IMO the bestest thing we could do, would be to make each Congressional District its own little Electoral College Election... and then whoever wins the State gets the two Senatorial Electoral Votes.
Makes it a truly National Election... and would be closer to what the Founders intended.

With I40 and I26 fubared, mid-south transport will be a logistical nightmare for a time. The roads used to bypass those closings are two-lane state/US routes and run through every little town in the sticks. Most of them run along creeks and rivers also.
Drivers may divert hundreds of miles around the area just to keep moving.

Of course there are a dozen other unrelated possible explanations, but wondering if the IAF targeting naval missile stocks/sites today, I think their first strikes following the HQ festivities, implies a possible Israeli naval component in the days/weeks ahead? Coastal southern Beirut would be a logical location to put surface craft coming from the south at risk.
Significant out-migration apparently happening in Dahiya, after the Israeli warnings to scoot! from that area were given some force by ..... exploding buildings.

Based on the 2016 results (it's surprisingly hard to find out how many districts each candidate won), Trump won 230 districts and 30 states, so 290 EVs, as compared to the 306 he actually won.
Of course, that's just one election. Can't really make an accurate estimate for 2020, for obvious reasons.

Israel normally makes war decisions by committee.
Nasrallah figured that if the war cabinet didn't meet he was safe - it didn't occur to him that the decision had already been made, and that Bibi travelled to New York to preserve the impression of normality.

Also, since the obvious response to Nasrallah being killed would be an all-out attack on Tel Aviv, he figured Bibi would want to be there to respond.
The most striking thing is that Hezbollah's leadership has been wiped out - no announcements, no public instructions to Hezb areas under attack, only minor attacks on Israel - there is no one to give orders.

That's what I mean. How could he possibly be so dumb? Did he think the Israelis woke up on the 17th, had a meeting at dawn, and said "that's it. Get those pagers into everyone's hands and blow them up by brunch?"
These operations tend to be planned some time in advance, with primary, alternate, contingency and emergency fail overs.
Jews aren't Arabs. They do things before breakfast rolls around on the day of the attack.

1. The Ukrainian fortress city of Vuhledar has been surrounded, and the Russians are trying to get the defenders to surrender. Vuhledar is most notable for being the site of multiple failed Russian attacks in the winter of 22-23. At the time, this was taken as evidence of the Russians being incompetent. Perhaps they were, but it was a grim preview of how bloody difficult attacking well-prepared defences would be for the rest of the war.
2. Seven hypersonic missiles were used during two attacks on an airfield in western Ukraine, destroying "up to" eight F-16 fighters. They probably didn't get eight, but the Russians thought it was worth using multiple hypersonics, which they haven't done before.

Congratulations to humanity! Verified sources in Lebanon confirm that Israel has successfully eliminated Hezbollah's leader, Nasrallah. This marks a historic victory for the world, signaling a lasting shift in the Middle East. Iran and its proxies are now gripped by fear, and instead of regional war, a new era of peace is on the horizon. Hezbollah's reign is over. What remains are its final, desperate rockets and bullets. The Middle East, long tormented by Hezbollah's terrorism—killing millions of Syrians, forcibly displacing 9 million Christians, Muslims, and Druze, targeting Kurds, aiding the Houthis' attacks on Saudi Arabia, supporting radical Islamists to strike Bahrain, and slaughtering innocent babies and women in Israel and Iraq—has tonight witnessed the storm of justice. Tonight, justice has stormed in the hands of those who survived the October 7th massacre. Palestinian terrorist Hamas must surrender, free the hostages, and hand over Sinwar—or face the same fate.

The last Japanese survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack has passed away. Masamitsu Yoshioka flew off Soryu in a B5N Kate torpedo plane as part of the second wave to hit American forces.
His target was the retired battleship USS Utah which was being used as a target ship and was berthed where the US Navy aircraft carriers were usually berthed.
USS Utah would be sunk with 58 dead. Like Arizona she would never be raised.
Masamitsu Yoshioka was 106.

