They had better still serve the chicken crispers with honey mustard. 

Yes they still have the kids menu, and yes we will get you a dessert, and yes you can watch your tablet while mommy and I send dank memes to each other on our phones.

I hate to disappoint you, but they changed a year ago or so.  The new edition is a sad facsimile.

His numbers have to be the combo prices. 
 

 

Nope.

The price for the double 1/4 was the same as aggie08 above.

Eating like a child/teenager is the only reason to go to Chili's.

I know Muslims in Michigan has been belabored to death, though maybe not quite as much as Applebee's vs Sonic. As someone whose father is a Muslim in Michigan I have a perspective. I thought this was a good read and reminder. Even in the circles I know on that side of the family and people they associate with, opinions sway wildly. Pops is Kamala all the way for the record.

I can’t fathom how Trump, he of the Muslim ban, who moved the embassy to Jerusalem, who doesn’t care about Palestinian statehood, who says he’ll let Netanyahu “finish the job,” who thinks any Muslim who isn’t oil-rich and giving him money is a terrorist, receives any support from the Arab/Muslim community at all.

Is the Nate Silver part of that graphic real? EVERY swing state?

Nate Silver almost certainly has a large bet on Kamala winning and has been using his model to move the line in betting markets toward Trump to get him a bigger payout.

Is this something you have to ask for?

Or do you mean the last page on the electronic ballot where everyone you voted for is listed?

No, you vote on the screen, it prints out, then you run it through a scanner. The printed copy is actually what's counted. 

This varies by county. It depends on what system your county uses. The two authorized vendors for Texas, Hart InterCivic and Election Systems & Software, each have systems that do not print the auditable paper ballot. Here in Harris County, we use the Hart InterCivic Verity Duo system, which does produce an auditable paper ballot.

I have a feeling some people who vote Harris are still registered Republicans. I don’t think an appreciable number of registered Democrats will vote Trump

 

Also unaffiliated should favor Harris a little imo. If the voting is fairly evenly split across party I think that is in her favor

"Silver's analysis gives Trump a 24.4 percent chance of winning all seven swing states in November, making it the most likely scenario to occur. Meanwhile, Harris has a 15.6 percent chance of winning all the battleground states, the forecast shows."

I think the most likely scenario for our game this weekend is that Vandy beats us by 60. The second-most likely scenario is that we beat Vandy by 60.

Chili's talk and heartburn not going away...

the best thing on the menu that will absolutely wreck you

Appetizers Menu | Starters, Snacks, Finger Food - Grill & Bar Menu | Chili's

blech.  This is what they tried to feed the prisoners at Auschwitz. 

When asked why they would choose to starve instead of eating, they said "Chili's southwestern eggrolls?  Jew gotta be fucking kidding me"

I’d love to see the numbers from Westmoreland, Washington, or Lancaster counties before I get too excited about those numbers. I expect she’ll do fine on the eastern 1/3 of the state. I’m more concerned about the western half. 

I assume they called those counties "Bellweather counties" for a reason, likely they mimic'd the overall state vote in some regards in 2020.

Chili's Chicken Frisco* Salad (at the old Greenville location in Dallas 30 fucking years ago, was my go-to healthy meal. 

30% of my blocked widowmaker was probably Chili's burger.

 

That was probably a 2k calorie salad.

i'm enjoying the weird turn this thread has taken.

also you don't do lines off chick's asses, that's a rookie move. the hipbone is perfectly contoured for this type of mischief, and is located in a safe area close to fun areas.

or so i'm told.

People like Silver should be taken to Guantanamo Bay and waterboarded until they tell the truth that they are flat lying about these numbers.  These people are criminals and bad for our country.  

If your model spits out numbers that say it's close to a coin flip that one of these two candidates (more likely Trump) sweeps all seven swing states, you need to stop and go "Now hold on a second, that can't be right...."

Reminds of those McDonalds salad shakers that were more unhealthy than their burgers.

Seemed obvious that was going to happen. So long as the polling like that stays around 46 or fewer for Trump in these things it's good overall IMO.

Got to wonder how many are Haley voters who crossed over as well. Haley's performance in the various primaries:

NC: 23%

GA: 13% (withdrawn)

AZ: 18% (withdrawn)

Most Haley voters will "hold their nose" and vote for Trump, but a number will sit it out and another group will cross over. 

Also specific to NC - Robinson is a massive drag on the ballot for the GOP. 

GOP should have an election day edge so keep that in mind. Still, looks like Harris might be building a decent sized firewall in these states if this Marist poll is accurate.

Nate Silver wrote a book this year about how much he loves Sam Bankman Fried, hedge fund traders, and poker players. He’s a fucking loser.

We had a Chili’s directly across the street from an Applebee’s within a couple of miles of where I live. Then the Chili’s burned down. 
 

Damn you, Applebee Arsonist. I will find you.

That Marist independent voters in swing states poll is what we're talking about when we say none of the talk of polls favoring Trump makes sense when you really look at it. If Harris is winning early voting independents 54-46 in swing states then it's over, she wins. We are seeing things return back to pre-COVID patterns where Rs are more likely to vote early. With Ds holding even or slightly ahead in early voting numbers in most swing states, if Harris is also easily winning independents then it's over. 

Obviously we can't be sure that poll is the one that's accurate but it just adds to the evidence that the polls don't make sense. That WSJ Trump +2 national poll is just absurd. 

She's winning them by even more if you are referring to what I posted - those numbers are for all early voters in those states. 

but your point remains valid. the more surveys of people who have actually voted the clearer the picture will be - one way or another.

I kind of sort of knew that, but I can't remember the last time I saw a hard copy of my completed ballot.

I have only ever voted in the People's Republic of Austin, but the last few elections once you check in they hand you a blank ballot (except for the identifying information at the top) which reminds me of a scantron enlarged for old people. You insert that into the machine and then do your selections on screen. Once you are finished you review your selections and hit print. It then spits out the geriatric scantron with all of your selections printed on it, plain as day for you and god to see. You then take that to a machine where an election official watches you feed it in and then it is counted and stored. I assumed this was standard fare all over Texas, but maybe it's just here. i dunno. But i do like being able to review my selections on paper before final submission.

Just in case Trump might not step on his dick last night, Tucker took matters into his own hands and did it for him.

I understand that those counties were representative of the statewide margin. The eastern half of PA shifted massively blue last election. The western half shifted slightly red other than Pittsburgh and Erie.

Westmoreland, Washington, and Butler county go from Pittsburgh suburbs on one side to hillbilly maga on the other side. I’m very curious to see how those counties swing.

I hope Nate Silver got paid a lot by Thiel because he's setting himself on fire this cycle.  What's left of his reputation will be a punchline going forward.

 

Actually, on second thought I hope he didn't.  But the second part remains true.
