Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Well, The Owl House is one of those that jams LGBT rep down your throat, so they may have crippled themselves with that. But the show is very popular online, and with streaming, it's hard to say if the 10 a.m. TV slot even matters for how they calculate the ratings.

You know how the battery in you smartphone goes to shit in 3-4 years. Imagine having a car with a high voltage battery pack that costs more than a new engine in most. If you ignore luxury sedans, hybrids have the worst deprecation over 5 years. Prius is around 50% and Leaf beats out most luxury sedans at 72%.
R. G. LeTourneau was the Tesla of the 50's. He saw the future was diesel-electric and that hydraulics of the day were terrible. He would probably go crazy if he saw all the hydrostatic drive equipment today.
Diesel electric vehicles are not hybrids because they lack a second power source like batteries.

FTFY.
That, I give you, but answer me this. If The Owl House is so popular, why is Disney canning it with only 3 45 minute specials while stuff like Amphibia and Big City Greens are getting full third seasons?

Wait whoops, fake news. I confused The Owl House with The Loud House.
But TOH, now that I'm looking at it, had an openly bisexual female lead. That definitely contributed to the lack of people watching it, in my opinion. At least in the intended demographic, aka kids, who would be the ones begging their parents for toys and such. Disney even openly stated the reason they canned it was because of how it affected their image.
The Loud House had very close ties to pedophilia iirc, though now that I'm looking into it I can't find anything substantial.

Hispanic Voters Now Evenly Split Between Parties, WSJ Poll Finds
(archive)
Republicans have made rapid gains among a crucial voting demographic that has long favored Democrats
The nation’s large and diverse group of Hispanic voters is showing signs of dividing its support between Democrats and Republicans more evenly than in recent elections, a new Wall Street Journal poll finds, a troubling development for the Democratic Party, which has long counted on outsize Hispanic support.
One year after giving Democratic House candidates more than 60% of their vote, according to polls at the time, the Journal survey found that Hispanic voters are evenly split in their choice for Congress. Asked which party they would back if the election were today, 37% of Hispanic voters said they would support the Republican congressional candidate and 37% said they would favor the Democrat, with 22% undecided.
Hispanic voters were also evenly divided when asked about a hypothetical rematch in 2024 of the last presidential contenders, with 44% saying they would back President Biden and 43% supporting former President Donald Trump. In 2020, Mr. Biden won 63% support among Hispanic voters, nearly 30 points more than Mr. Trump, according to AP VoteCast, a large survey of the presidential electorate.
‘Latinos are more and more becoming swing voters.…They’re a swing vote that we’re going to have to fight for.’
— Democratic pollster John Anzalone
Hispanic voters account for about 1 in 8 eligible voters and are one of the fastest-growing groups in the electorate, factors that compound Democratic fears about any deterioration in support.
“Latinos are more and more becoming swing voters.…They’re a swing vote that we’re going to have to fight for,’’ said Democratic pollster John Anzalone, whose company conducted The Wall Street Journal Poll along with the firm of Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio.
Messrs. Anzalone and Fabrizio said the poll showed that economic issues were the main concern among Hispanic voters, drawing Hispanic men, in particular, toward the GOP.
Hispanic voters in the survey ranked economic issues as the priority for Mr. Biden and Congress to address. Hispanic men said Republicans had the better economic policy, by a margin of 17 points. Hispanic women, by contrast, said Democrats had better economic plans, by a 10-point margin.
A majority of Hispanic men said they would like to return to the policies that Mr. Trump pursued as president, while a majority of Hispanic women said they would rather stick with Mr. Biden’s policies.
“You see in this poll that there’s a group of Hispanic men who were without a doubt enticed by Trump and have become more Republican. We have more work to do on that,’’ said Mr. Anzalone, referring to Democratic candidates and their allies.
Mr. Fabrizio said: “This says to me that the economy matters, particularly to Hispanic men. The economy and economic factors are driving them.”
The survey is the first under a new Wall Street Journal Poll that will explore the forces driving American politics and changes in society. The firms of Messrs. Fabrizio and Anzalone will work together on surveys on the political landscape.
The Journal survey included 1,500 registered voters, including 165 Hispanic voters. The margin of error for the Hispanic sample was plus or minus 7.6 percentage points.

Strategists in both parties have been working since the 2020 election to calculate the size of the shift among Hispanic voters to the GOP and to understand its causes. One in-depth study, by Catalist, which compiles and analyzes voter data for Democratic candidates and progressive causes, found that Hispanic voters swung toward Mr. Trump by 8 points compared with 2016 in the two-party vote.
Shifts in some parts of the country were larger. In its analysis of the 2020 electorate, Equis Labs, which studies the Latino electorate, found swings toward the GOP of 20 points in parts of Florida’s Miami-Dade County; of 12 points in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas; and double-digit swings in parts of the Northeast. In South Florida, the shift was big enough to flip two congressional seats to the GOP, the firm concluded.
Analyses by various groups have cited a range of causes for the shift, including higher turnout among the most conservative Hispanic voters, GOP success in persuading voters who turn out infrequently and frustration over job losses due to pandemic-related business shutdowns.
In last month’s election for governor in Virginia, AP VoteCast found that Republican Glenn Youngkin, who won the race, outpolled his Democratic opponent among Hispanic voters.
In the Journal survey, Hispanic voters had a negative outlook on the economy, with 25% saying it was headed in the right direction and 63% saying it was headed in the wrong direction. That 38-point gap compared with a 31-point gap among all voters.
Hispanic voters saw Republicans in Congress as better able than Democrats to handle some economic issues, such as reining in inflation and cutting the federal deficit. They also saw Republicans as best able to secure the border.
The Hispanic voters saw Democrats in Congress as better able to control the Covid-19 pandemic, rebuild infrastructure and make healthcare more affordable.
The results showed Hispanic voters differing little from the overall electorate in their political preferences. Hispanic voters mirrored the overall voter pool, for example, when asked how Mr. Biden was handling his job. Some 42% approved of the president’s job performance and 54% disapproved—in line with the 41% approval and 57% disapproval among the broader voting public.
The Wall Street Journal Poll was conducted by the firms ALG Research and Fabrizio, Lee & Associates, who surveyed a list of known, registered voters, from Nov. 16-22. Half the respondents were interviewed on their cellphones. One quarter were reached by text on their cellphones and completed an internet survey. One quarter of respondents were interviewed by landline phone. The margin of error for the full sample was plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

Thank you Mr. Fabrizio. That comment was so profoundly dumb and obvious I thought it was from a Democratic pollster. The border comment is also unsurprising.

Nah, the pedophilia is from the fans. TLH itself has ties to incest and plausibly furries via a comic series the creator made beforehand.

No joke, I wish Hillary Clinton would have books to read to us. It would be soothing to have her as a voice for e-reading. Like having your grandma read to you as a child.

Oh, I know. I really hoping that we get some advances in battery life soon. Personally I think the big focus on lithium-ion batteries is actively working against advances in electrics since lead-acids don't have nearly the scalability or resource consumption issues li-ion batteries do. Heavier, but a VRLA is cheaper and more durable than a Li-Ion. And I don't believe there's nearly the flammability aspect to them.

So, I wonder what the chances are of biden using his obama ties to help with his 2024 reelection bid. He can start by using an obama themed song in his campaign commercials
