I wonder if the needle for GA/NC take into account the FL results (since they're correlated).

Hopefully it does, since the Miami-Dade shift is presumably not as predictive for other states as the average shift

Nationally, the polling is showing that Trump's best state relative to 2016 is probably going to be..... California.
I definitely doubt that!

Though I actually maybe wouldn't mind that for ballot measure purposes; some risk of some dumb ones passing in an extremely blue electorate I think.

I have two questions-

1.Why are people SOOOO sure that we won't know the results of the election for quite a while?
From what I remember, in 2016, we knew it on the same day!
  1. A ton of people are voting by mail
  2. While historically mail voting hasn't been that biased towards either party, this year we know it will be extremely biased towards Democrats because Trump has been politicizing VBM
  3. Some states (including, in particular, Pennsylvania) don't allow election officials to begin counting mail votes until election day
  4. In some states mail ballots can arrive several days after election day as long as they were postmarked by election day
  5. States will be inconsistent about the order in which they report the votes, so we can expect some states to swing from large Trump leads to Biden leads (or vice versa) as they count ballots from different modes

I really liked all of the Omega raids (in fact, FF5, 6, and 12 are three of my four favorite single player FFs, so SB was really spoiling me in that department!). I also did O4S, O8S, and O12S a few months ago with my fc... that was a ton of fun (O12S in particular is still pretty challenging even unsynced, and took us several days to clear).

<3 Alpha too. I had him as my permanent minion for like a month after getting him. The real Alpha also roams the world with Omega afterwards, and if you're lucky you can find him!:

Yeah, I always hate syncing down to 50 on BLM.

Nobody uses duty finder for coils, extreme trials, or savage raids; youll have to use party finder. If you want to do coils, you have a few options:

  1. wait until 80 to solo
  2. get a friend to run you through
  3. put up a PF that advertises first time bonus (other people will sign up to get easy poetics); if you do this, Id say in the description that youre watching the cutscenes.


If you want to do them synced itll be more effort to put together a group.

your choice on if you want mad gil or +1 def in eureka!
I kinda want the +1 def (partially because it looks like the claw will be kinda annoying to sell, and if I decide I want it later I'll have eaten the MB fees which are pretty significant on a 5M item!). I'd have to buy the other two items though, which would be over 2M.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (3DS)

Man people weren't lying when they said this game is long. Almost completely burnt myself out at Alltrades Abbey. I guess it doesn't help that I'm the kind of person who constantly likes to talk to NPCs to see what new stuff they have to say and holy shit does this game have a lot of that. I think I finished at around 85 hours.
When I last played this I made an effort to read all NPC dialogue every time it updated

I think I clocked in around 250 hours (also doing basically everything, all DLC, etc)

I don't expect everyone to get the answer right. But if everyone is getting it wrong in the same direction, as well as getting it wrong by over 200x, then that does, in fact, say something about what the public has been led to believe, in comparison to reality.
If they take an arithmetic mean that's going to bias it heavily towards an overestimate. If 90% of people say that 0 people have died (the most wrong they can possibly be on the low end) and 10% say that 5 million have died, you still get an average guess of 500k deaths.

Why are you acting like you know the r0 there or how much current measures are doing for the spread?

You can't possibly know any of that which you said, nor how many effectively have had the disease (nor muffin can).

It is all theory at this point.

The scientific consensus is that R0 is in the 2-3 range. It's certainly not less than ~1.4, which is what you would need for herd immunity even in the case where 30% of the population had been infected. Iirc serology testing has found antibodies in ~20-30% of NYC residents.

The combination of mitigation measures and partial herd immunity has self evidently brought the effective R below 1 since new cases have been decreasing there.

New York has already reached herd immunity.
No they havent. Its not herd immunity unless they could go back to life as normal and not go back to exponential growth.

They may have had 20-30% of the city get the disease, which certainly helps stop the spread a lot (reducing R by a factor of .7-.8), which brings them below 1 when combined with their currently sustainable level of distancing, mask wearing, etc. But they had to go through a completely unacceptable level of death and suffering to even get to that.
