44. It's possible I'll suffocate in the next second
Sun Feb 21, 2016, 01:13 PM
Feb 2016

as all the air molecules in the room randomly wind up in the upper SE corner.

If we just talk possibility, then the best we can say it's highly improbable and not impossible.

As for the caucuses, the data I've seen so far (neither ignoring it nor obsessing about it) shows a lot of variation but even stronger divergence between reality and assumptions. Predictive statistics relies on assumptions.

I'll go with a "he'll win some, he'll lose some." And since my opinion's irrelevant and reality doesn't give a rat's assumption about what I think, and since the events haven't been held yet, I'll be a nice observer and observe while letting my adrenals and para-adrenals rest.