When the US Government Tried to Control Hurricanes: Project Stormfury
https://youtu.be/k3BYSZQG0R4
There was a brief period- actually more than two decades,- when the US government thought that they may actually be able to limit the awesome power of nature’s vortex. The ambitious "Project Stormfury" deserves to be remembered.
Controlling the hurricanes - the idea was... all wet.

No word on strikes in the Bekaa last night but the tempo of attacks doesn't seem to be decreasing. Probably limited by target factors.
Tehran is approaching the point reached by Delta house in the movie - time for "a really futile and stupid gesture on somebody's part". They have yet to "retaliate" for the Haniyeh hit in Tehran - one of the most audacious hits in modern history. And they're now behind by several additional IRGC officers sent to their reward.
I'd bet 10 - but not 100 - $ that what we're seeing is a Hezb eviscerated and in shock, and an Iran still terrified of getting into a serious scrum with Israel.

I don't think I cut anything vital. At worst, some of the warning lights mediated by the ECM will now not work. I will use compressed air to blow dust and crud from the space behind the dash before I put all the parts back in.

Admittedly the Jews had to do the same. My/our ancestors had a fine alphabet from the Canaanites but had to switch to the Imperial Aramaic alphabet to keep up with the new Babylonian masters. Which didn't have all the consonants.
And the vowels were barely there at all, so had to be dotted-and-dashed by the Masoretes.

Throughout the present bombings of the southern suburbs, the silence of Hezbollah is deafening. No statements, no recommendations to targeted neighborhoods, no comments on the assassination attempt against Hassan Nasrallah, nothing. This speaks (or rather doesn’t) volumes.

The lack of Hezbollah response so far is stunning. At this stage we were supposed to be deep into heavy missile barrages on central Israel. Maybe this will come later, but Hezbollah's ability to deter Israel from attacking Beirut is completely gone.

It’s pretty funny that Hamas’s Command Structure and Fighting Effectiveness lasted longer than Hezbollahs, Iran wasted Billions to create an Ineffective Fighting Force.

Not necessarily, it may have been just a matter of acting on faith and letting God handle the rest (like the whole bronze serpent thing-it wasn't the metal that did anything, it was obedience, in this case recognizing the message from his dying wife wasn't random gibberish).
There's a news report in passing about a ritual solution in Israel, that wasn't elaborated on, which supports the notion that M Night meant the whole thing to have been a spiritual matter.
The practice of exorcism wouldn't have applied here since the bodies being used by the demons weren't humans created in God's image.

Certainly true of Volvo, LOL. You know, Studebakers of the late 40's and 50's had one of the best heaters in the industry. There was a large heater core under the passenger seat (and dual heaters were optional!). Air from a fender vent went through a blower and into the heater core from below. If it was really cold out, you could close the exterior fender vent, and open an interior door to recirculate inside air. The defroster was a small water-heated coil on the firewall, with its own 2 speed fan, and it took in interior air, and reheated slightly, which increased its capacity to absorb moisture, so it cleared the windshield quite well, even if the heater was not in use. And all the parts were easy to reach for service.

About ten minutes later, the lights went out. Goes outside to investigate, and there's about two feet of water covering the area he had earlier walked across. By the time he grabbed the cat, the water was up to his thighs as he slogged over to his girlfriend's SUV. Got the cat in and went back to hurry his girlfriend along. Fortunately, she was parked on higher ground, but even so, the water was lapping over the doorframe as they climbed in.
Drove out to the road and he went back to see if he could get his car out too. By then, he saw the water was up to the door handles, so nah.
He went back today and confirmed that the water flooded his home up to a foot in back, half that in the front, which spared the living room furniture. Power is still out

"I'm in Grovemont. We have cell service, but no power or water. We are completely cut off, old 70 is impassable in either direction. No emergency or first responders can access us.
In my neighborhood off Westwood Ave we had major mudslides. 3 or 4 houses went down the mountain with their inhabitants. One woman died (confirmed), and there was possibly another death. Also serious injuries. All we have here now is Neighbor helping neighbor, trying to help aid and cope. We are completely on our own right now.
F&J Market, the laundromat, and everything on the river side of the road in that area is destroyed. It looks like bombs went off all over the community. My neighbor saw a man floating down old 70 on top of his mobile home this morning, screaming for help. There was no way to help him. The water was so fast. I'm sure there will be more casualties. My God, I've never seen anything like this."

