I don't get the hubbub about French food either. I've been to fancy french restaurants, and the food was good but nothing special. Some French cheese is very good, but i can get that at local gourmet markets. The prepared dishes themselves were not remarkable to me

He's not doing anything. His model is setup many months before the election, and then it stays completely unchanged until the election is over. He doesn't do any polling, he just runs his pre-set simulation model on the data that the pollsters release

50.015% literally means that neither candidate is favored to win. Take out a coin, assign Harris as heads and trump as tails, now flip the coin a bunch of times - and that's exactly how often Harris or trump is likely to win the election

EDIT

Nate Silver just posted his final pre-election blog post and he explains very clearly that this is a dead even race. Either candidate is just as likely to win as the other candidate.

We'll see. Gen Z - show us up in our dumb old faces. Are zoomers just the new boomers?

Drier sheets/fabric softeners do nothing. In fact they actually harm some items

Eh they could do whatever they want. They could declare that "the point in time has been reached that god wanted women to be able to be priests from. His plan has always been that women were not allowed to be priests until a certain date had passed, and now that date has arrived."
