Biden’s selection as Obama’s VP 16 years ago was talked about a good capstone to a long career in politics.

Seriously nobody in their 80s is mentally fit enough to lead a county.

538 is not what it was. Nate Silver left and took the model with him. The current 538 model is new and untested. The old 538 model has Biden at 26%.

For hard soil you use a different tool. It’s similar to how you have saws for wood and saws for metal.

When you fill the tube with cement it gets the nickname “Redneck Lockpick”.

It’s old but Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy is great.

The Intel CEO had always come from engineering fab. This kept the high level decisions made by somebody who understood the product and how it was made.

Then CEO and the head of fab was caught sexually harassing employees. They were both shown the door. So no CEO and the guy who was next in line were gone. They needed the number 2 in fab to take over fab to keep production up.

So the board decided to make the CFO the new CEO. A guy who had a MBA was running a chip company that had only been run by engines.

Profits went up for a while but then Intel struggled to maintain innovation and properly upgraded fab and chip design. Add the increasing skill of rivals and a increase in importance in chips other then server and desktop. which were the only areas Intel was king. It’s a recipe for failure.

I use VSCodium and other then bulk comment / uncomment and renaming I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

I’d love some examples to help improve.
