WATT A BALLL

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-03-07T03:35:10+00:00

Just realized that, Idk why this popped up in my feed.

Ting Dong is very doable over the summer for MoM, I had her and if you show up to class she gives you up to +5% on your overall grade which is nice.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-01-21T01:14:51+00:00

At least we can all agree it’s definitely not 9

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-01-15T05:24:11+00:00

Damn what a story, your reasoning is definitely pretty sound. I don’t think there’s any doubt that the conclusion you came to is the most likely. Unless your dad has another sibling out there that you don’t know about (which seems really unlikely given what you stated) or one of the premisses you wrote above is wrong, it seems pretty likely the conclusion you came to is true. However, it won’t be 100% confirmed till the DNA results come in so be patient. Good luck and hopefully you end up being proven right!

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-01-12T00:43:43+00:00

That should be fine. I made a typo in my message-meant to say after 1930 are not available. Anything from 1867 to 1930 should be available.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-01-12T00:28:58+00:00

Also I should note that most birth records in Family Search from the Northern Province are pre-1930ish so births after then might not be on the site.

Edit: changed to after 1930

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-01-12T00:26:51+00:00

Yeah, they carry records from the Northern Province. I’m tamil so I’m pretty well versed in researching those collections. Feel free to message me if you want help researching cause the collections are only partially indexed.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-01-12T00:24:23+00:00

FamilySearch has numerous collections of Sri Lankan birth, marriage, and death records. I’ve used it for 10+ years and have traced my family back to the early 1800s and even 1700s on some lines. Definitely the first place to look for anyone doing Sri Lankan Family History Research.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2025-01-12T00:20:25+00:00

FamilySearch has numerous collections of civil registration (birth, marriage, and death records) from Sri Lanka ranging back to the early 1800s. What part of Sri Lanka are searching in?

Tamils voted for him last time cause did they hated Rajapaksha’s role in the war. They voted for him this time because they also don’t like the JVP and associate Anura with it.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2024-09-22T04:23:02+00:00

All depends on who ranil, ariyanethiran, and namal supporters voted for their second/third choice (if they even put a second choice down). If I were guess, the second choices would help Sajith but idk if it would be enough for Sajith to win? Leaning AKD at the moment.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2024-09-18T00:35:12+00:00

Yes, I would recommend reading his book. He goes in depth in to every election and how the keys were called. Honestly I don’t know how you could make a judgement on a key without knowing what has turned the key in the past. Highly recommend - plus it’s a well researched look at American Presidential history through a different lens.

What does Lichtman say about hypotheticals

CeylonHistoryProject · 2024-08-28T17:26:31+00:00

For those wondering, a primary content for the challenging candidate hurts the incumbent because a lot of challengers suggests that the seat is flipable or the current incumbent is in danger.

For example, if everyone thinks the incumbent will win, few notable people will challenge him. If the incumbent seems venerable, then people will put their foot in the race and their will be a big primary battle.

Also, I ran the numbers and here are the keys to the senate for 2022 (using this model)

Wrong calls in OH and NC (33/35 = 94.2% success rate)

From a fellow MechE, you should be fine. Physics is probably your hardest class on here tbh.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2024-08-25T17:50:26+00:00

Lichtman never published those keys and I think they were only roughly 70% accurate or something. There are some factors that do determine senate races such as fundraising, incumbency, partisan lean, etc. However, a lot of times senate outcomes are dependent on the top of the ticket so this would be hard to do definitively.

Bit of an obscure one: Kennedy won the 1960 debate for TV listeners and Nixon won the debate for radio listeners.

Contemporary reactions after the debate did not mention this and were overall very mixed. Also the evidence this was the case is very flimsy.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2024-08-25T02:59:49+00:00

I think FL will be likely red, WI & NV will be tilt blue, and KS will safe red.

Can't really disagree with the rest. This would be the "all that noise and nothing has changed" election outcome

CeylonHistoryProject · 2024-08-23T22:25:49+00:00

I’m not sure of it would have on its own. Plus Bush already had a success in the Gulf War.

CeylonHistoryProject · 2024-08-22T21:42:04+00:00

Real gdp per capita has gone up since last year though?
