I’m misty-eyed with nostalgic reverie. Last night I bleached my groceries for old time’s sake.

2/ Before the update, users only got to see snow totals for areas that had an observation report in the last 48 hours from a specific location provided in the NWS' public information statements. Now, they can see broad area coverage of snowfall in addition to those reports.

Man, I don't know, but I think you've just about got to the point of the original post. Lower turnout hurt Harris.

It was a fun journey. Glad we got there together. Like they say, it's not about the destination, it's about the friends you make along the way.

Let me hold your hand through it then. The differences in bar heights isn't as exaggerated, because you're showing all the votes. Try drawing a straight line from 2012 through 2024 again, and see how that works out when you make a genuine effort to do it correctly.

Or, go kick rocks. I don't care.

There is a huge contextual purpose in making the bars accurate representation of their true value: gprivate.com/6e9gn

And using your graph to paint a picture using old numbers paints a misleading picture. 80+ million votes was an anomaly. So was holding an election in the middle of a pandemic.
