I run jellyfin on my desktop rather than a dedicated HTPC. I’m sure it doesn’t matter, but I don’t want my computer to be doing jellyfin scheduled tasks when I’m doing something important. While if I’m watching something, my computer’s not going to be doing anything other than serving me the content, which seems like an ideal time to do housekeeping

Hostels check your ID when you check in. If the receptionist wants to check that your ID matches your face before you get a room key, you don’t have a choice. I suspect the “flirting” is NYPD bullshit

Yanukovych fled because people started raiding armories and shooting at Berkut. In Egypt the army sided with the protestors. Don’t know Tunisia and Algeria off the dome but I doubt there was no violence or threat of imminent violence

Dollars to donuts she was on her phone. It’s not an unfortunate accident, it’s manslaughter

Sounds like you’re thinking of 538’s election needle, not polling data. If a candidate has 60% of the votes in a poll, assuming the poll is accurate, they win 100% of the time. The standard deviation on a population this big is practically 0
