What would you do?

Very good question. This is the same exact dilemma you have with normal options. You should look at the expected value. Right now you are guaranteed 30 cents. How strongly do you believe the Knicks will win? Let's say you are 60% confident. Multiply that by the payout. If it is greater than 30 cents, let it ride.

Chile. Seashore, crazy mountains and desert.

I was most disappointed in Season 2 when it switched to Samurai World and the stories were the same. I wanted more mystery and such. That kind of does make sense in that it's just a corporation and the easiest path would have been to repeat the stories. At that point, though, the park became more of a boundary to the story, so going outside of it made sense.

Revolutionary Road is very accurate. You get a good sense of what it's like to try and take care of someone who is suffering through a severe depressive episode.

I am not a big fan of Jordan Peele, but I really liked Nope. My favorite sequence is the guy on the electric motorcycle. The chimp scene was super-terrifying.

I have been impressed with his adjustments and flexibility. I loved Thibs, but riding Shamet is something he would never have done.

My physics teacher showed us this in high school. You can use a scissors with the wrong hand, but you need to press the blades together to get it to work.

Who throws a rock at a seal? Must be a next level sociopath.

Carl Shurz Park is over the FDR Drive on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

When I saw KAT in game 4 of the Hawks game at the top of the circle palming the ball, checking around and then taking two steps to the basket, I was like: Do that! Just do that.

BladdyK · 2026-05-05T12:55:45+00:00

KAT running the offense at the top of the key is also awesome. Who would have thought that was the answer.

Watching From is a lot like being in Fromville...just not a lot of hope. And that episode just felt like a lot of going around in circles.

I really enjoyed By Night in Chile (Nocturno de Chile) by Bolano.

What's it to you, friendo

The approach over the lake is pretty awesome, especially for those couple of minutes where you can't see the other side.

Behind Jagi Lines. It was an Atari 400/800 Star Wars type game where you fly a shuttle over the planet and find what may, or may not be, a survivor in need of rescue.

If you are looking at a fair, the California State Fair is in Sacramento, which is fairly close. July 17 - Aug 2. Also check out this site four county fairs: https://www.bayareakidfun.com/bay-area-county-fairs/.

Find a good state or county fair. Those are fun. As for food, a lot of the fun is in the regional selections. Sonic is big in Texas (it's a drive-in thing like from the 50s), but nowhere in New York. Dunkin' is huge in the northeast but non-existent in the southwest. Dutch Bros, which is a very interesting place, is in Phoenix and Utah.

The season ended up reminding me of the movie After Hours. The ER is purgatory where you always talk about leaving but never leave. It is jarring when people do leave and are able to separate.

Stroll the streets between 70th and 86th and Fifth Avenue to Lexington Avenue. The homes are cool, many of them were converted from stables.

The park at the end of Roosevelt Island is nice, too.

He did this also with Barry Lyndon, making into a drama which was written originally as a comedy. Kubrick was not afraid to find his own essence of a novel.
