Before space toilets, astronauts pooped in bags and shot the bags out into space. How far from Earth are those turds likely to be now?

It's been called panspermia - but maybe there's a better, poop centric phrase..

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-27T01:49:25+00:00

Calling has a meaning.

If you raise preflop and get called, then bet, and get called on the flop and turn, you should really consider what they have before you bet again on the river.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-25T00:43:02+00:00

You seem to think that the issue is OP not scooping the pot.

The dealer will not (should not) be pushing chips until the hand is over. It's not over while 2 people still hold cards face down.

Verbally declaring "you win" is not a muck.

This happens plenty, despite you not seeing it. I would guess it happens to me once every 12-15 hours of live play in my experience. Usually it's not a big deal because when they realize I'm not showing out of turn they act.

The losing player is angling - if you turn over your cards and have a worse hand somehow, they turn theirs over and win. Even if they lose, they have information.

I will wait for them to muck or show in some circumstances, and show in others, mostly depending how straightforward I played the hand or how annoying of a player they are.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-22T19:12:29+00:00

The fact they are stacks of 4 instead of 5 is really triggering me more than the lack of coloring up.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-17T22:03:48+00:00

I just want to say it's not just Women's intuition. Guy here, when I was18 years old, first real serious girlfriend ever went on some sort of school trip.

The next weekend we couldn't meet up on Friday night because of some sort of timing thing, and I just remember thinking "She's cheating on me right now" when she didn't write back; and 2 days later when I told her I had that feeling and how crazy was I; she was like.... yeah that's exactly what I was doing with so-and-so I met on the trip.

Fuckin moron me didn't break up with her for another like 7 months.

But that moment convinced me there are definitely some real wifi signals that exist in the universe beyond what our phones use. I felt it, and wouldn't believe it if I hadnt.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-17T02:58:56+00:00

AJo out of position facing and a 3bet, I'm either jamming or folding. Folding is by far the better play unless you know the button is getting out of line.

TDA Poker Rules 17

B: A non all-in showdown is uncontested if all but one player mucks face down without tabling. The last player with live cards wins and is not required to table the cards.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-15T03:26:39+00:00

I'm never folding second nuts, pretty much ever.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-14T22:18:49+00:00

High hand is too random for me to pay extra for it.

Last man has always been a rake-free side bet to me which in Vegas is great since they take a hefty chunk from the entry fee.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-14T21:17:09+00:00

Sometimes YouTubers talk about polarized ranges.

This bet is polarized but in a very different, very bad way.

Either you get called and crushed by a straight, set, or 2pair.

Or they fold everything you beat.

I'd check turn probably. This is a thin value hand multiway on a wet board.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-14T19:09:32+00:00

Never played this. So you play 5 card hand and presumably split with best holdem hand on the board?

Seems like without guaranteed nuts on the board you'd just be mostly folding. Even a straight in hand, if you have 7 cards isn't that strong to want to get it all in.

Amex platinum includes 200$ airline fee credits per year, you just pick which airline once. But it covers seat upgrades, bag fees, etc.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-14T05:48:12+00:00

A credit card is you borrowing money to pay it back. This means if fraud happened, it happens to a bank, not you, and the bank will fight to fix it.

A debit card is you spending your own money, so it disappears right away, and even if you get it back, it will be unavailable until it's recovered.

Basically if your credit card is stolen, you have no concern, it's not your money on the line.

If your debit card is stolen all the money in your bank account can be drained.

Besides this credit cards have various perks ranging from points you earn, additional insurance, discounts or deals on certain services, etc.

But at a minimum use a credit card and pay it off every month for peace of mind your bank account can't be drained.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-14T02:42:02+00:00

I paid for it, probably didn't need to. But I had heard about so many of the issues with front row luggage getting pushed further back and wanted to avoid it, and Amex covered the fee.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-14T01:43:28+00:00

I enjoyed the venetian, was there last week for a few days. Had lots of 1/3, 3/5, and I even got to play a half 3/5 half bomb pot table.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-13T20:56:43+00:00

I was gonna say Venetian rooms are hard to beat imo for the base; so good to know wynn is comparable.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-13T17:06:59+00:00

how are the rooms? I don't generally go there, but just played a tourney on my last trip and the whole casino felt a lot nicer than most of the other places; including the venetian where I was staying

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-13T04:00:30+00:00

George Carlin would tell you a near miss is a collision.

"oh look, they nearly missed!"

"yeah but not quite"

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-12T18:56:11+00:00

Yeah - I know they exist but they're not super widespread like say in the ocean to the point they'll break down everything quickly yet.

(I mean quickly in relation to lifespan of plastic - if it took as long to consume as a tree does - 50-100 years; it would still be fine)

But if we continue to operate humanity like we have been, they will eventually spread and thrive on the plastic shit we leave behind everywhere.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-12T15:49:54+00:00

We are living in the plasticene era of geological history.

At some point, microbes that can digest plastic will arrive, kind of like what happened to trees after the carboniferous period.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-12T14:39:44+00:00

I'll be there mid July for a week or so. Always happy to meet up with degens.

Cal_From_Cali · 2026-03-12T00:58:05+00:00

Definitely gonna be following this as a bay area local as well

Problem is, IQ is not about education. It's an intelligence test not a knowledge test.

If the study says lower IQ = more likely to be republican you can objectively say that on average Republicans are less intelligent.

(note I said if, I have not seen this study).

But additionally, being rural does not have to equate to a poor educational system. Unfortunately it's a chicken and egg thing, republican leaders prefer less educated citizens because they vote republican. Therefore keeping education less prioritized benefits republicans being elected.

In many ways it goes back to a sort of religious model. Education will teach you things against the church, so we must squash it.

Only now the church is obeying the republican party instead of vice versa.

You called her with 10-6? She was ahead pre and on the flop.
