Re: 2016 US ELECTION: Official Results Thread
Yes, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia are all safe Republican states. The only big scare thus far is Trump leading in Virginia, but its early yet, and CNN just announced that Clinton now holds the lead in NC and Florida. Virigina is easy. Just read that Northern Virgina, which is deep blue, was...

Re: 2016 US ELECTION: Official Results Thread
However, all these Trump wins up to now were already priced in, right?

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part IV)
To make it short, they are implying people who weren't in the line at 7 PM still got to vote. This of course raises the question how they are plannning to prove this accusation. I bet they just want all the votes from that polling station thrown out of the window. Any chance they get through with th...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part IV)
There's already a lawsuit filed in Nevada regarding the latino early voting at the supermarket. Will this lawsuit get anywhere? As far as I've read, they are allowed to keep it open as long as there is a line. That the GOP is suing because the polling station only closed two hours after normal clos...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part IV)
Something that made me scratch my head: I did read several pieces that vehemently spoke out against early voting. What't the problem there? After all, next to all European States have that for decades (only it's all either done by mail or you deliver it to the office yourself, no early voting statio...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part IV)
Something I did notice: The recent bizarrly high gains for Trump look a lot like these convention bumps in polls (you know the ones, a sudden, sharp rise). Since polls in general by virtue of their nature lag behind by around a week, you think current polls are highly unreliable? On the other hand, ...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part IV)
If you're concerned, then I suggest that you make sure to vote if you haven't yet, and if you have, do everything you can to encourage your friends, family, coworkers, etc. to vote. Since I'm watching the whole thing as a foreigner from the outside, I'm left with hoping for the best. It's not that ...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part IV)
I'm starting to lose all hope. Seeing how Trump's absurd power boost goes further with each day (I still honestly have no idea what the hell is going on) and he's only a little short of 270 now at 538, I simply can't find anything to see the positives. New Hampsire is down to 3.0 and the uncertaincy...

As someone who is watching this whole thing from the outside, could you please answer me a few questions?

Re: Malaysia Airlines 777 Crash (Europe)
Breaking on BBC's live feed: Separatists have changed pieces of wreckage by cutting into them, according to OSCE monitors on the site. Well, that was predictable, but didn't help them since it was still very quickly confirmed that the perforation of the hull is consistent with the shrapnel from a b...

Re: Malaysia Airlines 777 Crash (Europe)
I don't think it would be very easy to fool the experts at Boeing and the various European and American versions of the NTSB. Sure data might be deleted or altered but it's highly unlikely that anybody could pass it off as fake data or damaged in the crash. In other words, if they try to fake or de...

I think the black boxes are worthless by now. They've had all time in the world to alter any data or make it appear it got destroyed in the crash.

Re: Malaysia Airlines 777 Crash (Europe)
Exactly, right now there aren't any Ukrainian armed forces in the area. The resolution won't pass anyway, the Russians won't care they look like douchebags and simply veto it.

Has Ukraine taken steps to secure the scene? The articles seem to mention that OSCE personnel are not being allowed to access the full scene by separatist militants. Are the Ukrainian armed forces not in a position to do anything? They can't. It's in the middle of the seperatist-controlled area, cl...

Re: Malaysia Airlines 777 Crash (Europe)
Of course I fully expect that the tampering is discovered. Since as you said, most of these militia are not professionals.
That's the interesting thing, regardless what they do, it'll only hurt them.

It's pretty obvious they've destroyed all important evidence or brought it to Russia to be be destroyed. You don't do this unless you've got something to hide.

Having had some time to reflect on the game, it seemed like none of the two teams actually wanted to win (no wonder, considering who's waiting for them). It was perhaps the most boring match of the entire tournament. Compared to the Dutch, Argentina is doable. Their last three games were atrocious, ...

Costa Rica actually was atrocious. They made it abundandly clear from minute one that they were aiming for the penalty shoot-outs, since this after all had worked well for them against greece. Damn, I hate teams that play this destructively defensive.

Re: Cyprus - The high price for a rescue
From what I heard, the Russians decided to tell them to get lost (not that directly, but it's the gist of it). Doesn't look good for Cyprus, they probably now get an even worse deal.

Re: Cyprus - The high price for a rescue
As expected they try to play strong man and rejected. I think they painfully overestimate their extortion potential, screaming for money but not wanting to do anything for it (not just the recent developments, they want to stay an oasis for dubious money). I wonder how they manage to ignore the real...
