The World Wide Web was a CERN thing though.

CERN: Bringing you the Large Hadron Collider....and the ability to fap to limitless amounts of porn, anywhere in the world.

[scriver]

Large Hadron Collider. What I call my right hand.

The large hardon collider.

No, no, get it right. The amount isn't limitless. It's just beyond the ability of a single human to consume in their lifetime, and probably growing faster than they can cut into the pie, so to speak.

But there's a limit. It's growing, and will continue to grow, but it's there. And there's technically physical limitations as to which point the sheer amount will cap off because it's ran out of places to put the infrastructure to store and/or create new material even if by that point we'd have fully functioning porn studios inside quarks or something and things would just be silly. But still not without limit!

I like how sushi is on that list.

I don't think they cared if America really invented it or not.

But... That little girl in the other "yahoo news story" is going to cry again. Why can't Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney just all get along!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Well, I didn't end up voting for myself.

For President of the United States, that is. But as there was only a write-in option for District Commissioner of Preservation of Water and Air...

At this rate it's come down to hope and chance. It's almost absolutely certain that Ohio will be the state to decide, and who wins there is basically up to luck. Four days to determine the fate of the country for the next four, if not eight, years.

There's really no reason to predict. It's impossible at this rate. All anyone outside of OH can do is sit back and [hope (for Democrats)/pray (for Republicans)/alter mechanics of the universe using mad science in order to change how math works or something (for Geeks)] for their candidate of choice.

Personally, I'm going to get ready by playing "I'm Voting for Myself!" from the Bay12 "sub-games".

Not so much down to luck. Obama has held a steady lead in Ohio for weeks now. And as I pointed out before the derpstorm last night, it's not that Ohio is the tipping point state, it's that Ohio will be the canary in the coal mine. If Romney wins Ohio, he's outperforming the polls and should be expected to do so in enough other close battleground races (like Colorado and Virginia) as to have a chance to win. If Obama takes Ohio, it means the polls are essentially correct or even underestimating Obama's lead, and based on current poll data, he can be expected to take about 295-305 electoral votes and cruise to victory.

The pundits (well, other than the statistical wonks) are the ones wringing their hands and declaring it "too close to call", mostly because they're either too dense or too timid to make a prediction, too worried about being called "a partisan", or too interested in drumming up ratings on Election Night by heightening the drama. The statistical wonks like Nate Silver, the folks over at RCP, etc. have pretty much been laying anywhere from 66 to 80% odds that Obama is back in.

If Ohio fucks this up I'm disowning them.

You're gonna preserve the fuck out of that water and air.

I try to favor Obama in my predictions, because I really loathe Romney's positions and even more so those of the entire Republican party. I'm trying to avoid being too optimistic, which is why I'm not entirely sure about Obama's lead in Ohio.

I've never heard that canary analogy before, though. That's a good point.

If Ohio fucks this up I'm disowning them.

If the whole US fucks this up I'm disowning them... as soon as I turn 18 and can legally get my ass onto a flight to Toronto without my parents getting worried.

question: is mitt romney pro-internet censorship?

Not sure... probably yes though.

question: is mitt romney pro-internet censorship?

He is if the Republican party needs him to be, I'm sure.
