My wife (a retired coder) and I are gritting our teeth with anxiety as we await the result of this election.
She has been distracting herself by creating a spreadsheet of all of the polling and early voting data in a spreadsheet so that she can make her own estimates of how the election is going so far. It doesn’t matter how close she gets to the actual results, it is the activity that matters.
She calls it “therapeutic math”.
I love her so much.
35 years in commercial R&D and therefore obviously biased.
