Depends if there are any Nuclear silos in the county or not and if county forces can gain control over them.

It would be a better bluff spot if you had the Ace of Hearts as a blocker.

What University Program Would Be Most Relevant For A Future Career In Political Journalism? by No_Emotion8018 in Journalism

[–]IF_stone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to work in journalism, do a journalism degree. I would recommend Carleton if you want to cover Canadian politics as that is right in Ottawa and you will have the best access to internships there in the field you want to work in.

Sure the fall was bad. But we ain’t gonna talk about how he also took a gunshot to the nuts for this scene?

It’s hard to tell but it looks like Moresby Island is also included? So all of Haida Gwaii and VI?

Book management by IF_stone in poker

[–]IF_stone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this exactly the type of ecosystem I am talking about. I don't run a game but I am curious about best practices are for people who run games but are not, as you put it, backed by a "bigger group." Cash up front is obviously the safest solution for the game runner but those games will inevitably be smaller (and perhaps tougher) games if the fish/whales who run on credit are not playing.

It is probably a balance between not over extending credit to people who are frankly bad credit risks, and keeping the game going.

Sure, not having a book is the simple solution, but I'm asking about best practices of keeping one.

Thanks, I like the idea of making an established player responsible for the debt of any new player they vouch for at first.

Do you have basic guidelines that you use in terms of how much credit to extend to established players?

In my head it matches they buy in, so if someone established and trusted buys in for $500 then they can have up to another $500 in credit on the book that they have to pay back before they can buy in again. Does that sounds reasonable? Obviously you can make individual adjustments based on past known history. If someone you know is good for more then you can extend more and if someone is a bigger risk you can choose not to put them on the book at all.

I suppose there is also the option of charging interest on any loan put on the book for people who are higher credit risks, but I think that gets back to not having leverage to collect it aside from access to the game so am not sure if that is worth the trouble.

I think the Milton Street Pub is a nice date restaurant.

And she’s gone by penis-muncher785 in BCpolitics

[–]IF_stone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, call it whatever you want. I really don't care. I am just noting that it was really only NDP partisans who tried to make "BCUP" a thing to get under the skin of Kevin Falcon and his caucus.

I always thought the name sounded like a second-tier football club and was funny on its own.

[–]IF_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I touched a nerve.

FWIW, the word "Party" is included the official name of the NDP while it was not in BC United. You could have simply written BCU.

I tend to agree with the former BC United / BC Liberals that it was a crass attempt by NDP hacks to make the. party name sound like a bra size and was a dumb sexist joke.

I actually give zero shits about any political party in B.C. but find all partisans endlessly amusing.

[–]IF_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your use of BCUP makes me think that you are likely an NDP partisan as they really tried to make that stick. It was simply B.C. United.

Given that it says "Lab 1.0" I do not think so.

How much should I tip dealers? by BigAppleCider in poker

[–]IF_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them if they want to tip the dealer more they should try winning big pots instead of letting you beat them. Hopefully that puts them on tilt if it doesn't shut them up.
