    Sounds like you're thinking of 538's election needle, not polling data. If a candidate has 60% of the votes in a poll, assuming the poll is accurate, they win 100% of the time. The standard deviation on a population this big is practically 0

    Assuming crutches work like other bludgeoning weapons, a mithril crutch would be right about useless. Mithril's one of the lightest materials in the game and bludgeoning weapons scale based on their weight. It's a bit of an exploit to give your Hammerer a mithril warhammer so when he goes to mete out justice to a criminal dwarf, it's more of a light tickle than a hospitalization

    Czech President Petr Pavel said the initiative was not advancing as rapidly as envisaged partly due to the Russian government knowing details of the operation.

    “The more people know about the initiative, the more competition there is – on the one hand it was necessary to make it public to gain the support of other countries, but on the other we also revealed our cards, which Russia is of course now exploiting,” Pavel said.

    What? So what if Russia knows? How could they slow down a buy?

    Can you please elaborate? My naive thought is that it's small enough that I could patch or plug it and be able to at least ride for a few days til I can replace the tire.

    I've been wondering about that. We have a good bit of broken glass in the alley my garage is on. That's my best guess, but I can't imagine what scenario could actually lead to a bit of glass gouging through that much rubber. And then for it to not be noticeable until after a 20 minute ride, and for the glass to fall out of the hole? Seems a bit implausible.

    Bummer. I can see why a plug wouldn't be reliable for a gash like this, but why wouldn't you trust a patch here?

    Is this hole in my rear tire fixable?

    I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit? I'm not taking this bike past 90mph, so any fix doesn't need to be capable of withstanding incredibly high stress. But I don't want to be unsafe, either. Thanks for the help.

    Reattaching the connector is relatively easy. But unless the pcb itself is really mangled, a missing connector won't affect the computer POSTing. Can you send a closeup of where the connector should be?

    Nothing did go wrong, though. If you're saying there was a close call, that's true, but Russia doesn't have the ability to threaten a conventional response. And no one gets nuked for moving nukes around; look at Belarus.

    For less than the cost of a Big Mac, fries and a Coke, you can buy a loaf of fresh bread and some good cheese or roast beef, which you will enjoy much more

    What? Why? If I'm making a million dollars profit a year, why can't I just put it in a bank account or ETFs or whatever every year?

    I'm very anti-DRM as well, but I'm willing to give Valve my money even if there's a chance I lose my game down the line. Some of that money's going towards Proton and making Linux more popular
