My grandad flew bombers in WWII. Our good friend Sir Garick wrote and published an article from a diary of his. It's great.

Did you know that the US Air Force in the Pacific gave birth to numerous cargo cults? As in, a plane would drop a chute with supplies by accident in some random island in which a remote tribe lived and that was such a huge event for them that they would start elaborate rituals in order to make the gods drop more cargo from the skies.
In software engineering, there is a phrase that originates from this event. When someone is "cargo cult"-ing, they've copied code that they don't understand.

You know that term is taboo for being un-woke?

In law we call that "Tuesday."
One benefit of being carless is swapping the scenery of globogym for the local park. I got back to the old covid-era pullup-branch and somehow did a set of 10 reps! And only the last two needed institutionalize-him levels of twitching.
Once you start living in a van you’ll need the globogym for showers

Do you only go there when children aren't present or is that tree more than 500' from the playground?
Went to the caseeeno last night and seent the most mystical creature in all the land. VPIP 100% limp on an avg stack of $50 man. Dude somehow did this for however long before I got there, and 2 hours or so after. Every time he’d get to about $20-$30 he’d double up. He did this in a 2-2 with $4min bring in w/ optional kill game. It was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed at a poker table.

I wasn’t sure if this was a SABR move or not, because in the moment it felt like it was.. I was even thinking about buying a sports car afterwards…. Like a ‘83 Transam or something.
Figured I’d post and get everyones opinion. Am I pretty much the SABR of low stakes?
wtf is a kill game? i've seen it bandied about for plo but never holdem

I had a '78. Seemed like it had a ball joint fail every year or so. Not sure if that was a me thing or standard. Doors wouldn't shut worth a **** either due to weight. Keep winning, get a Tesla.
It’s the stupidest thing ever. All it does is confuse everyone. 2-2, $4 bring in. Anyone can put the kill button on which is basically a $4 straddle and the bring in becomes $8.
Just make it 1/3 ffs.

Let me first pay off this new Tundra I just bought, and then I’ll buy the T…. trans am.
I once had a 67 Camaro. It was pretty sweet when the block cracked.

Just listened to a Bart Hanson podcast and he described a hand almost exactly like this. Well played.
Pulled off easily the dumbest bluff of my career on Friday night:
$320 effective. Overlimp in CO in a $4 straddle pot with 43cc. 2 calls. Straddle raises to 25. Two folds. I re-raise to 75. He calls. Flop A85r with a club. He checks. I bet 30. He raises to 105. I reraise to 205 and he folds.

Played like a true Brazilian.
They still haven't found your car? Bummer, man. Chances going up that it went to a chop shop instead of on a joyride.
"Using Police investigative resources, spy cameras a search of the license plate resulted in the vehicle traveling southbound on Mill
Ave towards Mexico? in Tempe at 0756 hours.
I never believed the joyride theory because they went into a parking lot with 100 cars cooler than the Hyundai and picked out mine.
Next post will be on why I hate all insurance adjusters and car salesmen.

My insurance co mostly paid for three days of car rental. Enterprise said they only had a red Dodge Challenger. Weirdest fit ever. It is odd because every car thinks I am trying to pass him, and then 30 seconds later they just pass me.

I mean, joyriders steal the cars that are easiest to steal, not the coolest ones. Unfortunately, so do some low-level pros.
