Stupid Pet Peeves

Dude, it might have been a silver dollar.

I did find a rock when I was digging a fence post last year that is either a fossilized animal skull with teeth or a rock. I keep meaning to run up to the museum of natural history to ask somebody about it but you know it's probably just a rock.

That it's legal to gamble on fantasy sports online in the U.S. but I can't play poker online.

Just got an email from pokerstars (my preferred online poker site) who had to close down all their U.S. based real money accounts. They are launching a fantasy sports site in the U.S..

I don't want fantasy sports betting to be illegal, I just want to be able to play my stupid $5 sit-and-goes again.

Are you not paranoid that all online poker is super rigged?

No, not at all. There are hand histories of billions of hands, if there was statistical anomalies it wouldn't be hard to find. There have been allegations that online poker sites create more "action" hands to encourage bigger bets, but still, I don't think that's true. There are a lot of people who play professionally online. These folks would be the first to blow the lid off any kind of rigging.

There just isn't a whole lot of motivation to rig, anyway. Poker is a game where players play against one another and the house just takes a rake. The house doesn't care who wins, just that people play.

All that and at the end of the day I'm really talking about playing in a single table $5 buy-in tournament where winning means I get like $22 bucks and losing means I'm out $5. It's a form of entertainment, not something I do to make money.

You dont think there are paid players in the game who work for the company?

I don't. There could be, sure, but pokerstars in particular has a very good reputation and has hosted I think somewhere int eh hundreds of billions of hands. They are getting theirs. Having shills or rigging games would be the fasted way to ruin that cash cow for them.

Two lane road going into a roundabout and a bunch of cyclists are in the left? Is that really what I'm seeing, or is there some other explanation I don't understand. It almost seems like there must be because of the numbers. How does everyone forget the rules at the same time?

As cyclists they should know that many automobile drivers dislike them in the first place. It's asking for trouble to do something like this. I'm a huge cycling advocate, but I definitely don't advocate stupidity.

These were not avid cyclists, to be fair. Seemed to be a group of tourists on rented bikes.
I appreciate cyclists, really, but there's just a huge % (seems like maybe 1 out of 5 or so) that just come off like the road is theirs with ZERO respect for through traffic. Those types piss me off because they are the ones that do it completely consciously. You should write a book on it. It would be a bestseller to non-cyclists (a self-deprecating comedy). Lol
