I went to a party today that started at 2pm. I wore sunglasses. as the sun went down, I pulled them back on my head. I'm home now, sunglasses are totally off, but they still feel like they are on my head. MAKE THIS FEELING STOP PLEASE.

ping pong question

actually it's more of a math problem, but it came up while i was playing ping pong earlier.

let's make the following assumptions

- game is played up to 11, win by 2

- each player alternates blocks of 5 serves until a player reaches 11 points. at 10-10, the serve alternates 1 and 1 etc.

- the players are of equal skill and the server has the advantage.


does the first server in the game have an advantage in terms of probability to win? how would that be quantified?

[kiwiMark]

I'm assuming there's no psychological advantage to be had by winning the first 5, etc. etc.?

[Ash256]

Is it ok to do a workout with a hangover if I ensure I stay hydrated? Or am I better taking the day off?

[jyms]

I would assume the first server has the advantage only by way of he will have a chance to recover from a mistake. He gets first point to go ahead and the second server must gain a point to tie. If the first server never falters, the second server could never win but play under the pressure of always either being tied or one down.

By the way, $50 prop to anyone that can beat me 2/3 in Vegas. Anyone know where there are tables.

[Lukie]

I'm assuming there's no psychological advantage to be had by winning the first 5, etc. etc.?

correct, at least in the context of the question. so the server will always have the same chance of winning the point (any number should work as long as it's >50% and <100%), regardless of whether the score is 0-10, 5-5, 10-0, etc.

Just saw Evangeline Lilly on Letterman last night. I've never heard of this chick before but my god. She's hot and actually genuinely super funny. I have a new celebrity crush.

[UG]

I tend to really like girls named Kate in general for some reason, but I've had a crush on her for years now (her name is Kate in Lost). Speaking of Lost, it's sad that it has to end. The wife and I started watching that when we first moved in together, we weren't married or anything....fcking crazy.

game 6 was so predictable that i didn't even go to the bar with my friends to watch it.

one of my friends put a large amount of money on the cavs and i pleaded with him not to. i told him if anything he should be putting his bankroll on boston at -1 to no avail.

never seen a team with championship hopes quit like that in the last 2 games of a series

[flomo]

i didn't read your post

but i guarantee it is awesome

random FB rant

I have an old high school friend (that I haven't spoken to in 8-10 years) that posts 4-5 times daily on FB. oftentimes his girlfriend will post immediately after in a reply, even though she is right there in the same room with him. sometimes they'll have a 3-4 response (each) conversation. it's fucking killing me, but at the same time it's kind of like a weird pimple on someone's face that you just can't stop checking out to see if it's growing or something

[wufwugy]

random FB rant

FB is retarded

[jyms]

<-- has gone form over 300+ friends to under 100 and is thinking of cleaning house some more


I only have FB to keep in touch with several long distance friends and to see what some family and friends are up to. I have no time or patience for so many people. Just deleted one person for saying "like" 3 times in one response and deleted a freind that thinks farmville is all that happens in the world, posting 5 or 6 times a day about barn raises, finding extras and talking to his "neighbors" like they are fucking neighbors.

That's a huge decrease in friends. I was thinking of cleaning house too but I'm worried they will notice being deleted (as some have already) and not want to ever talk to me again. It's not that I don't consider them a friend, it's just that... well... I guess I don't.

[jyms]

Seriously? WTF do I care what some guy I went to high school thinks or what a buddies ex girlfriend is doing on Saturday night. I have a wife, a kid, my extended family and a couple close friends and FTR, that's enough for me.Good people and real friends will make the cut.

[BankItDrew]

But, I'm a loser, and have 12 friends on Facebook.

Im feeling really gay for checking immediately whether or not I got deleted from jyms circle of trust.

[a500lbgorilla]

I think you feel gay because you're German and you're confusing your feelings with this whole jyms thing.

[jyms]

it wasn't a circle of trust as much as it's a circle of annoyance. I really have no time to listen to moaning, griping or bitching, outside of what most people would do on a regular basis. It seems some people just don't get that people don't want to hear it over and over and over. Sure you may be having a rough day, rough week or a fight with your boss, but to update several times a day every day pissing and moaning, or acting like Farmville is the meaning of life is just too much.

I was never so happy as the day facebook allowed you to remove certain apps from showing. I have no idea what games people play anymore because I never see them. <3 the hide button

[boost]

your penny hold them updates are pretty lame/annoying/gay. Just saying.

[jyms]

Do I have penny hold them updates? or FB in general?

people used to tell me, "ha, never get pregnant. once you get pregnant, and then have kids especially, you'll never have sex." I cried, "BULLSHIT, I'm going to FUCK THE SHIT OUT OF MY WIFE, as that's how it's always been, that's how it always will be."

Hookers from Nashville, maybe.