Playing caps and blackjack requires the practical application of *probability*, not statistics.
Statistics is what the casino uses to detect funny business.
Probability is the future (will he make his point?), while statistics is the past (is this dealer going bust more than she should?).
They are related, but require... different... mindsets to use. I aced probability in math, but struggled to a (just barely) B in using stats in a measurement class.

On the other hand, When you look at legal gambling, such as blackjack or poker in a casino or sports betting or example, You realize it is not complicated. It is simple. In blackjack or sports betting, the player makes a risk that won’t be paid off in relation to the risk he takes. The mask makes it impossible for the large group of players to win, As a group, they are simply paying a toll for the entertainment.
Casino pokers even more simple, You play against each other not the house in the house charges you a fare. The house wins every dealt. If they charge too much, Even the best player in the world cannot possibly win, They try to keep the charge just enough that you think it is possible to have a chance.

The reality is 90% of people counting cards in Vegas have no clue what they’re doing and are long-term losers. Also, when other players sees someone win, it makes them bet more and it helps that casino. The number show the casinos are winning, and if you don’t trust the numbers, check out the skyscrapers.
Even the idea of card counting has made billions for Las Vegas.

You’ll get players and even people that ride about gambling talk about amplifying a streak or never giving up when you’re on a hot streak. Casinos think otherwise, They know in the end, they will get it all as long as you play the more you pay them. In the end, it is not talent or luck the numbers of the games are already cooked in.
When you look at gambling and the impact of variance, you realize even the games were even, Which they are not, It would still be extremely unlikely to win in the long term unless you had a bankroll of billions like the casinos do.

I will say this one thing if you ever look into people who have lost millions of gambling, Those same people won millions as well, That is how the thing works.
When you look at casino games clearly you see how the casino advantage is built-in. The more welcoming the game, the greater the casino advantage. You see this was slot machines and roulette. They have the greatest advantage because they are the most welcoming. Games like blackjack and craps are less welcoming in the casino has a slightly less strong advantage.
Sure, there are legit professional gambler, who make a living they do exist, but they are less common than even the average professional baseball player.

If I thought I was a great poker player, which I don’t, even though I played for 30 years, I would try to find a local game that doesn’t have the casino. Rake, The casino rake is in all games. That’s how they built the skyscrapers. When I look at people talking about or going along with sports betting, I really kinda have to laugh in a sad way. It is simply impossible to beat sports betting and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. If you do it for fun then great a lot of people blow 100 bucks on a meal at a French restaurant.

They will criticize some random person. “Taking their card” Because that person made its choice that other Rando would not have made. Pro tip, If you ever hear someone at a blackjack table, say someone else “took their card”, Then you know for sure that person knows nothing about gambling. They could be good people probably they are, but they don’t know anything about gambling.

Like you say, Quint, the players blab stupidly, and it's better to be able to walk by.

The theory the varied and the reality is that even if you are playing better than your opponents, you can still continue to lose for a very long time. Play poker, for example, for a living, you have to have so much money to cover various that could last for months or even years that you can continue to lose. That is the reality and legitimate poker pro would tell me that is the case. Who has so much money that they can lose for months and years at their job?

Every poker pro will tell you the person you want to be is the guy that already has a great living and is just showing up at the table to have fun.

Bottom line? I don't have enough money, to 'make money' at gambling. Few people do.

I quickly learned that the machine offered survivor sports Dubai from the dollars Worth a ticket. I “won” $20, so I broke even. I was lucky there, lesson learned. Most of gamblers Would. I made a mistake, and was lucky to.Break even on it.
