You are fucking slaying it! It should be illegal for anyone to be so confident.

As a district 4 resident I’ll add some more context (and reason why we need ranked choice voting nationally). The Republican primary was packed, with 6 total candidates. Boebert only got 43% of the vote, and the next closest was Sonnenberg at 13%. The non-MAGA conservatives spread their votes across all the other candidates. With ranked choice, it would be a much closer margin. I’m not saying she would have lost, but over 50% of voting repubs wanted someone else over Boebert.

The “good” news is Boebert is pooling poorly vs Dems in the district, which means we have a chance to flip district 4 blue in November.

This page has the election results https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-primary-elections/colorado-us-house-district-4-results

And heres the 538 page for CO district 4. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/house/2024/colorado/4/

Thanks for the Rec! I definitely miss the show. Adam’s YouTube channel sometimes scratches the itch, but not always.

"The child’s mother, 32, told police that the suspect, identified as Elizabeth Wolf, 42, questioned where she was from and made statements about her not being American, as well as “other racial statements.” "

This women attempted murder after confirming the mother was Palestinian. Textbook hate crime.

I (unfortunately) live in this district, so heres my local insight/opinions. The incumbent for the district, Ken Buck, stepped down in March, so it’s all “new” challengers, 3 of which have been involved in state/local politics. The district has been Red since 2008. As another poster shared, 538 polling shows her losing to 2 of the three Dems running in the primary. Most of east rural Colorado is more '90s conservatives than tea party/MAGA conservatives, so they are likely to stay home and not vote for Boebert.

Lines were redrawn after 2022 election which caused Boeberts current district to become more blue, and I think Adam Frisch has a good chance of winning, which means boebert has a shot at flipping two districts from red to blue. 538 doesn’t have any polling data for district 3 yet so this may just be a Lefty’s dream.

Great question! For the US, you will need a degree in Molecular Biology/Microbiology or a Medical (Laboratory) Technologist. You’ll then either need to live near the city where one of the few private companies that do wastewater testing ar e(my case), or live near a public health lab that does ww. Pretty much all state public health labs do it, but city/county level varies immensely. For the government route, look at APHL or NACCHO to find information on your local public health labs. There are a few universities that also do ww testing, for example I know University of Illinois, University of Missouri and Michigan State are all doing a bunch of wastewater work.

Feel free to DM me if you want more information.

As Philpo said, we mainly do covid, but we can do Norovirus, which is a common GI virus that can give you the shits.

Love to hear it! 2 years ago I had no idea that I’d be working with wastewater but here I am now!

Anyone out here reading this, write to your senator about increasing funding to public health!

Wastewater-based epidemiology. Basically we track infectious diseases in wastewater, and the results guide public health decisions.

Absolutely. If premium was 7 bucks a month I would subscribe today, but 14 a month is insane!

Do it.

I’m not super tech savvy but it looks like Jedi.Academy will become available next month, if the current owner doesn’t renew.

Tatooine.social or MosEisley.social would be good second picks.

Another meme one could be alderaan.no

What I mean is, yes I’d love to see a Star wars specific instance.

You are describing World War 3.

If Taiwan joins with Ukraine, then China joins with Russia and invades an underdefended Taiwan. Taiwan allies then have to join to protect them, and it balloons from there.

If you liked dicey dungeons, take a look at Slice and Dice. It’s a dice rolling rogue-like where you fight your way through a 20-room dungeon, finding equipment and upgrading your heroes along the way. It also has the best feature of rlany rogue-like I’ve played, an undo button. You can get it on steam, but it’s also on itch.io and you can get it for both mobile and PC for one purchase.

This was a state felony, so he would have to become governor of New York to pardon these convictions

Good thing the governor is a Democrat and will likely veto this bill.

Technologic objects to your statement

My 2012 Impreza has 92k on it and I bet I can put another 100k on, easy.

That’s basically how we make them, but we also top them with diced green apple, feta cheese and a balsamic drizzle. Absolutely heavenly.
