Probability is useful because it can make predictions that can be tested against reality.

Yes. But you'd have to run the test repeatedly and see if the outcome, i.e. Clinton winning, happens as often as the model predicts.

But we only get to run an election once. And there is no guarantee that the most likely outcome will happen on the first try.

Really, we should create incentives for homes to be built with high thermal mass. Even without any sort of fancy direct heating or cooling of a thermal mass, it will store significant heat.

Welcome to traditional housing in Italy and probably elsewhere in the Mediterranean region. Thick stone walls even out the temperature swings through the day. Throw open the windows when the temperature is comfortable and close up when it gets too hot or cold depending on the season. This gets you quite far without any air-conditioning or heating.

That's not exactly what happened. Starlink was already disabled in Crimea when the attack was launched and Musk refused to enable it specifically for the attack. Then the initial reports got a bit tangled up.

But yes, none of this should be up to Musk.

There is an alternative to getting older but you wouldn't like it.

That's just not true. Go to https://ev-database.org/ and compare the dry weight of the different models. You don't add 66kg going from standard to long range in software.

We have them in Torino in Italy where I now live. There are a lot more than I would have expected.

What's the over/under on how close that gets to being distributed before being destroyed by the most ethical army in the world?

There is also a dpkg command for that. Grep it for /bin/ and you've got your executable.

But don't get complacent. It's possible the polls this year are over-correcting for that. We won't know for sure until the election is over.

Not only that. You may need a quite healthy margin to overcome the various voter suppression and other plans the Rs have in place to steal the election. A Texas sized margin might do.
