2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I'm making the assumption myself that Selzer is more correct than these other dorks, but there is such a simple explanation for the misses if this ends in a blowout win for Harris. How long have we been watching this unfold and asking "How is this thing even close?" The pollsters adjusting and adding weight to the data in their models in order to "find" the hidden Trump voters that were missed in 2020 and 2016 are completely missing something that the electorate itself is observing in real time that is actually nullifying the hidden Trump vote. 1. Dobbs, obviously and most importantly 2. Trump in 2024 is the oldest, most unfit and unstable candidate of any if our lifetimes 3. Or 2b. The most hideous, tone-deaf, messy, insulting, hateful and clumsy campaign of my lifetime. This is not spiking the ball, it will still likely be very close in PA, NC, GA, AZ. But it's not hard to understand how all the stat geniuses could shit down their own legs in unison.

They couldn't get the ai image generator to make him stand up straight instead of that centaur pose?

Harris is obsessed with gender reassignment surgery for everyone, maybe even herself.

Can you invite an age group/ generational historian or scholar to come and give a presentation so we can stop having these Boomer/genX arguments seemingly across the entire board?

I'm sure there are many that want Haley to step in and restore the party, but there is a great chance that she gets primaried in favor of a really shitty white dickhead.

Little ingredients like this combined with the PA registration fraud and sprinkled with Trump's cronies pushing for early voting...starts to resemble a recipe for full-on fuckery. I know I am being paranoid, but we can't pretend these people haven't been think-tanking ideas for how to actually steal an election over the last four years.

Trap. Or "Why does M. Knight Shyamalan keep getting allowed to make movies?"
I watched it on Max. It was utter nonsense, and Hartnett's performance was so incredibly off-the-mark, but it was so stupid that I enjoyed watching this piece of shit trainwreck unfold. But I also really enjoyed the Happening in the same way. The edible was certainly helping with the enjoyment. Raw dogging it is probably a bad idea.

Is this a confession? Did you election interference your brother-in-law into an early grave? Eh, I think that's forgivable. It's not like you had a private email server or anything that bad.

I think the trends are showing that Trump's people know they are not convincing or swaying any women or true independents/moderates and are focusing everything on turning out young male voters. If they can get a huge turnout with that demo, it gets very close, but that's also the toughest bloc to energize. But it explains some of the bizarre stuff like talking about dudes in the locker room appreciating the old white golfer's wang. Wait, no it doesn't explain that at all, but maybe they were pushing for him to say some macho shit and he translated that into "Get a load of that old dude's giant swinging johnson, he's a real man's man and we like that."

This lady's flustered exhalation is probably the most concise and perfect reaction to Maga bullshit I have encountered. Hilarious.

Might be worth calling anyway to see if they recommend a 3rd party site for that battery.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: The Land of Melk & No Money
Owens' 5-star ranking was particularly memorable because he got a huge boost in the last rankings due to "NFL projectability" or some shit, and aggy lost their goddamn mind for like a month over it. It was hilarious.

New battery should fix it! Now just try and avoid shitty refurb batteries from China off Amazon. Ordering from Lenovo is the safe bet, it's hard to tell what you are getting with Amazon.

Thinkpad X13 won't boot - i can haz nerd help? Power?
It won't POST, so I would highly doubt it is a drive issue. If it was a corrupt boot partition or failed drive, it should POST. I would say that means it is a problem with either power, video, motherboard, RAM or CPU. Power or motherboard are the most common points of failure in my experience. I would try taking the battery out and leaving it out, unplugging everything, and holding the power button down for like 30 seconds. It's a dumb catch-all step for discharging the current in all the internal components. Then plug it in but leave the battery out and try to power it on. It should be able to power on without the battery. If not, I suspect one of those 5 things has failed and it's up to you whether it's worth replacing components. Also, if it's not very old, check the warranty, some companies buy extended warranties that would cover faulty hardware. You might be able to get support if you called in and got a support rep who isn't that concerned about verifying your status with the company.

Yeah, I guess this was the oldest thread about it, but there is one that is actually active.
