    This is the deadliest year in U.S. history, with deaths expected to top 3 million for the first time —

    "expected to"

    So these deaths haven't happened yet

    due mainly to the coronavirus pandemic.

    How do we know the cause of these "expected" deaths?

    They haven't happened, they might not happen.

  • Nah, we'll rely on the backup.

    @89th said in Voteflake:

    Ok, so let's recap.

    2016:
    Trump - 63.0 million votes (46.1%)
    Clinton - 65.9 million votes (48.2%)
    Result: Trump wins with 304 electoral votes.

    2020:
    Trump: 74.2 million votes (46.9%)
    Biden: 81.3 million votes (51.3%)
    Result: Biden wins with 306 electoral votes.

    In 2016, Trump said his 304 vote win "was a landslide", even though he had 2.9 million fewer votes. Ok, no problem, he won fair and square.

    In 2020, Biden won with 306 electoral votes, and had 7.1 million more votes. But...this is not a landslide? In fact, it's not even legit because Biden's team rigged the system, despite no evidence and nearly every lawsuit laughed thrown out?

    Ok, got it.

    You had it right until you got to the point where you stated as fact that Biden got 81 million votes. Only a fucking fool believes that. Your st one mistake is when you claimed there was no evidence and nearly every lawsuit was thrown out. You're just repeating the garbage you've read on the news. They were thrown out before any evidence was presented.

    Though I don't know why I bother to try to open your eyes. You proved to me mo this ago that you are dishonest when you said "I'm actually a conservative and wanted Trump to win". Both are lies. I didn't get where I am in life by being fooled by people, especially those who lie to me.

  • Apple AirPods

    I used to use a pair of Apple’s 1st generation AirPods regularly, they fit and stay in my ears just fine, and I very much looked forward to active noise cancellation back then. But the batteries deteriorated over time, to the point where I had to keep one pod in one ear while putting the other pod back into the case to recharge, all within the same hour-long conference call; worse when I had to do back-to-back conference calls.

    There is no true “battery replacement” service for AirPods. Whatever Apple calls “battery replacement” for the AirPods, they basically swap your old AirPods with new ones, and the cost was very high, close to buying new ones anyway. The olds ones just become electronic waste.

    Between the short batter life, the monetary cost, and the environmental cost, I just stopped using AirPods and went back to using wired ear pods.

    In addition to Delaware, the securities fraud unit in the Southern District of New York also scrutinized Hunter Biden’s finances, according to the person with direct knowledge of the investigation. The person said that, as of early last year, investigators in Delaware and Washington were also probing potential money laundering and Hunter Biden’s foreign ties. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

    This puts to bed the notion that large conspiracies cannot exist. This conspiracy of 70 young men would have gone undetected if not for the answer key they were cheating off of having that wrong answer.

    I doubt they set this up for this one and only test.

    If they were afraid, they would have left the scene.

    Exactly. Our stray, Maggie, is the most vocal thing in the world. Always talking, meowing, etc. She gets particularly vocal when I brush her, and one would think she's objecting to it.

    But no, if she didn't like it, she'd leave.
