    Nebraska will be 10 years after that. Gambling is a joke. They have powerball, keno, scratch tickets, video machines, etc. but become high and mighty towards card games that actually gives players a chance.  

    The first casino opens in two weeks in Nebraska.  It's a Harrah's in Columbus.  Omaha has one opening in the fall.

  2. Driven down by META earnings.  It's fucking stupid.  They beat expectations.  Said hey we gotta spend a lot of money to build this AI thing so it can make us a lot of money.  Investors freak out and dumped.  Fucking 12K haircut on that news

    The only countries that play by the "rules of the game" are USA, UK, France, Germany and to a degree USSR.  

    Do you remember the '72 Olympics in Munich?  Black September kidnapped Israeli athletes from the Olympic Village and things went south.  What was Israel's response?  They sent the Mossad after the Black September members and killed them to send a message...'you don't play by the rules and neither do we".

    Remember the Vietnam War?  The US played by the rules but the enemy did not and we pretty much got our asses kicked. 

    What do you think would happen to Israel in the Middle East if they "played by the rules" while Iran and everyone else played their own game?

     

    We(the US) definitely do not play by the rules.  We make up the rules as we go.  Or we pay someone else to not play by the rules and look the other way.  We are dirty as fuck

    Yes, it is a problem that has to be solved by the West. You shouldn't have to intercept $3,0000 drones with $1M missiles.

    It's easy.  You strap explosives to a True Believing America and have him run at the drone factory

    I bet he takes a break for a year or so.

    Yeah.  During a press conference they asked about his chemo with leukemia and he said it's an every day thing.  I think he is gonna go back to part time for a bit.  

  6. Bibi has gone Putin.  It's about his legacy.  The October 7th attack which I still have some questions about how they carried it off.  He knows the rest of the world especially the United States isn't going to do shit when "the red line" gets crossed so he is doing whatever he wants.  The bombing may have been accidental it may not be, but it has achieved his goal.  I don't know if his main objective is to starve the Palestinian people, but rather to starve Hamas.  If it means that keeping 240 tons of food from the Palestinians just to ensure Hamas doesn't get an ounce, I think he is willing to do that.

    Spell out your comparison. Are you comparing Ambassador Stevens to the Iranian RG commander?

    We ran CIA missions out of Benghazi.  Ambassador Stevens is not the comparison to the RG commander but those CIA dudes probably did just as crazy shit as the RG commander.

    I think melding is optimal, but you need to have some bias built in to favor a failure one way or another. 
     

    If you’re selling underwear or smart TVs or refrigerators— sure, I am fine with the MBA guys winning. If you cheap out too much and build crap, then the market can punish you. 
     

    If you’re building airliners, or chemical factories, or nuclear reactors then I’m sorry.  The engineers need to win over the MBAs.  There has to be some balance and optimizing but if it comes to a fundamental disagreement, the engineers need to win.  It’s more important for the product to succeed than the company. 

    That was the scariest part about working in oil and gas.  You would get a phone call from the "business unit" and you're thinking to yourself.  What the fuck?  These guys can't be serious.  Then you find out they are.  You ask the engineers and they say yeah we've tried.  The business unit knows how to operate a refinery better than we do.   And then the plant trips and the business unit calls and says hey how fast can we get this bitch back up again

    I've seen Orkas playing in the bow wake of our ship like dolphins when I was in the Aleutians. Except they ain't dolphins!

    The coolest thing on a submarine was doing a surface transit when the sun is setting.  The dolphins and the orcas would follow along doing fish shit
