- Not gonna link, but if you scroll down, there's a story about how Joe Rogan laughed as Trump tried to explain how the election was stolen. - Mop🧹 Oct 26, 11:59 3
  - Saw that. Don’t think that went as well as his people hope/think. Doubt there’s much impact though. -- nm - VMan Oct 26, 12:04 2
    - Frankly, I think the people who listen to Joe Rogan are the type that may be swayed. They're not necessarily all-in MAGA die hards. -- nm - Mop🧹 Oct 26, 12:16 1
      - Don’t rightly know his crowd, but I take undecided right now to mean don’t wanna say. Hard to imagine those who haven’t picked a side at this point. -- nm - VMan Oct 26, 12:21
Beto! -- nm - JD Oct 26, 11:24

Presenting the 2024 Election Contest -- (link) - Reagen Oct 26, 10:04 7
- What would the "House margin change" answer look like? Would I say, for example, Dem +7 if I think the Dems gain 7 seats? -- nm - mara Oct 26, 12:05 5
  - Right, in the direction of. - Reagen Oct 26, 12:32 1
    - Good, thanks! -- nm - mara Oct 26, 12:32
  - I mean, I think the literal margin in that case, if Dems gain 7, would be um... 3? (219-216?) But I'm not sure how you're using "margin." -- nm* - mara Oct 26, 12:13 1
    - Or, wait -- "margin change." A Dem margin of -6 would change to +3, so that's a *change* of 9. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 12:15
  - ha! that's my guess! -- nm - mud Oct 26, 12:11

DTL'ers -- where did Andrew Meyer (c4) finish in your rankings? - Will Hunting Oct 26, 07:36 7
- Only in the high 200s here. The algorithm says his rebounding and defense numbers are fine but should be better given the height. - Bayronmax Oct 26, 08:20 6
  - I should be a top 40 class today -- could be top 10 if I get 1 of the 2 big ties. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 08:25 5
    - I'll be OK if I only get the three CL, but I could really use a break. The Frinkulator has been very unkind to me the past 6 seasons. -- nm - Bayronmax Oct 26, 08:32 4
      - I've had much better luck (probably anecdotal) when I started maxing out the PP --35/34/33...etc - Will Hunting Oct 26, 08:33 3

        Whaddyaknow? My star player went Middle of the 1st round of the draft. Never CPoY, no national awards. - Bayronmax Oct 26, 11:34
Tony Clark doesn't get it. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 07:26 2
- Clark has been terrible at the job but for some reason the players seem happy with him . -- nm - Krusty Oct 26, 07:53 1
  - He hasn't given away the farm in negotiations and teams are spending money for the most part so it's not that bad. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 08:17

- Fortune cookies are a relatively new thing in Britain and you don't get at most takeaways -- nm - LMS Oct 26, 09:47 2
  - Also started as the sitdown restaurant experience. You get them, you compare with each other, you laugh. With takeout, who do you read it to your cat? -- nm - con_carne Oct 26, 11:21
  - That would explain the way they were biting into them. -- nm - Krusty Oct 26, 10:07
