@SociopathOnMars @LinkofSunshine This is true in all elections. There's a real chance that it is decided by one vote.

@LinkofSunshine I am unconvinced of choosing blue even IF I personally think that it will be close. The only time that my personal vote for blue would save anyone is if I were the decider in any other scenario everyone lives regardless or I just die if I pick blue.

@Penguin57a @JMilesColeman Interesting, I haven't seen that. Has there been anything similar for VA?
English
@ZackSilver11 @JMilesColeman Yes, but Trump's approval is way worse in CA, some high quality polls have it beyond -40.
English
The reason the VA vote is closer than Prop 50 was is because nothing from the Yes campaign went this hard.
English
@Penguin57a @JMilesColeman CA amendment outran Harris by 6 points. VA amendment slightly underperformed Harris.
English
@JMilesColeman Isn't the difference between the CA and VA propositions more or less in line with the difference in Trump approval between states? I mean in CA Prop 50 underran Trump negative approval by maybe 12 to 15 pts.

@ferald_gord Maybe he could start tearing down buildings in Arlington that are above the DC height limit?

really funny how this is just like not something a president can do. like not that it'd be illegal (which it would be) but there's like not even a mechanism for him to do such a thing.

The proper response from Donald Trump to these Virginia shenanigans is to announce that the retrocession of Arlington and Alexandria to Virginia was unconstitutional and that they are and always will be part of the federal district

With the Boston Marathon today, a good time to re-up one of the greatest figures in sports data: the distribution of marathon finish times (n=9,789,093). The spike at 4:00 is not a coincidence.

@questionableway 65537 is notable as 2^16 +1. There are many smaller numbers without a Wikipedia page
English
does being the smallest number without a wikipedia page make a number notable enough to justify having a wikipedia page? if so, [gunshots]

65,536 has a page but 65,538 does not

@ScoringChanges @BrushEmBack I know. I agree with you, and I'm saying that the other person's proposed rule change would create this problem.
English
@ZackSilver11 @BrushEmBack Baker can give up earned runs. The team cannot be charged with an earned run, but Baker can, that’s what a team unearned run is.
English
It happens when a pitcher gives up a team unearned run, which is unearned to the team because the inning should have been over, but earned to the pitcher because a relief pitcher doesn't get the benefit of previous errors prior to his entry into the game.
Abbott pitching
Batter 1: E6
Batter 2: E6
Batter 3: E6
Baker relieves Abbott
Batter 4: Grand Slam
Batters 1, 2, and 3 are unearned to Abbott. Batter 4 is TEAM unearned. It's unearned to the team because the inning should have been over (three errors), but it's earned to Baker because he doesn't get the benefit of those previous errors. Batter 4's run has nothing to do with the errors as far as Baker goes.
That's how that can happen.
Saint Saved By Grace@Freed_Saint
@ScoringChanges I knew this was possible before, but I can't remember how a team can have unearned runs but a pitcher can have them be earned runs.
English
@BrushEmBack @ScoringChanges So Baker gets to make an appearance in which it is literally impossible to give up an earned run? That's not fair
English
@ScoringChanges Without the error he may not have even entered the game! Would have been a 3 up 3 down inning and the other pitcher starts the next inning clean. Or they use a different pitcher to start the next inning clean based on matchup.
Cant convince me its a good rule! But good tries

@fuckithonestly_ @CharlesD353 It's a fairly common term in running/endurance sports. Means exhausting all your energy too early, causing a significant slowdown the rest of the way.
English
@CharlesD353 Wtf does blown up mean in this context. Couldn't have found a more ambiguous phrase
English
The lesson here is the opposite I expect.
The people who's limit is 4:03 are showing up here at 4:10 having blown up from going too fast chasing sub-4.
Nobody who couldn't run a 4 hour marathon is running one on a deadline, but lots of folks who could run 3:52 are pacing themselves for 3:59 instead.
I've been the guy who blew up and lost 15-25 mins chasing 4 multiple times, and later chasing 3:30.
