Work: I have a job. I do financial planning and analysis for an airline service company with operations at 19 major airports nationwide. It's a lot of spreadsheets followed by translating spreadsheets into english for everybody else's benefit. Everyone I work with is overwhelmed and intimidated by MS Excel. They think what I do is difficult, complicated, and time consuming. It isn't. Not even close. |

If you want a rematch spoon I'd be well down with that. You gave me a good game, iirc you opened better than me but I outplayed you in the middlegame, I don't doubt you're capable of beating me, especially if you can get to 1900 standard (that's my gameknot rating). | |

I oversee security, business continuity and risk management for a gov agency. Other than that I work out, drink beer and try to travel as much as possible (hit country #50 last year). Divorced, dating, no kids. I was already old when I joined ftr, so I'm like really ancient now, but I don't look it, which is a plus. I also occasionally shitpost in the commune when I'm not busy pretending to have a life. | |

I'm working as a contractor for a civil engineering company. We recently dropped some high level clients so we could re-allocate resources to build spoon's bitches a sandwich. | |

Did the Valentine's Day thing early last night since we'll be pretty busy through the middle of this week. I did the wrapping myself (insert gay comments here). I got the girls a card, some chocolate they like and a Lego set apiece. | |

Is anyone else looking at these Lego pics and going "what the fuck?" |

I went through that decades ago. Lego released a 2-piece motorcycle in the late 90's that signaled the beginning of the end for them. | |

You do realise you can improvise with these lego sets, don't you? Just because it has exactly the correct amount of bricks for a motorbike, doesn't mean you can't make a space ship with it. | |

I'm not sure if this is the same one, since I have no idea where the family Lego cart ended up, but it looks about like my memory. | |

Wow. My brother kept that one in great condition until my nieces got a hold of it. They played with it for probably a day then ruined it like normal I'm sure. |

Had my first week at my new job. Working for my first cousin once removed (mom's cousin). Roofing company. The office is on my great great grandfather's old property, so that's neat. He was one of the first settlers in this region, used to own like half the land in what is now several cities area. |

Yeah. A few months ago, he turned back up, and jyms, who hasn't posted here for two years or so, appeared out of nowhere just to give him the boot, then disappeared again. Fucking legend. | |

I saw that. Dayum harsh; dman is a good kid. Or, I guess he was a good kid and now who knows what kind of man he is.. I was probably among the first 500 FTR members. Only people from my era that seem to still be active are spoon, wufwugy, and a500lbgorilla .. My claim to fame was that I pulverized the first FTR Gauntlet tournament despite being not-terribly-good at poker. Still have the slick glass trophy in a case behind me. | |

It's neat to see that all the coursework I did with math is showing some payoff. I'm implementing/designing an estimating/accounting system for my job, which involves doing some math I wouldn't have been able to figure out except with years of doing math. It's not so much that the math is hard (it's not), but that it's the familiarity with the type of concepts and situations that allows for me to troubleshoot with confidence. |

You want pointlessly incredible, check out Graham's Number. | |

Graham's Number is so big, there isn't enough room in the observable universe to write the number down. And that assumes one digit can be written down in a Plank volume. In fact, there's not even enough room to write down the number that tells us how many digits it has. And you can say that at least another 60 times before you might have enough room to finally write something down. | |

Does anyone here still play live poker? I mean not in a friendly home game, but a professionally run no-limit cash game? |

I should probably do that. I have too much free time. Live poker could be a productive solution to that. |

There is always money in poker it's just that the amount of work required now just isn't worth it if you're starting off. Put 3 years effort into getting a good degree and your life prospects are infinitely better. |
