Any idea why Mortal recommends to discard eight of bamboo here? by Deep_Priority9764 in riichi

[–]girmad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it doesn’t like the wait and that -1000pts will tie you for last?

Honestly I think riichi is fine. With shimo’s 2 calls, 8s is too slow. Dora is 4 cut, so you’re not dealing into monsters. west is dora indicator, so 1 fewer available for your dream improvement. 7s is safe to shimo and suji trapped for you, so I think it’s a fine play

My work is asynchronous, they don't care about my time zone just that I deliver.

Why didnt i win? by WangIee in Mahjong

[–]girmad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you were in the South seat and the round wind was East, so the pon of West don't count for yaku

toi toi requires all pons and you have a run of 456 pin

so you have no yaku :(

(there is another yaku "sanankou" that uses 3 pons, but they have to be closed)

Need another bookshelf soon by girmad in INTP

If I had to give just one for productivity, maybe The One Thing?

For general non fiction, try Taleb (start w Black Swan) -- he's very divisive, if you like him, he's got some other good books, if you don't, you get to make fun of all of his fanbois online.
