    - with more $10 words. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 17:18
    - i loved Rex when I was growing up, now he's just old racist man yelling at clouds -- nm - Beaker Oct 2, 17:13
    - kinda, but more political -- nm - mud Oct 2, 17:07

Color me actually surprised. The 'Perla' in the DeSantis's Texas --> Martha's Vineyard migrant case is actually named Perla. -- (link) - ty97 Oct 2, 16:39 3
- Seems like bad opsec to use your real name. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 16:41 2
  - I would have bet just about any money that Perla was a cover name. -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 16:44 1

If the % stands for raw votes, Lula would need about 75% of what's left to cross 50%. I don't know if that's true though. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 16:32 12
- The one advantage is that this makes the risk of something truly stupid happening in the short term which would kill the currency, the markets and the - Marlowe Oct 2, 18:16
- Good news is, it seems the places where Bozo is strong are closer to done. Not sure if the others are enough, the difference was not that large. - Marlowe Oct 2, 16:40 2
  - What is behind the mostly east/west split in support? - Reagen Oct 2, 17:15 1
    - Yep. The Western states are agricultural. Same for the interior of São Paulo. - Marlowe Oct 2, 17:23
- stupid runoff 4 weeks off - imagine all the mischief he could make in that time -- nm - mud Oct 2, 16:34 7
  - It's gonna be annoying close to 50. Like 48.3. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 16:40 6
    - I bow to your powers. With barely more than 1% missing to be counted, he sits at 48.2%. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 2, 18:15 3
      - It means he needs about 20% of the other votes to win the second round, assuming everyone votes again. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 18:25 2
        
        On paper, the votes for Ciro (3.1%) should be mostly his, and the votes for Tebet, probably around 50-50. - Marlowe Oct 2, 18:40 1
        
        Which would make it about a 54/46 second round. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 18:57
    - more -- (link) - mud Oct 2, 16:54 1
      - In some ways this year is worse than 2018. - Marlowe Oct 2, 17:03
faint praise alert! I like that Dell hasn't changed their power port in like 15 years. 2008 adaptor works on the 2022 laptop. -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 16:25 7
- Hell of a low bar ;) -- nm - colin Oct 2, 16:26 1
  - might be the thing I like most about it! -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 16:31
- Do you have a larger laptop? The smaller Dells at work are USB-C only but mine is a 15” and has both. -- nm - spamlet Oct 2, 16:26 4
  - yeah. I need something chonky to run all the 3D and stats software. -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 16:29 3
    - Mine was literally for the 10 key. - spamlet Oct 2, 16:32 2
