Apart from the jetlag it's not too bad, actually. I've had worse jobs that didn't take me to the far corners of the world.

Yes, and no. They estimated a slightly higher chance for a Hillary win over a Donald win, but they were well within the margin of polling error, and they have been for every election. Plus people have a tendency of over-valuing a "51% chance to win".

While this is good news, it could mean nothing.

EDIT: 538 explained it better than I ever could:
"Statistically, too, there is no meaningful difference between a 50-in-100 chance and a 49-in-100 chance. Small changes in the available polling data or settings of our model could easily change a 50-in-100 edge to 51-in-100 or 49-in-100. That’s all to say that our overall characterization of the race is more important than the precise probability — or which candidate is technically ahead.”

Yes; pollsters and advertising platforms. They've got to be raking it in these days.

2k@120

I'm not that picky in terms of resolution, but I am when it comes to FPS.

But in all honesty, 2k@60 would be fine too.

1602 was the best Anno. Fight me.

Never played the futuristic ones. What appealed to me with the anno games was the atmosphere of sails and settlers.

In 2009 there were like three people in line in front of me. Must've taken at least 30 seconds before an available election official could check my ID. It was extremely early in the early voting period, and there was only one place open that early. I was going to be abroad for the next month, so I had to vote that day.

When not voting early, I can't recall there ever being a line.

"2009 election, you say??"

Norway.

I played a lot of D&D back in the day, and while I'm normally not a superstitious person, we did have a dice jail for poorly performing dice. That light blue d20 was a repeat offender.

I'm WFH with a pretty chill work day except I'm on standby 24/7 in case of something stupid happens at work. So not much would change for me, honestly.

Each to their own I'd say, but I'm all for rule bending.

I've always been up front about modding based on what I consider reasonable interpretation of the spirit of the rules combined with common sense. This means that some things that technically should or shouldn't get deleted gets a treatment it wouldn't get by strict interpretation of the rules in their literal meaning.

That being said, my interpretation of the rules may not necessarily conform with those of other mods, so I rarely complain if someone else decides to overrule me.
