My end osa days are behind me. I am more Mr. Miyagi than Daniel-san these days. I can still kick some ass from time to time, but the plot revolves around a new generation.
Is there a position for you as a Ceremonial Overlord who stoically oversees the festivities with a gold crown and a long beard and a diamond-studded sceptre?
Sometimes I crush life, sometimes life crushes me.
Yesterday I played in an extremely casual pickup hockey game, the first time I've done so in 20 months since suffering a pretty decent injury that I've kinda semi-recovered from.

that sounds like life-crushing that could lead to crushed-life, if you're not careful. GL!
Random question but does anyone have any connections to China? Specifically when it comes to trading crypto?
Looking to buy crypto inside the PRC which I know is a gray area.
Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 88, Contempt toward officials: "Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct."
Well that one's easy to beat in Jag-officer thing; Hegseth is no longer the Secretary of Defense.
I am. Current plan is summer of 2027, but I might accelerate that, depending on the work environment. For right now, I still love my job and the folks I work with.We're coming out to Utah in a couple of weeks to scout potential retirement locations, and for wife to compete in an Irish dance event. Gonna be a whirlwind tour, but perhaps we can meet up for an adult beverage.
Was prohibition beer ever legal in Utah?
I just read an article on the # of craft breweries down here in AZ, over 100. Someone needs to tell us the boom is already over.
Whelp. I am furloughed until the gubment reopens.
I now get to understand what an unemployed bum feels like. Or what Zoltan feels every day.
Neither of you are wearing pants?
Is that counting the gambool? And if so, as how many jobs?

I am out here slinging 3 jobs just to make ends meet. Someone like “BigSkip” is getting an all expenses paid vacation and essentially wants to complain. 🙄
Well scooter, I didn't ask for this "vacation", and I think it's stupid that an (allegedly) functioning country can't figure out to pass a budget. And I also recognize that some people I work with aren't as lucky as I am and need a paycheck. Not to mention those being forced to work without one.
And as far as your 3 jobs, you know damn well you do that fluffer work for the love of it, not the money.
I'm no crypto bro but why would you need connections to gynah to buy crypto inside PRC? isnt the whole point that it's censorship-resistant and decentralized?

Could play and study chess as a hobby which will help you stay sharp mentally as well.
I saw a guy 4 bet pre, then check raise flop lead big on turn and then jam river for heaps with 52o tonight.
Flop J93 A 4
approx 700bb pot
I play with a guy who had literally 15 minutes of poker fame back in the day, I think the 2014 WSOP IIRC ("I like the ladies! Lady lady!"). Anyoo. Last session out, he joins my 1/3 NL table and in a span of 1.5 hours runs hotter than I've ever seen anyone run ever, and he ships about half of what I've grinded out all year.
Funny, all session long in his broken affable English he is telling the table how he gets his arm workout exercise by raking in large pots. Soon after he set-over-sets someone for heaps, hands me his iPhone, and gets me to film him raking in the pot so he can send it to his wife. I also tell him to flex his muscles but he misunderstands and instead he sorta does this ~King Kong thing, which was pretty funny.

Skip,
Weren't you close to retirement? Maybe you have "**** you" money?
Starting to think there’s a deck mechanic at my local casino.
UTG raises (OMC)
MP 3 bets
SB 4 bets
BB 5 bet jams
UTG folds
MP tank folds
SB calls
board runs out QJ642 no flush
UTG had JJ
MP had QQ
SB shows AA
BB shows KK
Seen 3 premiums go to war a few times before. But never all 4. Wild hand.
I've only seen AA vs KK vs QQ vs JJ once in all my 1/3 NL hours, and lol everyone got it all in preflop (my memory sucks, I'm guessing some of the lesser hands had small stacks / were the unfortunate aggressors into better).
Craziest hand I saw in my 2/4 Limit days was AA vs KK vs QQ vs JJ vs 88. IIRC, I was the one that capped the betting prefop with my JJ (lol @ me), then flopped a J high flop (!lol @ me), and QQ somehow folded the flop.
