Кремлеботы не дремлют. :)

The Kremlin once went on record to deny Putin fell down some stairs and shit himself.

Sugar's expensive in Ryazan. The Kremlin said so in 1999 and they would never lie.

It was someone else's fault that 145 people died in the Crocus City Hall attack.

    The ford mondeo (I think it was called the fusion in the US) was 'inspired' by the Aston Martin Rapide. This was at a time when Ford owned Aston Martin. Fisker and Porritt, who worked at tesla when the model S came out, also worked for Ford/Aston Martin.

    It's not just me either. For example, here's a ten year old thread on the tesla forum which mentions it:

    Textbook statistics don’t really hold when you have a huge selection bias, as just about any poll does.

    Meh. Often quite accurate, if you read the small print and caveats. It's not 1980. Good pollsters don't just do landline surveys, they correct for demographic factors, and are transparent about flaws and limitations.

    IME the problem is usually how the media reports on said polling.

    You don't need to poll everyone to get relatively accurate polling results.

    I have a related degree, it is possible with the necessary caveats, margins of error and confidence intervals. Statistics is a wonderful thing.

    This being said, I actually read the full 77 page document they linked to, and if I'm not mistaken the 55% comes from a 2021 telephone poll. Obviously phone only polls are likely to be biased, even if you correct for demographic factors like age.

    Then again, inflation is a problem.
