Gamblers split tens

I listened to two Lex Fridman Podcasts with Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, two chess grandmasters. These are 2 humans who are the elite of their game and you'd think there'd be some sort of secret sauce to why they are so good, but there wasn't. Magnus made...

I've been to casinos in AC, Vegas, Poconos, London, and ones on Indian Reservations. Casinos are outlets for guests to have fun drinking and gambling. They should not be where regulars try to make a fortune. Unfortunately, people who convince themselves that gambling...

I spent yesterday driving up 95 and visiting roofing distributors to try to sell them tools. This will be the 18th year I've done this. Pre Google Maps days, when my dad and I would do them together, JC would remember the route he took when he did his sales trips in...

I'm intrigued by small towns. Punxsutawney has a population of 5,962 and calls itself the "Weather Capital of the World." Every year 10,000 to 20,000 people gather and witness Punxsutawney Phil making his winter weather prediction. When this many people gather in a...

Our 3rd place team rolled in a bowling position round (the final week of the league where you play the team closest to you in the standings to make it more likely you move up or down) last Tuesday night. We had won our 1st game, and were crushing again in the second,...

What a weekend! I'm up a cool $2,400 since the Morikawa-Buckley breakdown and another $1,200 on DFS for the month. I did lose 1k on the 1st of this month so it's not as good as it seems, but so far so good in the playoffs. Let's give a shoutout to Ja'Marr Chase for...

Capitalism is great because it rewards hard work. I am a big beneficiary of this! But not because I work super hard. Mostly I've been rewarded due to the hard work that my family did generations before me. I think of it as - I grew up in a can't-lose situation. If you...
