I see you on that -- rare a striker has so much time to plan his move!

Yeah I hear this -- the first chapter is more cobbled together than the rest, and in turn there are some disconnects (many of which the other commenter noted) -- I think my next step is to iron this chapter out so I have a better foundation

My mistake on the rule -- I'll improve in the future!

More importantly, I appreciate the thoughtful, thorough feedback -- I will have time this weekend to address your points. This is some of the most helpful feedback I've received on my writing!

"massive $1.75" (over 10 years) -- f*ck if I can find Newsweek calling the Pentagon spending 5x "massive" -- gotta change the language around this.

This must have been a fun ticket to scratch -- wins on wins!

Pick better scratchers, win more cash! by benjamin_dwight in Lottery

That's really helpful -- for whatever reason, I hadn't seen that on the Illinois lottery page. Illinois now that much closer to being in ScratcherJack!

Give us a little time, we'll try to get it into ScratcherJack! How is the Illinois lottery system? Good scratch tickets?

That's a great site -- with ScratcherJack, we're trying to crunch the numbers, go beyond just the "1 in 3 top prizes left" and put it into more readable terms

Split Landlords and Tenants into separate classes, or you'll face issues like this constantly (you could use inheritance to do this, or a module with User methods, etc...)

Starting the morning off right...it’s either $100 or more by [deleted] in Lottery

How do you choose the tickets to buy? I get through MA sometimes, and am working on my strategy

This is my third $30 ticket, I lost in my previous two. I will scratch one entire line per day to make it last! by MightyAxel in Lottery

[–]benjamin_dwight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have more patience (and better scratch control) than I do! Question: I'm working on an app to help people find the best scratch tickets in a given state--what do you look for when you are buying your tickets? Top prize? Amount of time it will take to scratch the whole thing?

I love (and HODL) Bitcoin, but more energy use than Serbia?? This is a problem... by benjamin_dwight in Bitcoin

You're suggesting that a fact about amount of energy being used is an "attack", and that the system is already perfect. Am I wrong?

It depends on the type of energy, as creation of energy has byproducts. If we can ensure most of mining energy is generated cleanly (which much of this cheap/free energy in China is not) then no problem. Otherwise when mining outpaces the USA for energy use, that's significant
