I'm sorry but I have an instant dislike for anyone who gets massages at the poker table from floozies. Jungle is guilty of this. | |

My favourite line is Jungleman in his evil villain voice, something like "Ok Mr. Falcons, you make me sick with all of your doing the right thing and being nice to everybody. It's time to bluff you now." | |

I'm mostly jealous I can't afford to get floozy massages. Other than that, I have no problem with it. He can get a blowjob at the table for all I care. | |

Helmuth is a special egg. He's actually amazing at the kinds of poker he plays. His record does speak for itself as to his skill. | |

I'm with you on the eating. Not bothered about the massage. The odd time I've played live for hours on consecutive days, I definitely could have done with a massage. | |

Class act and somebody that figured out a ton of things before anybody else. Super System changed the way people played the game amd still able to compete to ahigh standard in his eighties. I'd love to watch a documentary about his life. | |

So my energy company seems to be using RNG to decide when to send me my bills. Sometimes it's after 3 months (the usual, what you'd expect), sometimes longer like 4-5 months, sometimes closer to 2 months, but I always just figured ok, whatever. | |

Sounds like you are with NPower, British Gas or EON. In any case, it should be obvious from your bill what period and usage you are paying for. Normally when you get a bill for a few days, it's to reflect an actual meter reading. Easiest way to have all of that taken care of is to install a smart meter. | |

BG is notoriously terrible at data and IT. I've twice called them when moving into a new place and been told the account isn't with them, despite there being several bill reminders from them in the mailbox. | |

Shout out to Monkey for sending me an ornament of the St Louis arch. I like it a lot and it led to a good conversation with Mrs Bean about the famous court cases related to US civil rights. Thank you very much! | |

The phrase was perfect but also saving like 10p or whatever to delay postage by a day is a very British thing to do. First class is for when you've left it until the last minute to send a birthday card or your passport application, everything else is second class. | |

In this day and age it's probably a hate crime to kick the shit out of a flasher. While it's very much illegal to expose yourself in public, naturists and nudists do so all the time without consequence. The difference of course is to those people it's a way of life, while the flasher is deliberately trying to provoke a reaction. It's difficult for law to distinguish between the two. | |

btw it's grey and cooler now. I just had to close my window, and it's June tomorrow. That window, once I open it for summer it's usually open until late September. So yeah, good timing. | |

That takes guts to rent a car for the whole trip and drive around the country like that. I was pretty discombobulated the first time I drove here. Roundabouts were complete mindfucks. I'd have to stop at the entrance and think 'ok, who am I yielding to, where do I get off, and how am I gonna do that' before I went in just about every time until I got used to them. | |

Yeah it can't be easy at all. I don't drive but being in France last year there were multiple times I just glanced the wrong way when going to cross a busy intersection, each time I stopped and checked the other way but it was completely unnatural to me. Even if you can flip your mind so you're getting the roads right, remembering that you've got three quarters of a car to your left is still another unnatural thing to have to do. It's not so much that it's a lot to remember, it's more that it takes that split second to remember. It shows how crucial a split second can be when driving. We tickled a bush or two for sure, it's probably down to mojo's good driving rather than sheer luck that we didn't hit a wall or parked car. | |

btw I'd have been a great deal more terrified if I were driving. It was just the occasional moment and it was always getting out of someone's way, a split second decision that requires the conscious mind to overrule the subconscious in order to remember there's much more car on your left than you're used to. | |

Friend of mine came back to the UK from the Middle East a few months back and drove me to the North. I was shit up quite a few times as he drove very close to the left in the middle lane of the motorway. I've had Americans tell me I do the reverse when driving on the right in the US. | |

Your friend is rare for a taxi driver. It would have been an easy 150 quid for any of the taxi drivers sat around doing nothing on Weds (if they just had a child seat). It's pretty standard in Europe for taxis to have a child seat. | |

I've made quite a lot from SkyPoker over the years but it's not easy to get a roll going because it's so wild that variance is huge. It seems to attract British gamblers though, which is great. British people on average are pretty terrible at poker, especially those who bet on football. | |

I'm going to Chicago Cubs against St Louis Cardinals in London on Saturday. Apparently there will be Chicago- and St Louis-style food available. @Monkey - what is that likely to be please? Just figuring out if I should eat that or get some street food somewhere else | |

They're saying warmest June on record for UK, which really doesn't do much to quell my skepticism. It's been nice but record breaking? Really? That seemed like a slightly above average June to me. And that comes off the back of a cool spring, so it should feel warmer than it is. It's also pretty fresh out there right now, certainly not high summer. | |

Also the idea that the nights are so much warmer than average as to make the day/night average record breaking is weird, seeing as I've had my window closed most of the month. Usually I open it in May and leave it open until September. Not this year. | |

It is worth noting that not all averages are equal. There are many different ways to get an "average" and they can be wildly different from one another. One way to get a really bad average is the way I described... take ten urban measurements for one rural measurement and take the mean. If the urban measurement is the lowest of them all, then this really is stretching what we understand when we think of an "average". Most people assume the mean is the "best" average but that isn't necessarily the case. | |

My point is, they just say "average" and everyone thinks that we're talking about directly comparable values. We're not. | |

There's no simple way to measure the averages, and no single party doing the measurements. For the UK there's the Met Office, but also NASA, NOAA and I'm sure a bunch of others using their own measuring stations and methods. All of these tend to align nicely. I' m sure all of them even say exactly where the measurements are made, by whst methods and how the averages are calculated. But I admit googling those'd be far less fun than assuming global conspiracies. | |

The problem you seem to have poop is that "science" is basically an authority to you. Science can be wrong, and the data can be massaged by those who have an agenda, without a single scientist ever doing anything willfully deceptive. So science is not an authority. Mathematics is an authority. You can present maths to stupid people in an attempt to massage the data, but it's like computer code, the information is there. Science isn't code. Science is attempting to understand the code. | |

Oh and hydro is hugely problematic and not a solution I see as viable, not for the planet in general. Not only is the terraforming a problem, with the potential for dam breaches (deliberate or accidental), but it's a geopolitical issue too. Egypt and Ethiopia will likely soon go to war over the latter's hydro projects that is affecting agriculture in Egypt. China have numerous dams on rivers that flow into other countries, giving them massive geopolitical leverage. | |

What's annoying about this is that instead of going to the trouble of finding out even some portion of the truth yourself, you're just taking the lazy option of being a "skeptic", remaining agnostic, and expecting us to respect that as an equally credible position to people who've spent a lifetime researching the topic. | |
