This is like a heist movie but instead of a crew of lovable misfits with surprising levels of competence, it’s a bunch of different crews of unlovable lanyards trying to pull off different heists on the same night at the same casino and screwing everything up

:drat:

predictit, a "prediction market" bookmaker masquerading as a securities exchange that trades "Yes" or "No" contracts for various political events that cash out for $1 and $0 when the thing happens or doesn't.

When Iowa slow rolled the partial results that showed Pete winning, "Bernie yes" and "Pete No" both cratered and I was able to buy the maximum amount for $.25, then sold them this morning at $.65 when Bernie was winning again.

They take a 10% vig and further 5% when you actually withdraw the funds but poo poo when a casino is still taking bets two days after the wheel already stopped on red you don't ask questions

https://www.thedailybeast.com/derek-mackay-scotlands-finance-secretary-quits-over-predatory-texts-to-16-year-old-schoolboy


quote:

Mackay, one of the most recognizable lawmakers from the pro-independence Scottish National Party, has admitted he “behaved foolishly” and has submitted his resignation to First Minister and party leader Nicola Sturgeon. He was left with no other option after the Scottish Sun exposed screens of text messages, including one telling the unnamed boy he was “really cute” and inviting him to dinner and a rugby match with him.

The transcripts show Mackay repeatedly messaged the boy on a number of platforms for six months, despite some responses from the teenager in which he clearly expressed his discomfort. Mackay reportedly contacted the boy after having had no prior contact, and kept messaging him even after the teen revealed he was just 16 and told Mackay not to “try anything.”

In the most damning part of the transcript, Mackay asked the boy, “And our chats are between us?” before following up with: “Cool, to be honest I think you are really cute,” then encouraging him to delete the message.

In all, Mackay sent 270 messages to the schoolboy. The lawmaker complimented the boy’s haircut, informed him of his sexuality, and invited the kid to be his guest at an official parliamentary rugby event. Mackay also messaged the boy on Christmas Day, sending a number of messages, including one just before midnight that said: “u still up?”

I started out with Warren because she was diet Bernie, as in I thought her policies would be more palatable to the general public. Then she started walking back her policies, like "we'll do m4a in my third year, pinky swear" and I realized how stupid that line of thought is. Bernie or Bust.

As someone who grew up with Hoosiers that only used salt and pepper for seasoning and ketchup or melted butter as “sauce,” it’s definitely something you quickly move beyond the blandness if you aren’t a hermit.

Ketchup is a fine ingredient to superior sauces, marinades, etc. It is not a great standalone condiment.

I think this specific version is chopped up on the grill like a cheesestake and is legitimately a NYC bodega thing, but I might be getting it mixed up with some other NYC hipster microtrend.

Yes.

If you're eating at a pizza or bagel place in a large-ish city that's not NYC you're almost certain to hear someone each day say "Well this isn't really real X like in New York"


Same rule applies to burritos and anyone from California. Living in Texas and hearing hipsters at length discuss how the burritos (made by like 4th gen texas hispanics) wasn't authentic or some poo poo.

As a Californian married to a Texan, the Mexican cuisines are absolutely different and there's nothing wrong with that. Same with BBQ styles... you can have a favorite without making GBS threads all over a different culinary tradition. I mean I love brisket and sausage but I will not ever turn down a pork BBQ sandwich with collards after living in VA
