  making a small profit

  Right, this is what people always gloss over to just say that eventually the bet will be too big to sustain. Even if you win repeatedly, the bets you make after 3 or 4 losses are vast in comparison the amount you’ll ‘gain’ per win. For the doubling (Martingale strategy), if your bet starts at $1, and you win $2 off of that, it doesn’t matter how much you are eventually betting, you’ll only make $1 for the whole cycle.

  The tripling helps for the profit angle, somewhat. I ran the numbers for total amount of times betting before a win for net win. I wish the formatting let me make tables, but oh well.

  Total Times Bet(bet amount): total of bet: net winning: 1 (1) 1 1 2 (3) 4 2 3 (9) 13 5 4 (27) 40 16 5 (81) 121 41 6 (243) 364 122 7 (729) 1093 365 8 (2187) 3280 1094 9 (6561) 9841 3281 10 (19683) 29524 9842

  I don’t know, mate. I think shoving children out of the way as a fully grown adult is a little bit more than “mildly annoying.” One of the standards I have for someone to be ‘mature’ is being able to control themselves when appropriate. Your glee to see a mickey is not an appropriate time to physically assault children.

  As my boss said in one of those stupid floor meetings we always had to have, “if they have [the competitor’s] card in their wallet, and not ours, who do you think they’re going to?” God, I got sick of asking folks to sign up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't I bruise?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t answer about why you wouldn’t normally bruise, but when people drink alcohol, the skin becomes flushed. This is because one of alcohol’s effects is to open the arterioles that feed capillary beds. It’s also why it’s not a good idea to drink alcohol to warm yourself; you’ll feel warmer because your skin is flushed (the same reason why inflammation tends to feel hot), but you’ll be losing heat more quickly in contact with cold environments. Your typical bruise comes from the capillary beds being damaged, thus if you are drinking and have more blood in your capillary beds, you’ll be more likely to bruise.

  You might just have pretty efficient arterioles that close off the capillary beds. You might also have very osmotic interstitial fluid, which means your cells are at the same osmolarity, and would tend to ‘suck up’ the blood that would be otherwise ‘lost’ (as in, out of place in the area it’s in) and distribute its contents.

  Night shift IS easy…

  as long as your job doesn’t have stupid requirements like switching back and forth between the day and night shift every other week, month, or on whatever-the-fuck that plant schedule is with 7/1/7/7/1/1 or its variations. And as long as there isn’t some stupid requirement like having to brief a day dude on something around 1100 hours when you already worked that night, and have to work that night. AND as long as you aren’t understaffed, so you get mandatory overtime in the middle of your off days, oh totally preserves your off time so you’re not working back to back but it totally fucks up your sleep schedule right in the worst time. AND AS LONG AS your bosses aren’t complete fools who can’t understand basic written sentences so they call you as you start to go into that phase IV deep sleep just so you can explain the same thing to them in spoken language…

  fuck night shift.

  It just goes to show ya that you don’t need your router when you’re stealing the neighbor’s wifi.

  Hmm, I think the beans need to have some canned fish in there as well. It’s the only way to complement the flavor in all its subtleties.
