I'm not sharing the link correctly, somehow. There's no preview of the page, just the active link. I assume there's probably markdown or similar I should use, just not sure what it is.

Not sure what I need to do differently in my post to make the link work correctly :(

This was a pretty good read, also rather uncomfortable. I live in Arizona and I worry about the future here for my kids.

This is a good place to start for helmets. They have the same sort of ratings for different sports so if nothing in the equestrian list looks good, you should check the bicycle list. Note that it's not necessarily current for everything but it's a good starting point.

When a person has nothing left to lose they will take chances that otherwise they wouldn't. If we weren't living in a corporatocracy, perhaps there'd be no demand for this sort of thing, but we do and there is.

You have to ask the counter guy. They're next to the muffler bearings and blinker fluid.

Michael Steele is still a registered R and he seems like a pretty solid guy. My money's on Kinzinger also though

Silver isn't with 538 anymore, I think his model and the 538 model have the same basis though, probably diverging a bit since he left?

In any case, the point that an 80% chance of X is no guarantee of X got pounded home, don't you think? :)

Perhaps the 538 simulation projector would be along those lines?

  1. It gets treated as a "we'll work on it when we're not busy with wars, inflation, etc etc etc" issue. It's important, just never the top of the list.

(It's gonna fuck us blue but humans are bad at dealing with tomorrow's problems before tomorrow)

  1. In the US election now, if you lean D, you care. If you lean R you don't. The assumption is that Harris would address it and Trump won't, so your vote for/against climate action is implied.

That said, the amazing growth of solar may yet save us from ourselves, if we're very lucky.
