on paper than it does when comparing state vote counts.

Polls usually are pretty accurate. Election pundits howeverrrr...

The very first date I had was an escape room under a restaurant. We got there early so we opted for drinks beforehand, then did the escape room together.

We're still hapoy together after 5+ years and we recently adopted a cat, so I'd say it worked out alright.
