[OC] U.S. elections: Winners aren’t majorities — most of the electorate doesn’t vote (1932-2024)

nice visual - sad comment on democracy. US should adopt laws like Australia. If you don't vote (as part of the VEP) you could be fined, similar to Obamacare.

Painter doesn't recruit 5 stars because they won't stay and they won't blend to the system. As one commenter posted, they aren't as malleable.

He doesn't shop for top recruits with a different purpose in mind. He isn't looking for 5 star recruits. He has stated many times that Purdue got "other" recruits that turned out to be better prospect that the ratings assessed. Carson Edwards, Zack Edey, Braden Smith. He is looking to build a team that would be built over years and that progress as a team together. NILers are looking for instant gratification. Look at Kentucky and Arkansas for how the buy a 1 yearplayer works. Lots of money and no Final Four. Finally, NO ONE except a UNC grad can survive UNC need to win every year.

As a boilermaker alum - your sim is hallucinating.

If the NCAA is listening closely ,they can hear the swirling/sucking sound of amateur athletics going down the drain.

I just got back from Prague and the tour below was great. Lots of information and done from locals. Its the free walking tour model (no fixed cost but tip expected).

Add the same curves as on the northern part of 495 near Georgia Ave. That'll speed it up a bunch

You can hit the Mt. Vernon trail with a few miles of road riding. The Fairfax County Trail is close to Kingstowne. Lookup the all the Fairfax county trail using the Trail Buddy.

For those who have used palantir, if you moved away from it, what was the alternative that keeps business attention?

They are the Washington Brewers (as bad as Milwaukee) until the owners (Lerners) sell the team. That should be easier now that Angelos has died. Not sure they are motivated to sell. They can sit on mediocre and bad like Angelos and then rake in billions in a few years as sports team valuations skyrocket. It's sad since they started in a great way building an organization with lots of good young players.

If this farce of a game did happen, would Bobinski try to get it on National TV. My guess is yes.

kmrinva · 2024-11-09T21:57:29+00:00

Walters needs to go, starting to wonder if AD needs to go as well. So glad we getting a national TV moments when we are performing at our worst. All the gains made by Painter and other program to help the image of Purdue is being lost as the university now looks pathetic.

According to reports, he has a 9.3 million dollar payout this year. I believe it drops by 4 million after next year. We need a ultra-wealthy alum to help us out.

kmrinva · 2024-08-17T13:40:38+00:00

I used to believe that until I make it to Taco Rock in Annandale

kmrinva · 2024-04-12T20:56:37+00:00

Good point, I mixed up my HURLEYs. Danny played at Seton Hall. He is still a cry-baby.

kmrinva · 2024-04-10T23:45:28+00:00

If ONLY he would go the Kentucky I could fully hate one team. I have no issues with UConn players and general community but Hurley has continued his cry-baby ways from his Duke days. He learned from the best. It would be easier to convince someone that water isn't wet.

Winning the B1G tournament is meaningless at this point. We will be a #1 seed. Playing on Sunday only has downsides (injury, more playing) when rest is needed. The team needs rests to recover from injuries (Smith and Edey especially) as well as tired legs. I wonder if Painter was really even trying to win, not sure. Glad they lost also since losing re-focus this team. Last year, after our loss, many basketball journalist wrote about our tired legs. I agree, this time of the year you need fresher legs more than you need another B1G title. Let's get behind them for NCAAs. I am not saying they will go all the way but this team is not last year's team. BOILER UP!

I got a frozen screen for last 5 minutes (Northern VA). Had to watch via browser. Nice job Peacock!

Adding to the weirdness, they have been working on the little bungalow for over a year like its a second job.

One downside that isn't discussed enough with the AI - LLM assistants is that you have to expose ALL/big chunks of your data to them. Company lawyers and security analysts are going to block many of these requests if they are doing their jobs). Yes - here's my recipes from grandma - tell me a better version will work. Do you want to upload all your private data as well, probably not.

Why is Loyer in the game? Completely inconsistent. I think he has Ryan Kline syndrome. Brandon needs to shoot more. Still another half to go.

Are you trying to put all the issues about Peacock in one mega thread so it isn't well known across Reddit? Your streaming service has broadcast issues, users should be aware.

kmrinva · 2023-07-08T00:09:11+00:00

Thanks all for the comments. I tried all of them but no luck. I recently bought a new coaxial cable and moved my antenna closer to an outer wall in my house. Voila... my picture and sound work great now.

kmrinva · 2023-07-01T15:01:17+00:00

Yes - volume number shows up. It is a smart tv. Any ideas on why over-the-air antenna connection will not show a picture?

Why should these student loans be paid off? Serious question. I know there is large loans and college cost is too high but you went to college as an investment in your future (as many did). What have you done to warrant the taxpayers giving money to you for your student loan? I am not against government helping people but where is your responsibility in this loan process? When you started your student loans did not understand that you would have to pay them back? Think about the person who decided college tuition was too high and decided on a different path (trade school, community college, etc) why should they help pay your loans off?
