  1. Room is full of pros. My starting table has ONE reg, and he won yesterday’s 6-max. Going to be a slog 50k starting chips, 1 hour levels. As we finish level 2, I have 76.2k, mostly from a flopped top two that I got 3 streets of value with
  2. He's turning it into a presidential run with the No Labels party. Let the 2024 chaos commence
  3. Totally. That’s how it’s done. Best leverage they’ll have all year
  4. Plus it was a good way to find new Follows
  5. I wasted a whole fucking propane tank (20#) forgetting to turn off the grill last night. I’d say “lesson learned” but I’ve done this at least 2-3 times before
  6. They've frequently brought up that the terms of the agreement required DJT to maintain a certain net worth. Presumably if he had to attest to "still" being above the number (or perhaps failing to report that he had fallen under it) at any date inside the limitations, the savings he subsequently experienced on interest rates due to that fraud would be subject to disgorgement.
  7. I'm of the belief that whomever is being polled that is liberal or left leaning independent is answering the poll questions as a means of swinging the hammer and making their point that they want someone other than Joe (predominantly because he's a horrible communicator, imo) and/or that they want their pet position to get more action from the Dems in office. Their tune will change when its a solidified race between Joe and Trump. They're not staying home, and their not voting for Trump or a 3rd party candidate that will spoil a Biden win. In other words, I think the polls are accurate in that they reflect what they're being told, not in that they reflect the actual likely vote to be cast by the respondent.
  8. Your dry cleaner is just hanging your dirty clothes and handing them back to you
  9. Totally. It’s funny that he could have remained in obscurity nationally for decades and yet an unplanned ascension (short lived most likely) to leader will end up ruining him
  10. Tourney was 35ish players, 3 getting a ticket to main event and 4th getting $1100. Down to final table of 9, I started as shortest stack with 22k at 500/1k/1k, but the disparity on the table wasn’t large. One guy had 100k but most of the table was in the 30-50k range so no worries. At 7 handed and blinds of 1k/1.5k/1.5k I had worked my stack up to 50k when I get KQo in HJ. I open to 3500. Old man tourney reg on button makes a hesitant call, BB competes. 13k pot A87 rainbow. BB checks and I cbet 5k. BTN again makes a hesitant call. BB folds. 23k pot 7. I check and BTN pretty quickly checks back. A. I check and he snap throws three 5k chips for 15k bet into 23k pot. Why? What story is he telling? I actually laughed while thinking through this one and finding pretty much 0 non-bluffs he’d do this with. I call and he slams down 66 angry that he got counterfeited I pretty much coasted in from there
  11. Won my satellite on first try
  12. Seriously. She looks terrible
  13. Chugging along myself. 1.5 lbs week is fairly easy compared to 2 lbs so I hardly ever even use the elliptical anymore. Currently bouncing around 196 which is 70lbs off my starting weight 14 months ago. Some sick part of me wants to touch -100 lbs but that may not be wise. I’d guess I only have 15-20lbs of reasonable fat left to lose and hope to get there by Feb/Mar. I bought a Medium Tall golf shirt last week and it fits great. Medium! So bizarre for a guy whose self identity was always the “big guy” in the room. Also comfortably getting into 34” shorts and looking at tapered pants! Good times
  14. We have a fairly active thread on streaming tv options Cord Cutters Thread https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/457-cord-cutters-thread/page/58/#comment-5634760
  15. I don't believe the minority republicans could stop it alone. However, it would be difficult to win the nomination from the caucus in the first place if they knew of your plan to solicit Dem votes. You'd have to be sneaky about it. ETA: and even then you have to deal with the MTV rule that still allows Gates to tank the speakership all over again
  16. It's been discussed by the talking heads a few times that the house republican caucus is leaving it up to the nominee regarding when he wants to take the vote to the floor. Some have wanted to try to find votes first, while others wanted to go right to the floor to force public votes one way or the other.

    HOLY SHIT!! Portnoy returns to DT https://dreamtheater.net/dream-theater-announce-the-return-of-drummer-mike-portnoy/

  19. Getting all aspects of truthful accounts about what happened behind the scenes has quite a bit of value for the country IMO. I know the cult members won’t hear it, or care if they do, but the historical record on this whole circus will need to be studied and understood for generations to come and these pleas will be pretty solid content for that.
  20. Good thing I practiced for it…
  21. Pro tip: to maximize your focus training, hit the range while the Blue Angels practice
