Chinese EVs take the world by storm — except in the United States in c/news@lemmy.world

I really hope the slate works. A no nonsense EV (or really any car) is so appealing. I just worry that it's cost will end up pushing people away. They were really banking on the EV tax credits to bring the "price" down

    Does the increase in early/mail-in voting make exit polls less accurate? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

    I don't so much mean weird situations, but perhaps just the demographics get skewed. Now that I think about it, I perhaps have a dumber question:

    What the hell are exit polls are how are they conducted? The name implies they're conducting with folks leaving the polls, but if they're voting at home then how are they polled? This could also just simply boil down to why do we trust polls so much anyways

    I gotta say, I fucking hate doing dishes. I'm not sure what it is about it, but I just have this almost irrational dislike for washing dishes (especially pots+ pans). Sure, I'll do it when it needs to be done, but my God do I dread it. Is there something wrong with me? Oh absolutely, but there's plenty else to fix before the dishes issue lol

    Does the increase in early/mail-in voting make exit polls less accurate? (lemmy.world)
     

    With the post election analysis going on right now, there seems to be a ton of weight being put behind exit polling (so and so got x% of women voters, etc) to the point where they just are presented as fact. As early voting and mail-in voting increases around the country, aren't those exit polls getting more and more unreliable? I don't see that discussion happening anywhere and perhaps I have a misunderstanding of what an exit poll even is. I've never been polled in any way after voting myself and as I understand it polling is already not as reliable as they're presented. So should we put as much trust into these exit polls?

    I believe that he does, and he knows shit will cost more, but he ALSO knows that his followers have no clue whatsoever. So prices will increase, and he'll blame it on one of their many "others". Keeping them scared and mad is the key to their control over them
