I don’t know, man. I think that’s a fairly room-dependent thing. The casino I generally play in (Foxwoods) does a pretty good job of keeping things under control. I think Black Friday was the main driver in the decline of poker in America. The large crowds in live poker rooms were fed by people trying poker out…

Can you imagine a male athletes having to make the case for, say, baseball, like this, over and over again?

See, when people do that with me, they say something like “Oh wait, I think I have 37 cents here” in a tone like they’re trying to save me the trouble of digging out 63 cents in change.

The people who just don’t like carrying coins tend to not worry about getting exact change, they just try to minimize the coins they…

I meant what I wrote and the “him” in question should be obvious. I would clarify it further but that would ruin the fun I’m having reading the “hot taek” replies.

A thing I don’t like as a customer:

No, my boss hates you too.

That depends. There have been many times I’ve paid with a card even though I had plenty of cash to pay for the purchase. Yep, there are three singles sticking out of my wallet, along with the obvious presence of other bills to pay for that $4 purchase. Problem is that the next smallest bill beyond the first $3 is a…

These stories always just make me chuckle. As someone who has worked multiple service industry jobs in my lifetime, most of these complaints seem utterly ridiculous to me. Most of the one’s listed don’t even sound like line employees complaints rather than managers complaints. Breaking big bills? If I was working the…

Yeah I feel like whether it’s a big deal really depends on the store. Like if you’re at a local flea market or something I’m always understanding to the fact that if this person doesn’t have any change for the rest of the day they’d be fucked. Especially if they don’t have a convenient way to go get more change.

But…

This seems like one of those ideas that someone pitched to the Mayor as a splashy policy that would generate a lot of “tough love” good publicity, but lord will it have massive amounts of unforeseen (or completely foreseeable from some peoples’ points of view) consequences. For instance; disabled children won’t get a…

Yeah, I just posted a comment with a link to some code where I modeled a shootout. I concede that the math doesn’t change, assuming that each shot is a discrete event, and the kicker performs the same regardless of context. Whether that’s accurate or not is a lot harder of a problem to figure out.

“It IS however possible he’ll NEVER take his kick if he goes last.

looks like the original article spells it out more clearly that “the rule has more exceptions than adherents, that words containing ‘cie’ actually outnumber those containing ‘cei’, rendering the latter half of the rule useless.” But a commenter notes that “you’re better off with ‘cei’ in actually ambiguous…

Write an article only citing part of the rhyme. Post stats about i before e following different letters per the first part of the rhyme. Make no mention of how many of those sound like A as per the rest of the rhyme, making it a completely pointless exercise.

The rule, as I learned it, is”

So assuming most people work a 9-5, the pre noon lunch seems crazy to me. You’re eating two and a half hours into an eight hour day?

Leaving out situations where you may have to get early or late lunch because of circumstance, what is the standard lunch time?

Clitheroe?

Maybe Hart never made it in the game at a professional level because of his decision-making on the pitch.
